About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel to live, live to travel !!!

ABOUT ME

I always knew what I wanted to do: sail around the world, do some mechanics. At the age of 17, my aim was to quit home, not because the ambiance was difficult, but I wanted to live my own life. Reasonably, I continued my studies in mechanics, that lead me to England for one year, that was the beginning of travels. Besides England, I drove over many counties and discovered lots of friendly people, that was amazing.
Now I sail on the seas, not over the world for the moment (mainly Africa), but everything happens to whom is waiting, isn't it?
All my holidays are spent into voyage and discovering new horizons...

PHILOSOPHY

Live your dreams or die tryin' ;-)
Maybe a little bit rought, but that's how I feel!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can host without any problems, the more people I see the more happy! ;-)
Anyway, I'll be very pleased to meet up with people around the world to discover the non-tourist part of any place and share experiences of every kind.
I'm always willing to test new things, even strange and weird. Can you surprise me?

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My sister told me about couchsurfing when she went into Ireland, she had very good experiences, and I also met 2 very friendly couchsurfers in NYC, so I'm now in!

Interests

Travels (surprising, uh?)
Sailing (I've been on a sail-something -like sailboat, sailboard, windsurf, dinghy, catamaran, kite-surf...- since, I don't remember, very young, and I love that! Even to cruise or race)
Snowboarding (with a kite also...)
Motorbike (to travel, to cruise and to race)
Off-road cycling (especially in wild areas, where you are just with nature)
Trekking (same as above)
Gliding, especiallly in mountains.
Rugby
Golf

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Been in non-touristic huge speleological caves (amazing underground beauty)
Miraculous escaping from a sinking ship on the coast during a storm...
Africa... very good lesson of humility. They can offer way more than they have.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd love to teach how to sail or ride a bike
And I'd love to test everything new
