1️⃣ CS is not Tinder 🙅🏼‍♂️

2️⃣ I’m 26, traveled to over 70 countries, was hosted by over 100 locals around the world and hosted over 30 guests through various hosting platforms. I had so many amazing encounters on the way. Looking for new ones!

3️⃣ I reply to every single message

4️⃣ You don’t really have to read the rest of my profile to be hosted but try to personalize your request at least

🙋🏼‍♂️ I'm an easy-going and laid back 26 years old guy, fascinated by people and the world we live in. For the past 11 years I spent most of my time abroad and I try to host when I am home. Although the distinction between abroad and home is getting blurry with time…

🚴‍♂️ I have traveled across several continents mostly by bicycle in the past few years. It has been the ultimate way to do what I love in a sustainable and healthy manner. I have also hitchhiked and backpacked around the world quite extensively!

💫 For the curious, the last photo on my profile is a list of memorable traveling moments ;)

Some people actually read until the end? I do too!
Write the word “company” in your request so I’ll know
I’m in good company 😉
Did you know company literally means “sharing bread”? Like in the French word copain (friend) or compagnon (companion). Let’s break bread together my friend and learn from each other…

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love the spirit and the ideal it promotes. I've been a fairly active host and guest on Warmshowers, a similar platform targeting bike travelers (and slow travelers in a broader sense). My profile over there ➡️ https://www.warmshowers.org/user/264575
All those digitalized hosting platform are a blessing of our era!
