About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To move with my bycicle and my tent to meet people, to live with the wonderfull nature in Pyrénées, and to try to be a not too bad teacher...

ABOUT ME

When I became student at university, I got a job to save money and travel around the world. For a few years I decided to travel by bike because I think it's the best way to really meet people in the countryside, to eat and sleep in the houses and to speak about the differences of our cultures...

PHILOSOPHY

I think the main problem is that the individualist way of life in Europe isn't good to meet people and to be interested by other cultures. My philosophy of life is a ecological and simple life, a interset for the global political situation whithout watching TV, and almost meet people everywhere because it's the only way to like the other humans...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I met many interesting and nice people, it's very nice when you travel alone whith your bycicle to stay sometimes whith people to speak about your experience and the culture of the country you're visiting.

Interests

I love discover litterature of everywhere in the world, I practise sports and music, I love meeting people in my country or when I travel to speak about political and social situations and imagine together how to build a better world... I love too live in the nature, that's why I prefer travelling whith my bike to sleep whith my tent in beautifull places.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like reading, and I really love the novels of Fedor Dostoievski. I listen to a lot of music, especially some rock music, sometimes rap music, and I love oriental jazz like Anouar Brahem. For cinema, I like the movies of Kustorica, Tony Gatlif and Ken Loach.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I saw many beautifull things in the world, from Machu pichu to Petra, but the most incredible is the hospitality and the kindness of the people in arabic and muslim countries : we have many things to learn in Europe about this culture...

Teach, Learn, Share

When I meet someone I like to learn and understand things about a town, a country, a job, a religion (...) I don't Know. I think I can speak of my trips in the world, of what I read about any subjects, of the life in France...
