ABOUT ME

I am a 35 years old photographer. You can have a look at my gallery here: www.500px.com/matthieukrieger
I spend a lot of time in the mountains hiking, skiing or looking for things to gather to eat. I also love to travel abroad (often hitchiking) and simply enjoy a chilled out moment around good food, beers and people.

PHILOSOPHY

There is no time to kill. So let's live it!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Following changes in CS terms of use (I know I sound like an old grumpy man), I've been way less active these last years.
However, I'd like to host people again and to meet new people cause the world is too rich of crazy bees!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Nicely hosted by chance in Costa Rica, just became an everyday spirit now.

Interests

Some would say only food (I think they just know me when I'm hungry). Discovering and wandering in landscapes which make this world unbelievable, taking pictures of the light, walking to reach it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Fishing on the boat of Kent who picked me up hitchiking; barbecue with him the catch on the beach; being invited to have dinner and drink wine with the grandma of Yanis who gave me a 7hrs ride in Australia, meeting my friend Ralph Spaulding, who told how to sneak in Port Arthur after picking me up on the road because "it was free when was young", bivouacking with my friend Josh in Cradle Mountain NP 3 years after hosting him in Toulouse...
