I would have liked to become a lawyer, olympic champion, spy, soldier, Lara Croft, private detective, wildlife reporter, politician, professional hacker or paleontologist. But life is about making choice so I will start as being an explorer.
If today I'm traveling around the world, I actually started by studying applied arts in France but always with a special attraction for photography.
I got my diploma and left straight away at the age of 19 to travel. Never stopped ever since :)

I like to understand from other cultures and evolve with it. That’s why I love travelling. And especially in countries where the society is totally different from mine. I can learn more from it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfing is one of the best way to discover a country from inside.
I've never been disapointed by my eCSperience, and hope it will keep going this way.

Interests

I love to discover life and the world. I love to see a country from the local's eyes and understand why it's going this way. I love and do photography with my good friend Canon 5D. I love History, cinema, soundtracks, Lara Croft and spirituality, thinking about how to rebuild the world after a Zombie invasion and to be enjoy like a child. I also love to laugh.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Since my 19 and my first one-year-trip in Australia, followed by three months in Southeast Asia, I keep traveling around the globe learning to undress my concepts and enrich myself from other cultures.

(but I can also add to the listing : skydiving and bungy jumping in New Zealand, climbing the Himalaya, hikking on the Great Wall, kissing a snake, attending the Kumb Mela, eating red ants and larva. Alive... And if I have to die tomorrow, I would die happy. Which is cool.)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share about photography, what I learn from the different society I've met, the way I look at the world...
As I am french, of course I can teach some french, english, share everything I know from my culture...
