I lived in China for 3 years and travelled around SE Asia for a while. Now I'm in Central America to learn Spanish.

I like: bicycle rides, yoga, taking long walks, reading, cooking (still working on that skill), hiking, camping, kayaking, snorkeling, wine, dogs, making new friends, the feeling when a plane takes off.

Travelling and discovering the world is what keeps me alive. I believe there is nothing better for the soul than swimming in the ocean, or making friends from all around the world and discovering new cultures and cuisines.

I like to laugh. I try to meditate and do yoga everyday.

My previous experiences in CS:
I travelled in France and couchsurfed with a girl in Lyon and another one in Valence.

I couchsurfed on a beach on Lamma Island, Hong Kong. Very fun experience.

I've been CSing in Shanghai a few times.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love travelling and I love making new friends, so CS is a good way to combine those.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Go to SE Asia alone "sur un coup de tête". A week after deciding I was going, I was on a plane to Bali.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can teach you a few words of french. My cuisine isn't very good, so we can share a good meal at the closest restaurant.
