About Me

Hmmm quite tricky to introduce myself in just a few sentences, so I'll try to keep it simple and efficient !

Since my very young age I've been always interested in one thing : Travelling ! At first, it just was all around France, then when I started to get some cash of my own I finally took a little step further and crossed some borders.

And then it came, this feeling of absolute freedom, no boundaries, new adventures to come and of course meeting people and discovering whole new cultures !

I just want to get this feeling as much as possible in my life, it does feel like a drug in the end, but it's a necessary one ! I'm getting so optimistic when I travel, filling in with huge positive vibes, that when I actually come back "home", I see everything in a new way, the word "sharing" would be at the center of it.

So basically, that's me !

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One thing does matter to me when I'm travelling : people.

I'm here to meet and also greet new ones, and I've been on so many couches, sofas & carpets so far that it seems logic to me to come here.

I want to discover as many countries as I can, legs are working just fine, so I should enjoy ASAP. But one does not have friends everywhere around the globe, therefore the Couchsurfing Experience is the perfect answer !

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Buying my own backpack when I was 14, take the night train and travel around France by myself for the first time in my life.
Yup.. nothing that amazing, but to me that was a life experience, and that still is !
Little guy left his little town to discover a whole new big world.

Teach, Learn, Share

Like you probably saw above, it's written that I'm an english trainer, which means everyday I step outside, take my car, drive to a few different places seperated by a few kilometers, get to meet people and teach them english !
Can also teach you how to cook a few typical french dishes from my region, as well as our culture and language of course !

I love this part of my job, teaching and in the same way sharing things, things they know and they want to talk about, sharing is amazing.

Though I'm kind of a teacher, I'm an excellent learner as well, I'll never get used to learning new things !
