About Me

// At the moment i'm more likely to host last minute requests than long-planned ones //

I settled near Geneva last year, but I have moved a little bit in France before there: Tours, North, Alsace, Burgundy, ...
I'm curious about everything, and I love to discover and learn, in almost every domain.
I spend my evenings and my weekends practising outdoors activities (rock climbing, bivy, trail running, ski touring, mountaineering, caving, ice climbing, ...)
I would be glad to meet other travellers, and share our experiences and point of views.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Until now I have travelled using my (small) converted van or by doing wild camping when I was trekking. These two ways of travelling are awesome, offer total freedom and immersion in nature, but are not the best way to meet people and discover other cultures...
This is why I start the couchsurfing experience, as a guest as well as host. My goal is to learn, meet other people, discover their life.

Music, Movies, and Books

A lot of different kinds of music, from Dub to rock or Trip-hop, but i have a weakness for les têtes raides and les ogres de barback, And I'm convinced that Mano Negra is the best remedy against feeling down.

For readings, it essentially depends of what book was around me when I felt the need to read.
