About Me

I would say that I am a big dreamer and ''un bon vivant'' like we said in my country, enyoy the present moment.

I am a french guy who always been interested and curious about other countries, culture, languages and people and wanted to travel since a young age.
I didn't have the chance to do it when I was a child so I decide to go and live my dreams for real, that's why I went to Australia where I worked and travel in a van for almost two years around the country.
I've been backpacking all around South America and lived a little while in the great city of Medellin.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really like the concept.

I've been able to meet so many different people(locals, expats, families, students) and make actually real new friends all across South America so far.
It's the best way to discover known and unknown places in cities or town, experienced new things and a great way to make lasting personal connections!
