About Me

I am a 26 years old French guy.
I have been travelling around the world for a year before settling down in Paris in 2017.

I am accepting guess in paris. 2 people max but you can ask for more. Check my profile and my house description.

My travel story : After discovering a passion for hiking in france, I decided to go to new-zealand at the end of my studies. I did visit the main european capital, but New-Zealand was my first long travel (7 month). I discover a passion for travelling and now I am planing on going around the world for the next 7 month. Starting with China in June 2016. I travelled China for two month. Then I stayed in North Thailand for a few months then... i am too lazy to write down everything;-)

My both passion are motor bike (Harley-Davidson) and hiking. I enjoy speaking about travel and place to see. I have interest in psychologie and human ressources as per my studies. I like sports, martial art, tennis, squash, horse riding, running, but also discovering new sport. I am easy going. I like reading and art even tho my knowledge on this subject is small.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

During my travel in New-Zealand I heard about this amazing website who can allow me to talk with local who have interest on helping each other. In first I see myself as a guest.
So I am on Couchsurfing to meet people either for five minutes or a couple of days, use their couch sometimes and also to have some advice sometimes as I understand we can also use this function.
I have been in many different accommodation from hotel to campsite including cars and mountain hut. Every single one was a full experience and I am looking forward to have a good couch surfing experience.

Interests

As I said in the case: ''about me'' my passion are hiking and motor biking. I can probably say travelling also.
I have interest in psychologie, human ressources, cinema (from the director point of view), art, reading and sport (I never say no to some physical exercice).
What I have experienced so far with the people I met is my experience is more interesting with others' opinion. What I know is nothing compare to the knowledge of all the person I met. So I am really happy to share opinion, learn different way to see things. In one word, I have interest in meeting other people and learn about themselves.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like classic hip-hop music (2-pac, eminem, Ice cube, Dr. Dree...), electronic music, and old school Rock music as Eddie Vedder. But I think music depends on the condition of a specific moment.

Movies... there is so many movies I like in a different way. According my interest for cinema I like watching the main box office movies with the director's comments. And the movies I like are those difficult to put in categories as : Into the wild (story of a traveller), In bruges (English humour), The butterfly effect (movie speaking about the consequence of each action), The Great gatsby (Leonardo di Caprio is trying to change the past to reconquer his former love).

I don't read a lot of roman, I prefer books speaking about art or psychologie as : ''Gods always travels incognito'' from Laurent Gounell. One book who change the way I see things is ''the easy way to quit smoking'' from Allen Carr's. This book didn't only make me quitting cigarets, it also changed my perspective on how I see challenges. On other book I found full of inspiration is ''the power of the present moment'' from Eckhart Tolle.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

On November 2015, the third I left home to travel 12 month. I ended up travelling 14 months. Everything ever since was an amazing experience for me.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share my travel experience, and help with french adminsitration from a business or a tourist point of view.
As I said in my interest, I would like to learn to know the people I am lucky enough to met.
I have in mind to learn how to write or at least improve my writing skills.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share some french specialities food or good advice on wine. But my skills on this subject are limited, what I can definitively share with hosts are a good intention as a small present or a bottle of wine.
