My name is Arnaud and I grew up in France. I started traveling and working abroad 10 years ago and I think my feet will always be itchy at some point. I did a few travels and I like them all but the one that took me further is a one year travel through the Andes on a bicycle.

I'd like to live in California some day.
I love speaking spanish, playing the guitar with friends, filming, surfing, taking a plane or a train.

I develop some creative skills and I do freelance video editing

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is one of the greatest connecting tool for travellers.
The groups are great. My favorite is "couch sailing international" : you can find a boat to volunteer on a boat on it.
