About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Meeting the world in my living room

ABOUT ME

Well it is alway tough to describe your self in a few word. I prefer to meet people and discover each other.

But in a few word : I'm an enthusiast person, always ready to discover new thing, new peoples, new landscape.

I use to work in a big computer compagnie building software no one care about. 5 days a week, and only few weeks of vacations to discover the world.

So I quite to be able to manage my life differently. I'm now working by my self, building apps for smartphones. And I am my own boss.
Right now I'm still working a bit to much, but I can decide where and when I was to work. And so I'm trying to travel and work at the same time. I just need an internet connexion and the world can be my office !

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My roommate (Matthieu Philippe) is a big fan of couch surfing, and we host a lot of peoples at Home.

And when the nice days are coming we are going to the Lyon's couch-surfing meeting every Monday to do some "pétanque" (a ball game, come with us and we will tell you the rules !)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My parents are member of SERVAS, with is a bit the ancestor of CouchSurfing (come on my couch I will tell you more about it).

I done some travelling in the USA, UK and France being guested in the SERVAS network, with my family. I really love it and we meet some wonderful people thank to it.

My parents have also guest people for 20 years now, so I'm a bit use to have some foreigners at home ! Talking about how small is the world.

Interests

I love traveling, discovering new people, new way of thinking, of living.
I enjoy discovering a city with someone living in it. Walking around, finding a nice pub at the end of the day, and then maybe a place to party for the night. But I also like waking up early to go for a hike to discover the country side.

I'm also a big fan of photographie, so I can stay way to long in front of a tree waiting for the perfect light ! And hope I can realize some great portrait of : you, my guest. If you are ok with that of course !
