After working 6 years as an engineer specialized in IT railway systems, I told myself I needed a break so I took a sabbatical to enjoy life and see what the world has to offer !

I have taken my time to visit Scandinavia and finally made a stop in Tromsø to experiment the artic life 🤠
My next project is to go to North America in 2024 to achieve my dream : going hiking in Alaska !
Until then I will keep enjoying Europe, its cities, its beautiful countryside and of course its amazing people 😊

As a very curious guy I enjoy meeting new people and will be happy to learn from other's experiences and ways of life. For me that's what a big part of travelling by myself is about : people I meet 🙂

Thats's why I enjoy hanging up at the bar to hold long and deep conversations around a drink, sometimes until the sun comes up in the morning 😉 (sorry in advance...)

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I'm convinced that the best way to discover new places is to meet new and local people !

I'll be happy to share meals, drinks, laughs, stories, musics, books, activities (the list could be quite long 😉) with people that agree to host me 🙂 As an easy-going and flexible guy, I would also understand if that's not the spirit !

Algo increíble que he hecho

I've hitchhiked +2000km with 2 friends in Québec (Canada), sleeping in our tent in the wild and meeting wonderful people along the way 😎

Enseña, aprende, comparte

These are three important words in my vocabulary, particularly learning and sharing 😀

Things I would definitely want to learn or do :
- Sailing a boat, maybe to cross the Atlantic with an experienced captain ? 🤠
- Working as a bartender with a team of friends ✅️
- Learning spanish to be able to discover other countries
- Mountaineering (and not just hiking) and go to Himalaya or South America
- Saving the world, or at least be useful to people in need
- ... (to be continued thanks to the inspiration I find in people I meet 🙂)

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

I always enjoy a good laugh or sharing stories with people I meet ! Here are some experiences that could define me in a way and that I'd be happy to share :
🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿/🇸🇪/🇸🇯 Help exchange in Scotland, Sweden and Norway doing what I can to help : timberframing, gardening, cutting trees, picking up fruits...
🍻 Bartending in one of the most northern town in the wolrd
🎵 Organisation of a music festival with friends
🏫 Private and collective lessons for troubled high school students and migrants wanting to learn french
🥾 Hiking alone in full autonomy through Hardangervidda mountains in Norway
🚗 Hitchiking and camping into the Norwegian fjords
⛪️ Living 2 years in an abbey (but not as a monk) from the middle-age, labelled as historic monument of France

Also, though I don't have any particular skills, I'll be glad to help in any way you see fit 🙂
