About Me

I try to enjoy every moment, like to eat & drink well, to travel, to please and to be pleased, to do stupid things, to be useful, to develop myself...

In short: pretty crazy but rational, active but lazy, social but feeling fine alone too, engaged and concerned but putting things in perspective, prefering beer but liking wine even more, smoker but stopped smoking but still a smoker...

And of course: I'm a dedicated dad and husband.

You see?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Like most people I think? I surf on your couch and you surf on mine...You get to know better the places and people you visit, travelling this way.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE:
When I was travelling through France, suddenly a fantastic French guy asked me if I had a place to sleep yet. I said no. He said: you're welcome in my place. I staid for two days and we had a great time!
The next year he visited me at my place...And since then I've had great experiences in Europe and South-America with both my hosts and my guests.
