About Me

Hello, and welcome everyone.
I'm Michael, a multicultural French/British/Spanish guy. Tall, brown-haired, cool, funny, intelligent, modest :D but most of all, open-minded. Enough to let you sleep on my couch even though I don't know a thing about you !

I am currently on a road trip around the world and am looking for cool people to meet and places to crash on my way east, from Europe to America. I hope to give some meaning to my travels by accomplishing a personal project concerning ecology and the environment in the meantime.

You're more than welcome to msg me, I'll be glad to share a discussion with you or even more!

My Philosophy in life is quite simple : Take what is given, but give shitloads more, you'll end up a lot richer in the end!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Teach, Learn, Share

I worked in so many different areas of expertise and have lived of so many passions, you'll most certainly be shocked considering my young age! I have much to share with you :
- I have a masters in civil engineering
- Worked in energy power plants in Africa
- Worked as a strategy consultant in energy sector first then the medical sector
- Work as a professional freelance translator
- Certified English as a foreign language teacher
- Soon to be travel blogger and documentary producer

So if you find interest in any of these subjects, I'd be delighted to share my knowledge and experiences with you

What I Can Share with Hosts

Most of all, I'm fluent of French, English, and Spanish, so we'll be able to enjoy a conversation and I can teach you any language if you wish!
I'm also trying to learn Japanese and Arabic.

I've travelled a lot, and would be more then happy to share my experiences with my hosts, and to get advice and opinion on their country : where to go, personal impressions, culture...

Secret bonus : if you ask politely, I've been known to be an amazing cook, but you'll have to catch me on a good mood haha
