About Me

I'm a s.low carbon traveler : I mostly travel by bicycle, hitchhiking (car but also boat hitchhiking), sailing !
In France I’m working as an engineer for the environment (in urban planning). I travel to meet new people and discover new cultures :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I use couch surfing to meet new people while traveling !

I love traveling and sailing. I am interesting in sustainability and I’m working as an engineer on how to make cities more sustainable.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most extraordinary think I've done until the next one is probably crossing the Atlantic Ocean back and forth on a sailing boat. It took me five weeks from France to the Caribbean (Saint-Martin), and five more weeks to come back to France. Meantime the two crossings, I sailed a few months in the Caribbean by boat hitchhiking.
Another nice adventure was to travel by hitchhiking from Compiegne (France) to Budapest (Hungary) : 1500 km !

Teach, Learn, Share

I used to go very often on the backstage of movies because my father works for film sets (Asterix and Cleopatra, OSS117, Largo Winch, ....). So I can share a bit about cinema's real world.
I also sailed quite a lot (about 10 000 nautical miles), so I would be happy to talk about my sailing experience and how to travel by boat hitchhiking !
Finally, professionally I work for the environment in cities (water management, biodiversity, waste management, etc), so I can share my knowledge about that.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would like to share with my hosts travelling stories, tips and advises about nice places all around the world. Furthermore, the big advantage of couchsurfing is to host/be hosted by natives, so that we can discuss about culture and origins.
