Overview
About Me
I am seeking an answer to many questions. But does it really matter if I don't find what I'm looking for ? You tell me.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Because I support sharing economy, love, stupid selfless actions, social change, and alternative lifestyles.
I started being on this website at 17 when I was living in Ireland... a broke friend of mine decided to come over but I couldn't host him.
When I got finally 18, I started hitchhiking across Europe. The more I was doing it, the more I realised how much positive energy there was out there and how little the people were believing in it, especially with the development of internet.
Hitchhikers are becoming an endangered rare species, but not only - human warmth, people daring to ask for a service, smiles, eye contact.
What kind of freaking world are we going to spend our future lives in?
I'd like you to help me to keep believing in our future, to keep thinking we still can trust our peers.
I'm 22 now, this profile is quite old, but you got the message. (And maybe my point of view hasn't changed much)
Interests
I am obviously interested in meeting people and travelling! (that could be my definition of a great life)
But not only... Nature, mountains, stunning philosophy that twists your brain, ART (painting, photography, drawing, filming, ink), alternative ways of thinking and living, love, social change.

Music, Movies, and Books
MUSIC: Almost everything (techno, metal, punk, reggae, dub, trip hop, rap, minimal, jazz, classic) with a HUGE preference for trance music.
I do go to raves but I am more interested in feeling these awesome bass vibes than taking hard drugs and boasting about how fucked up I am.
BOOKS: countless... lots of french classics on my shelter, mostly novels, quite a few poetry.
FAVORITE MOVIE: please please if you are a cinema enthusiast give me a really good classic I need to watch!! ;)
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Choosing to listen to that crazy voice inside me. Experiencing things rather than speculating...
Hitchhiking thousands of kilometers and meeting awesome people on the way.
Teach, Learn, Share
Yes please! Knowledge makes us accountable...
- Studying Russian and Spanish. If you speak one of these, I'll love you.
- Playing piano (but that's not a thing you find everywhere...)
- Weird cooker. That's my way of not saying bad. I know you'll be nice and tell it's still ok, but I apologize for the crappy dinner.
I'm getting better tho...
What I Can Share with Hosts
Warmth mostly! A big smile, a caring attitude, a warm meal and a blanket to curl up under if you're being hosted.
Great talks if you enjoy talking.
Skills if you want to learn from the little I know.
An attentive ear if you feel like sharing some of your life experiences.
Hugs if you are tactile!
