Hey everyone 😊

I'm a 25-year-old guy who really enjoys taking all sorts of trains to all kind of new places, and getting to know the people that make them special!

I’ve lived in 5 to 6 different cities over the last 2 years, and after finishing my studies, I’ve embarked on a civic services with the French State abroad in Germany in field of renewable energy.

I love running, biking, contemporary museums, old indie cinemas, concerts, trying out veggie restaurants! And I keep combining all of that wherever I go! I’ve been visiting the North of Italy, towns in Slovenia, Austria, Germany, Finland, Sweden, Scotland and England lately, together with a few mountains, and I loved every piece of them.

What else, I always carry a book in my tote-bag. In the past years, I’ve volunteered with several association to promote sustainable development or female-male equality! I speak French, English and German. I’ve been doing a few Spanish exercices on Duo Linguo but it was a fail haha 🤹

By the way: ChatGPT didn’t take part in this bio, it’s all by hand haha

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

In 2023 a friend of mine told me about her experiences on couchsurfing and I really liked what I heard! Since then, I've "surfed" a few times it was a great experience. My host was very welcoming and we had really good conversations. To me, couchsurfing is about meeting other travelers and sharing stories!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once participated in a 3 day team trail running competition in the French Alps. Throughout the day, we would have 2 to 3 races, with meals and massages in between. After the races, we would relax and cool down our legs in some cold crystal clear mountain rivers. Then we would build our tents and fall asleep almost instantly! Gazing at these amazing landscapes while doing such an intense effort together with my teammates was so nice!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you a few words in French or in German, and also tell you about some nice spots to be seen in France! Should wou plan a trip to Germany, I would also have some nice tips to share! Of course, I'd be happy to cook crepes from my natal region (Bretagne)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Tips about the city or the region, advice on restaurants or bars, and perhaps a cheerful moment if we have the opportunity to do so! Of course, happy to help with French if wished, and to cook together too!
