Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Enjoying my life, cherishing the moments I spend with my friends and relatives. Exploring wilderness through rock climbing and trekking.
ABOUT ME
Curious would be what defines me the most. I'm eager to discover new things everyday. I am fascinated by the life of others, there are thousands and thousands of stories that I could learn from. Everyone is an adventure. My grandpa had an extraordinary life, he travelled through the world and managed to raise an awesome family. He was an inspiration for me that became the beacon on my path. Never give up on your dreams is what I've learnt from him.
I'm a man who believes it's possible to live differently. I'm sick of hearing how I should be and what I should do. I'm a dreamer and that will never change. I'm always looking for a goal to reach and that's what motivates me to go forward.
I lived in Spain half year and since then, I decided that I'll live abraod after my studies! That's really a weird feeling to be alone in an other part of the world away from your family, compelling and stressful at the same time. I'm planning to travel the world. I would like to see new territories and communities which could suit me better than my native country. I mean, I'm born in a place where all my ties are but you never know if it's the right place for you. You naturally stay there because it is more convenient. Nevertheless, maybe another part of the world is made for you, where people and environment match with your opinions and thoughts.
I know, it portraits me like someone super serious and blablabla but I'm not! I'm the funny eccentric guy who loves to live in the moment!
PHILOSOPHY
Try to not regret anything.
I like this quote of Mark Twain, I've just seen it in a stupid movie :
“The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why.”
I'm still looking. But I feel like discovering who you are is maybe the most interesting step.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Distributing my joy anywhere I go.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
It's official, I have used couchsurfing! 'Selfcongrats : calp clap clap'
Hum what to say, I like the community. We all share similar ideas and thoughts. That's what makes it easier to get along with the others. Stories to tell and to be told. I had great time with couchsurfers.
Interests
Art in general, I like all kind and I go often to different exhibitions. I like to draw ( obviously because of my studies ). I also like to take picture and play music, even though it's been long since the last time. I like to travel, meet people of other culture, learn about them ( like everyone on couchsurfing ). Yeah, and also talking about cinema!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I can't say that this is amazing but I've hitchicked once from Belgium to Spain and back and to Stockholm the year after. That was really a compelling experience.
Teach, Learn, Share
Hum, I don't know what to say in that part. Just speak with me and maybe you will learn things. I can't pretend to be an interesting person, you will have to judge by yourself. It's all subjective in the end.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I could draw you. Aaaaah, I guess you're interested by that one!
