About Me

I'm a French-born geek who's been living and working in London for the past 5 years. I also lived and studied in the US (Philadelphia) for a bit.

I work in tech startups, helping them build and launch their digital product. I also run an events company to help people in this industry be better at their job.

In my spare time, I love doing martial arts. Most recently, I've started doing Muay Thai (thai boxing). I took a trip to Thailand at the beginning of the year and did an intense 2 month training camp to learn from the Thais themselves. That was quite an epic experience!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing and I go way back ;-) I first signed up when the website looked a bit of a mess, but the community was really tight. I hosted a few couchsurfers whilst living in Philly and couchsurfed myself when I traveled in the US. After a while not using the site, I signed up again as I always had wonderful experiences here!

I think it's the best way to truly experience a city. I love meeting new people and hearing about their story.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Here are a couple:
- Started a company aged 20 (it was a massive failure in the end, but I learned a lot from it!)
- Did an intense, 2-month long thai boxing training camp in Phuket (2017)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can teach you French and everything you want to know about my country. ;-)
I'm also up for sharing what it's like to live in London and work in the tech startup scene there (if that's of any interest!) But anything, really.
