Overview
About Me
Half teacher half traveller. During my stay in Switzerland I’m a primary teacher and then I enjoy to travel around the world to improve my knowledges on others cultures and way to live.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
What is better than meeting people around the world, share moments, traditions, culture and smiles with people we don't know ?
I'm on Couchsurfing to know local people and get out of the routine of a simple traveller. Share moments with local people is definitly the best way to know a place !
One friend tells me one day, at first it's not the landscape which makes your trip but the people you meet there !
Interests
Travelling, extrem sports (snowboarding, longboarding, downhill and climbing), nature and wildlife. Mountain is really imortant to me , I spend there more or less 2 months a year in summer or in winter.

Music, Movies, and Books
I can listen and appreciate all kind of music but usually I listen reggae, latin, electro and rock music. I love songs played with just an acoustic guitar.
Movies: Into the wild (the soundtracks are the best for travelling), Gran Torino, Requiem for a dream, Fight club
Books : Luis Sepulveda, Sylvain Tesson.
One of Sylvain Tesson's quote I love is : "Some people hoped to enter in History but we are some preferring to disappear in geography"
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Live one month in Amazonia with the purpose to study the biodiversity of this incredible area, it means being lost in this jungle, swim into virgin lakes with caimans, snakes and all that stuff to take a census of the population and the evolution. The first step to become a Mike Horn
