About Me

Try to be positive and discover the world and differences.

Traveled around the world on my own for one year from 2015 to 2016, mostly across South America and Oceania. Used to travel for years before and i can't stop this need!

Back in Geneva, i'm ready to host wanting to share with others while i can't travel :-D.

Have a lot of interests from... observation (without analysis ;o)), trying to take time and develop more consciousness... to traveling, losing myself in Iceland (already been 11 times) and remote places, listening music, attending concerts, sports & cultural events, going out, hiking etc. etc.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet people from other places and share some life moments.
Some (fun) experiences with locals in Sydney, on the road to Washington, in Lima, Iceland, Israel or Oceania for example.
I see couchsurfing like a great opportunity to learn some new things, meeting new people, appreciating other way of thinking and doing, sharing and helping. Thing done officialy for the first time in Oslo in November 2015 but want to try more.

Ready to host now even with lot of work at home.
