About Me

I'm 30, back to studies after teaching philosophy for a few years in order to achieve my Phd.
I love travelling in an authentic manner, I feel the need to discover new places and new people as much as I can. I lived (mostly during my studies) in Canada, New Zealand, Japan and also Iceland when I volunteered for a few months in a school.
It helped me a lot to grow up and to learn about the world, about life, and about human being.
I used Couchsurfing in all my journeys. It was fantastic to meet foreigners and share good moments together.
It has been a few year since I did not use it. I missed it I guessed^^

PHILOSOPHY

The guy who said that "Man is a wolf to man" did not know couchsurfing.
It makes me believe in humanity, thanks to all these hosts around the world :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm a host as well as a guest, I'm enjoying both part of the experience equally.
One of my best hosting experience was during Christmas 2013, when I organized a CS Christmas Party in Montreal, for all people who were far from their family. It was an international success !
Being a guest procured me also a lot of intense moments of hapiness, especially during my road trip in USA (summer 2014). I only have good memories.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first CS experience was in september 2013, when I hitch-hiked in the south of France. I did not know much about it but it was absolutely fantastic. I always bring wine with me or something that I can share or offer. I started hosting people in Montreal juste after, and then in Lyon.
