Please read this entire section as well as My Home section before making a request.

From the French Alps near Grenoble, living in Marseille since July 2023.

Don't hesitate to hit me up last-minute, also I don't mind copy-pasted messages, but please finish reading this as well as my Home description before. Don't worry I know what it's like, I've been there, I know the struggle. I don't guarantee I'll be able to help, but I'll try.

I am not a free hostel, I expect us to spend some time together if possible.

Request too far in the future will likely get a Maybe rather than a Yes. I'm a spontaneous guy, I don't plan too far ahead. Within a week is good. Couple of days ahead is ideal.

If you support what Russia is doing in Ukraine in any way, you are not welcome here.
If you support what Israel is doing in Gaza, you are also not welcome here.

If you are here for work or are planning to work remotely during your stay, please let me know in your request. If you are coming to Marseille to do sex work please do not send me a request.

Si vous êtes juste à Marseille pour un match de foot, prenez un hôtel. Sérieux.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Originally here because it was free, now I'm here because I had my best traveling experiences through Couchsurfing.
And hosting is always a refreshing way to break up the daily routine.

Interests

I like outdoor activities, hanging out with fun people, occasionally sharing a few beers.
I enjoy fixing things and understanding how they work, as well as understanding how the world works, so I definitely have a big interest for all science and engineering related topics. I'm also getting interested in local and international politics though I know pretty much nothing about it, but I'm a great listener.
I've been dancing quite a bit these last few years, mostly bachata and kizomba. I want to try Zouk, it looks amazing but I haven't taken the time for it yet.

Music, Movies, and Books

Everything that sounds ok will do. If I can dance on it, then it's even better! 🕺🏻💃🏼

Movie-wise I wholeheartedly recommend anyone to watch The Secret Life Of Walker Mitty. It seems like nobody knows about this movie but anyone I've ever shown it to absolutely loved it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Crossing Charles Bridge in Prague, Naked.
Mountain biking in Cappadocia!
Snorkeling in Croatia.
Winning a national Robotics competition.
Biking from Denmark back home to France.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach how to easily take care of your bike 😊
Bikes are super ingenious and underestimated vehicles but they need some love once in awhile to keep on working smoothly. It's not that hard! (But it does get your hands dirty...) And most basic maintenance can be done with basic tools and for very cheap.
I can also share some travel stories, hitchhiking stories, or random facts about the world that my brain stores for some reason.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Smiles, hugs, good mood :)
I have to say, very objectively and without being biased, that I'm usually fun to be around.
