Why I’m on Couchsurfing

After having given up my job and my apartment in Paris in summer 2017 in order to go exploring South America for a 6 months road trip between January and July of 2018, I recently became a new "surfer". During my journey I met and have been hosted by many couchsurfers in 🇦🇷, 🇨🇱, 🇧🇷, 🇵🇾 and 🇺🇾, many of my hosts became really good friends so I am really grateful with life for having experienced couchsurfing! And now I wish I could welcome some travellers too. See you soon!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music : listening many different artists but if I had to mention just some of them I would say Muse, Stromae, Gotan Project, The Beatles, Georges Brassens, Blur, Daft Punk, M, Queen, Manu Chao...

Films : So many... but the ones that comes first now : Apocalypse Now, Requiem for a dream, La vie est belle, Le dîner de cons, American Beauty...

Books : In particular those written by Jules Verne and Agatha Chritie

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

This time when, with my brother in our balloon during the French Nationals preparation time, we went up until 6.000 fts above the ground, and about 5.000 fts above a solid cloud cover, so that we had the feeling to be really alone in the atmosphere, lost between the low white clouds and the blue sky immensity, without any noise, just flying in the middle of nowhere... it was really impressive!
