About Me

DISCLAIMER, I only host international travelers. I appreciate much more extroverted, talkative and enthusiastic people with stories to tell rather than people that just want only a free accommodation spending the whole time on their phone.

Hello ! I was recently an european volunteer at the Stanica Zariecie Cultural Center in Slovakia ! (May 2018 to May 2019) and I also teach French for beginners as a tutor.

In everyday life, I love meeting new people and sharing our travel experiences.

I like playing sports and go to concerts (rock, jazz and funk). In particular I do a lot of outdoor sports like biking, hiking and sometimes climbing.

I was also a hydrogeology and environment engineer for a while and then I went to Lisbon as a volunteer to work in a hostel for backpackers!

In 2015, I was a member of ESN in Nancy (Erasmus student network): association for international students. I organized cultural events, sports and cultural activities in Nancy. But my main missions were to welcome international students in Nancy.

See you soon

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- Being a subject for an experience in a linguistic laboratory

- Surfing on a crownd at a celtic music festival thanks to a door that some dudes carried

- Getting charged by a herd of cows and jump throught the electric fence cause I needed to take soil samples for a volcanic soil study when I was student in environment

- Crossing Poland from West (Poznan) to North East (lithuanian border) by the highway and I almost had an accident cause a crazy polish truck driver wanted to crush my car.

- Being jabbed in the butt with a syringe by a huge polish guy not very soft at polish emergencies

- Attending a village fete in North of Prague where everybody was dressep up and dancing in fields with the locals

- Being in a sharing car (blablacar) as a passenger in order to go in Budapest from Poznan (Poland) with only polish guys that couldn't speak english.

- Being barman in a seedy pub in Blackpool, north to Liverpool for 1 month. Say to a customer if you can not take his cocaine in the pub, in particular when it's next to me (really next to me)

Teach, Learn, Share

- Lindy hop (swing dance)
- climbing

- Wim Hof method : ice baths and breaths techniques to improve immunity system and happiness
