About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy what the world has to offer!! Making as many amazing connections as possible with people from different walks of life.

ABOUT ME

Outgoing and free spirited.I love to experience new things and above all have adventures with the people I meet along the way. Life is about making those random connections with people that you may or may not ever see again.

I was originally born in Lyon, France but moved to California when I was 7 and have been there ever since. I grew up playing tennis and started jiu jitsu a little over a year ago. I have a passion for cooking and truly enjoy those random litlte moments that make you grow as a person.

About a year ago I decided that I was not happy with my current living situation, I was bored with work and got the travel bug. So I planned for an entire year and I am currently backpacking throughout the world to follow my passion for Brazilian jiu jitsu.

I have been traveling since December 27th, 2017 and continue to keep the party going until the end of the year. I finished the first 6 months by myself and now my girlfriend will be joining me on the last part of the journey.

PHILOSOPHY

Love to live, live to love. Really just go with the flow and see what life has to offer!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think the best way to learn and see the country you are visiting is by doing so with the locals. Traveling likewise gets a bit lonely so I am looking to make friends along the way an overall just explore. I view couchsurfing as a bunch of friends that I have not yet made.
