About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To visit every single country in the world
To learn how to couch surf and meet new people

ABOUT ME

I have been growing up in France/Luxembourg/and England (sadly you won't hear it). Dynamic and adventurous, I am always on the move, trying new sports or activities.

I ran a start up for two years in FinTech and EdTech (which didn't make me the new Elon Musk as you see) and now work in business consulting in London (but really planning my next trip away).

Get in touch if you're keen on having a chat over mate / aged rum / beer /wine / smoothie / popsicle

PHILOSOPHY

Aspire to inspire before you expire
Experience is a truer guide than the words of others

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To get to know and meet people in their local surroundings, to be part of a community of like-minded people embracing travels and the sharing economy

Interests

(Obv) travelling, kite surfing, diving, sailing, biking (just got my motorcycle license), humour, learning useful skills (cooking is on my bucket list), and having a decent meal or beer with friends.
I have done backpacking in many countries including Madagascar, Indonesia, Peru, Bolivia, Brasil, Argentina, and Newcastle.
