Hi everybody,
After my studies, I decided to take a break of about a year and a half to backpack around the world. I am not fleeing away from anything as I really love my family, my friends, my opportunities and my life but I have dreamt about this trip for so long and now is my chance. Depending on when and where you are, I hope to have the pleasure of meeting you!
Cheers,
Francois

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have always loved travels. Sure I love sceneries and natural diverse landscapes but the thing I am mostly looking for while traveling is meeting people, exchanging and discovering local culture.

I'll spend a lot of my travel time camping cause I love harsh conditions, pure natural landscapes and the freedom it gives but I am not forgetting that I am also traveling the world to meet people and couch-surfing seems a great way to do so while taking a shower from time to time :).

I am on Couchsurfing to take that shower, meet interesting and welcoming people but above all to discover new places through their eyes and habits.

Last but not least, I am on Couchsurfing with the hope to host great people when I get back.

I believe these Couchsurfing experiences are gonna be awesome and I am really excited to get started!

Interests

Driven by curiosity, I am interested in every new experience and new encounter. I like to wander in a new city, discover culinary specialties, party hard and learn. I love outdoors sports such as mountaineering, kitesurfing but also hiking.

In addition to travels, sports, food and culture, I'd say I am interested in everything someone is eager to passionately share with me.

Music, Movies, and Books

I never recall artist's names but I like a wide variety of music. Currently I mostly listen endlessly to "the sound you need" on youtube.

I used to read a lot more when I was younger and some of my favorites books remain Agatha Christie's thrillers.

In terms of movies, I am pretty open but I mostly like thrillers (Usual suspects, Seven, House of Cards,...) and romances.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A 5 days treks with 2 local guides in the deep equatorial forest of Cameroon to find wild gorillas. Very intense experience.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach how to tackle in rugby, pretty useful
