My name is Tim, I'm a French traveler, hitchhiker, cinéphile, lover of the unknown and history nerd. I've been on the road since April 2018 and would love for it to keep going much much longer 🫡

Always up for adventures and anything that get me out of my comfort zone. Especially if it involves danger and or alcohol

Available in French English and Spanish

I can share with you how to hitchhike, how to travel on a budget, teach you some bad words in french and cook ratatouille and Quiche Lorraine

I'd love talking with you about any subjects, whether it's cinema, books, history, geopolitics, football or midget wrestling. (Apparently I'm also a good listener)

Looking very much forward to meet and create awesome memories with you
