Travel means meetings and creative discoveries; after a year and a half roud the world I found an opportunity to relocate in Barcelona and work for HP while learning Spanish and enjoy Cataluna!

In 2013 I decided to quit my job in France for a year around the world. East Asia, North and central America and then Africa were meaningful stops over my journey. I've met so many random but beautiful people along the way, not to mention rockstar couchsurfers!

Now I'm finally ready to give it back and host again, as I did for a few years in France, and it's always been a great time.
I don't have much space in my room and we live in a crowded house, but I'm exploring Barcelona on night time and week-ends so feel free to contact me if you want to join.

My personal philosophy: "I'll find a way" Kinda always did so far!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I never considered myself a Tourist. I just like to get lost in a new environment and ending up with new connections. Everyone is able to be your new friend as long as you're ready fot it.
For me it's all about getting off the path and gather with fellow CSers to get to know more cities / cultures.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first CS was in 2010 in the US as a Surfer and was a great experience. As I came back to Strasbourg in France I was blessed to have a great place fit for CSers and hosted more than 50 different people, from all over the planet which is so exciting to discover so many cultures and folks. And I obviously was more motivated getting back on the road when I had so many travelers!
