About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Discover as many places as I can all over the world

ABOUT ME

I would describe me as a friendly person who wants to discover more about other cultures ! I want to know and learn from everyone experience and i like to share my interests with other people. I would also say that i am quite generous with people i like. The only important thing is feeling that you are living !

PHILOSOPHY

The life is full of surprises. The thing is to benefit from in the place you are in, at the time it is. We should live just NOW !
I am still asking me why i am there, but i don't know so i am trying to just enjoy what i am living.

There are so many issues that are coming up in this century! i think that the major one is about the Earth's health. That's why I am trying to involve myself in developing new models for our territories.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I heard of this community from a friend and i immediately signed in on the website as i found it was a really awesome concept ! I have experienced that it is as a really good way to travel and make friends around the world.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I first travelled for some weeks in Canada with CS and i had the opportunity to stay with very different people. Since then, I have tried to host whenever I had a decent place to offer for any traveller. And I surfed many other places in the world !

Interests

Playing chess, cinema, talking with people, all kind of music...
I am also interested in energy and environmental issues, economics and international development.

I like to do all kind of sports and most of the outdoor activities. I like to be lost in nature and to go by myself just with my backpack.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Riding a camel in the Thar Desert (Rajasthan, India). That was a really fun experience but what I enjoyed the most was sleeping under the stars at night time !! The clearest sky I have ever seen in my life !! I did not want to fall asleep ...

Set a tent on snow cover and sleep in the tent by - 10 degrees outside ! That was a crazy experience ! If it happens to you once, make sure to put some towels under your body otherwise you will get wet due to snow melting>

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to learn playing chess to people.
And i also like to share about their personal philosophy on life, on how they built it from their personal experiences.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer you a double bed in the living room. The living room in my appartment is quite big and you can have a kind of hidden place for you.

Depending on the period you will be surfing, I can show you around in the city center, we can get a beer or even explore the surroundings of Reims...
