*New member*

Former literature student and future secondary school teacher, you might meet me during this gap in-between (nice to meet you !)
I spent most of my early adult years exploring the immaterial world (mostly in libraries at uni) and took my first chance to explore the material one. I am now travelling non-stop since November 2017 in a somehow random way.
I go with the flow

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd love to meet new people and discover cities in a different way !

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

"I've seen a little on TV."

Got stuck 24 hours in a non equipped mountain shelter because of a blizzard and bad organization

Met a guy who could survive the midges half naked in Scotland (and survived the midges as well, in a car)

Heard absolute silence, out of a sudden, on a Western Irish beach

Crossed the border between Croatia and Bosnia two times, three complete police checks

Saw the entire Milky Way once, in a Bulgarian forest

Nearly got attacked by pack of dogs in Thailand at night, but started the scooter to fly off at the-very-last-moment

Crawled in the illegal catacombs in Paris

Took a gbaka in Abidjan

Hiked up to 4.800m while living on garlic soups

Attended a Guru Puja in Kopan Monastery, Kathmandu

Played as an extra in a Bollywood movie and got payed for it

Took the suburban train in Mumbai during the rush hour

Travelled alone on a motorbike over 3.000km in Laos and Vietnam

Crossed Russia in many trains

What I Can Share with Hosts

When it comes to meet people, travelling is for me about discovering new point of views and having unexpected but interesting conversations, would they be meaningful, deep or just pleasant. If there were anything to share it would be these things, and good moments !
