About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I have way too many things crossing my mind at this moment !!

ABOUT ME

I'm a normal person... easy-going, fun, kind-of-quiet and respectful... like to eat & drink well and love what I do.

PHILOSOPHY

As far as traveling ... I always like to mention this sentence: there's a big difference between being a tourist and a traveler, while one doesn't know where he is... the other one doesn't know where he's going to!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My apartment is kind of small... I don't have a proper area to host someone who's visiting the city. I can hang out and (if I have time) show people around.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It always depends on the person you're hosting or on who's hosting you. These are always different experiences, you never know what you get.

I slept by mistake in the Colombian jungle... just with flip-flops and shorts, because we got lost hiking back to town. It's a long story...
