Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Discover, understand, share. Being free.
ABOUT ME
I love to discover new things. When I travel, I like to try to see as much things as possible on the country : history, art, meet people and try to understand how they live.
I really enjoy unexpected encounter and talking with new people.
PHILOSOPHY
Don't forget who you are. Love yourself, accept yourself as you are, be yourself, not the one that others and the society want you to be. Live life so you won't have any regrets. Be free. Open your mind, try to understand other people... well, a mix of all of this...
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I used to host people and help them to discover Santa Barbara, but moved beginning of 2015 in a really tiny space with my girlfriend, so can't host right now. I definitely will host again when I move in a bigger space. In the meantime, I try to talk about CS to everybody around me
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I have so great memories of couch surfing experiences! Amazing encounters with people from all around the world.
I really like hosting people and listening to them explaining their project, their philosophy of life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I had so many great moments since I arrived in California. Nothing crazy but lot of beautiful memories: resting in a natural hot spring under the stars, being awaken by the sunrise after sleeping out in the open, climbing in the amazing landscape of Joshua Tree, doing some multi-pitches in Yosemite, walking in the forest of Sequoia Park...
Teach, Learn, Share
Teach: I can teach you climbing or surfing. Climbing is one of the most complete and amazing sport I have ever done; I would be more than happy to make you discover this! I can teach you how to juggle too (3,4 balls, diabolo) and unicycle. We can do some acroyoga as well. Finally, I can teach you some things in IT security, if you're interested in that, but well, let's say climbing is more fun...
Learn: everything!
Share: experiences of travel, happiness
