About Me

I am french and now living in São Paulo with my girlfriend where I work both as an architect engineer and as o jam maker, within the firm I opened in 2015. Yes, you may taste it if staying at my place!

I like to travel each time my work schedule allows it, especially in nature and wild places. These days I am trying to plan a bit more camping trips and retreats. São Paulo can be a harsh city to live in and it is easy to be "eating alive" by work if one doesn't take care.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I used to travel quite some times using this site back in the days when it was free and more people add access to it, each time it was great. I hosted a lot as well in the different places I lived, it is a nice way of continuing the travels even staying at home by meeting incredible people.

I live in a house with two bedrooms so it is easy to spare one and host people when needed.
IMPORTANT: I am hosting each time more with Airbnb as it is a way to increase a bit the income. I like to host on couchsurfing as well but when there is a lot of requests, I can only accept some of them here per month... If you have flexibility on this regard, let me know.

Teach, Learn, Share

I could definitely teach you how to make a "Quiche Lorraine" or fermented things! Or to play the guitar if you don't like to cook. I like boardgames quite a lot and have some at home if you like.
Could teach French langage and culture perhaps ? I don't know, am I typically french ?
I love to learn nearly anything new, coming from different cultures and habits is even better.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I share gladly a room with bed, blanket and sheets, and bathroom for shower.
Please be aware that you can also cook at home if you need and want, but it would be nice that you have your own main ingredients and food, both for meals ans breakfast... For people that stays various days, I more than like to share meals, so we can take turns in cooking and eating together with pleasure.
