About Me

Hey everybody :)
I'm Axel, an art and law student. I decided to take a break from my studies to focus on more important things. I spend most of my time travelling, try to writing good stuffs and working on some photography exhibition project.
If I have to describe myself in few words, i think i would notice that i really try to be a good people, to elevate myself with art and specific experiment, and i love to discover people by sharing with them some food or some drink.
Also, great project, animals, good books and cactus make me happy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Last year, I decided to travel for 8 month between India, Nepal and South Eastern Asia. Sometimes it was rude but most of the time people were so nice with me and instantly propose me to host me : In India, in the same week, i've been host in a huge maharajah castle and 4 days after that i've been host in a slum where i lost myself. My trip was so great because of the people I met, so now i just want to help other people we don't have enough money to pay a super expensive price for a shitty hotel room and who want to discover what i know about my city.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Last years, i've been hit by a motorbike when i was walking on a jungle road. The driver didn't stop and let me alone and full of blood on the road. My leg was like twisted and so painfull so i had to use my elbow to drag my body to move. 2 days and half after the accident, i was finally accepted in the hospital and doctors say to me that it would probably be impossible for me to walk correctly before 4 month. I decide to put some leechs to suck the blood out of my leg to recover faster and 3 month after that i have been abble to cross the world highest pass with my walking stick (Thorung La Pass, in the Annapurnas). It was amazing

Teach, Learn, Share

I don't really pretend that i can teach you something : I can share with you some story i lived, some novel i red or others things i though, but i'm still kinda young so i have a lot of thing to discover. But if you interested, i have some good photography skills, i practice it since i'm 12 and i already organized exhibition, i could teach you some tricks about it
