About Me

Wanderer. Always hope I have found a place to settle until the adventure calls me again. Currently on the island of Ice and Fire.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have space, time and like to meet new people from all around the world. So it's quite natural to host travelers.

It is also a wonderful way to discover places with local. I had the chance to do that in San Francisco, california and Leon, Spain, but also to visit guests I hosted in Iceland in Switzerland and Austria, I recommend to visit your guests or hosting back your hosts, it deepens the experience.

Welcome to Iceland!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It´s a very little thing, but I released a black kite after he was injured and mended.

I did not take part of the care, but just the feeling of giving it its freedom back and watch it fly away was amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can probably teach you some boardgames rules and then we share the fun of playing together.

I am very curious about learning about other people's cultures, languages, skills.

Maybe a cliché for a Frenchman, but I have a passion for food and cuisine, and all the flavour than mankind invented to make life sweeter.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share food, meals, stories, boardgames, maps and documentation of Iceland ( and other places I have or plan to visit), sleeping bag, warm socks and spare gloves, warm socks and hat, for those who did not get the part ICE of Iceland.

I put "not accepting guests" because I need to ask my flatmates first but feel free to ask.
