About Me

I'm all about good vibes, positive attitudes, easy going and open minded!

Borned and raised in the suburbs of Paris, France, I moved to Canada in 2016, lived there 2.5 years, went to Asia on a long term journey in 2019 and met my wife who's Chilean in Vietnam and she got me in Chile in 2020 before covid and we lived there 4 years and got married there. Really loved this country! Now we moved to Brisbane, Australia at the beginning of 2024 for my wife's studies.

My friends would probably describe me as an adventurous, spontaneous and maybe a bit crazy sometimes ahah! I love living in the present moment, enjoy simple things, discover new cultures and countries - Experience the world!

I celebrate life everyday!!

Stuff I love doing: Kitesurfing, meditation, workout, reading, learning, traveling (but much slower than, I might get old now :D)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to meet new people, share things and for me this is the best way to travel and know about the culture.
I feel like I’m traveling when I host travelers!
Plus, visiting a place with locals is such an unique experience, they can show you things that you would never see by yourself!

I don't care about the material things that someone could give me, I care about time, attention, honesty, loyalty, and effort, sharing and understanding. Those gifts mean more than anything money could buy!

Experience, Skills, Idea and Emotions are your best investment, The traditional measures of success - fancy cars and house- are no longer relevant. Emotions, memories, connections, relations, bonding, idea, experience. these are the things that matters.
