Edit: for my trip in Siberia and Japan in April-May 2017, me and my partner Clémence will be travelling together. After travelling together in France, Scotland and Spain, we decided to cross Eurasia together. Sometimes couples aren't as fun (e.g. starting to kiss in front of you and other such awkward couple things) --> we are not like this at all. Clémence doesn't have a CS profile yet, so I have added a couple of pictures to my profile where you can see her. She is an ecologist working for the French government. She is smart and funny, and one of the most sociable person I've ever met.

I am sociable and helpfull when I can. I am interested in people and characters. I like to travel, to be outside, read, talk, cook... I feel concerned with how the world is going and keep up to date with current events. I am also interested in the art world news.
I can go into intense discussions, but I am a rather laid back guy.

I am currently doing a PhD that brings me to live between France, Belgium and Scotland. I enjoy the travelling that it involves, but I'll be glad to settle down a bit in whatever I do next.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have hitchiked and couchsurfed a lot around Europe, and I have met people I will never forget. Some have become good friends !
