Hey fellow travelers! I'm Clovis, a curious and adventurous soul always eager to explore the world through meaningful encounters. Passionate about photography, cinema, intercultural exchanges, and sports (especially hiking and MMA!), I deeply value authentic conversations and shared experiences. Whether it’s cooking together, enjoying deep philosophical discussions, or spontaneously joining local adventures, I'm all about building genuine connections wherever I go. I’m sociable, calm, open-minded, and always up for something exciting. Let's create unforgettable memories!

I see the world as a vast treasure trove of cultures, and when I travel, I feel like a pirate sailing from shore to shore in search of stories, flavors, and human connections.
Culture is one of the few treasures that multiplies the more you share it. Every exchange, every conversation, every meal with someone new enriches both sides. That’s the magic I chase on every journey.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I use CouchSurfing not just as a place to stay, but mainly as a bridge to meet inspiring, dynamic, and culturally curious individuals. I'm particularly drawn to people who have fascinating stories to share, organize vibrant social events, and embody a thoughtful philosophy towards life. Always open for adventure! exactly what I'm looking to replicate everywhere I travel.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: I love movies that deeply move or provoke thought. Among my favorites are Finding Forrester, Delicatessen, Forrest Gump, Good Will Hunting, L'Auberge Espagnole, Les Poupées Russes, Dead Poets Society, The City of Lost Children, and the incredible Brazilian masterpiece City of God.
Each of these films has touched me in a unique way, shaping my perspective on life and culture.

Music: My musical taste is diverse and open to discoveries, spanning many genres and moods. But if I had to pick just one, I'd say my favorite is Ginkobiloba—their vibe always resonates deeply with me.

Books: I have a special affection for the works of Marcel Pagnol. His books beautifully capture the essence of southern France, so vividly described you can almost smell the lavender and feel the warmth of Provence through every page.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It's hard to highlight just one experience, as nearly every CouchSurfing encounter I've had has been genuinely exceptional. Through CouchSurfing, I've met amazing people whose stories, energy, and kindness have deeply inspired me. These interactions remind me exactly why I travel: to connect, learn, and feel fully alive.
