Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I’m here to meet amazing people, it’s the best way I think to discover a city, the daily life of people, culture, stories is by Couchsurfing, I want a true travel experience with you guys :) Couchsurfers help me so much during my trip, some even save my life! (no kidding). I want also help you out and be your friend :)
Music, Movies, and Books
Lot’s of comics, Movies : Into the wild, forest Gump, Gattaca, Amelie Poulain.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
My trip to China it was so amazing, i speak to all the people with no speaking just drawings and sign and try understand and connect with locals and it work! I made many friends without talking! My trip Asian trip in 2017 (18/01-31/07) was amazing and crazy i make so many friends, volunteer and couchsurf in many place, The craziest part was the part in Taiwan (i spent three month there i'm in love with this country) as i lived two month without money or credit card, teach in many schools from kindergarten to junior high, make friends and i catch a rare disease and i almost DIED!!! (couchsurfer save my life!)
What I Can Share With Hosts
We can share travel experience, play some board game, have fun, hang out in the city, take you to the market or festival where i do my portrait, i can give tips in drawing i guess :) If you are really interrested about education and you want to share your experience and your country with the kids you can share in the primary school i teach sometime :) It will be an amazing and fun experience i did this in taiwan and Japan i want you to experienced it as well ^^But, i need some time planning this so at least three or two weeks in advance...
My Interests
I have big dreams in my life : like publish comics for children or travel the world! I love making carnet de voyage of all the trip i made. I believed that anyone can travel even with no money! It’s been one year and a half that i lived only doing street performance or event doing portrait by doing that i realized that i can do that everywhere in the world and travel by just drawing people in exchange of food and services :) But most of all i believe drawings can connect people and if i can make smiles to people i draw it's the most important...
