About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy every minute of my life

ABOUT ME

My feet on the ground and my head in the sky.
I'm an easy going French guy who doesn't take life too seriously.
I love travelling, and try new places, meet new people, learn from them.
I like the idea of travelling all around the world and feel home wherever I am.

I can be very quiet and silent, get to bed with a nice herbal tea and a book at 21h. Or I can be up for the whole night, feeling the moment and burning the dance floor !

Some times a bit of a dreamer, it's the little details in life that will make me smile.
I like people who loves animals, and won't be afraid to go and play with them like little kids.
I like to look straight into a cat's eyes, for a long time, and try to talk with him.
Walking in a pitch black street in the middle of the night with my eyes closed, and try to walk as long as possible..

"Smiles" are my energy, and I'm recharging my batteries with people smiling around me. As long as someone can give you a true, sincere, and absolutely free smile, then all's good ...

I'd like to meet You !! ^^
And be aware ! I'm very tall ! :p

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When I host people, I try to make them feel they're at home.
And When people host me, I bring some happiness, a couple of beer or a good bottle of wine ;)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

How to say... It is never ending, since 2007 when I joined, I just kept on meeting amazing people, every single time ! Giving me the chance to meet very close friends.
And it is not about to end !! ;p

Interests

Learn from the world and its residents.

I love sailing, and I'd like to make my life working around that.
I surf, snorkel and swim a lot. And I usually try to stay by the Ocean.
I'm found of art, painting, drawing and photography, and I'm a languages lover ^^

I wish one day to be able to fly on my own

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Navigate between Gibraltar and the Canary Islands, accompanied by whales.

Make loops in a tiny 50 years old be-plan in the Australian sky.

Try to teach English to 15 years old Chinese kids in a middle school lost in the country side of Hunan Province, they were 70 in the classroom so it was quite a challenge !

Tuk-Tuk ride at 3am in the Sri-Lankan jungle... absolutely pitch-black... WOW ! That upset elephant really wanted to crush us ! Scary ! ^^

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you French of course ^^ and English, and a bit of Spanish as well !
I still got a lot to learn in Mandarin, so I might need a bit of help in that

What about French cuisine... I can teach you that !
I love cooking so I'll be happy to see and learn the way you cook :D
