About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Share my positive energy with travelers!

ABOUT ME

I'm really into travelling and having real long term living abroad experiences. I have been studying for a year at the University of California of Santa Cruz in California, working one year in Curitiba, Brazil, one year in Lima, Peru, 2 years in Campinas, Brazil and now in Mexico.

PHILOSOPHY

I do not pretend to be someone else, being natural is the best way to maintain a good atmoshpere with everyone. I love to listen to other people, there is always something interesting or unexpected to learn!

Note: in your couch request, please write “plop” in order to confirm you have read my profile :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

In France, I was living alone in my appartement, so I had the opportunity to host couchsurfers from all around the world.

Now in Mexico City I finally have my own appartment which is located between metro stations "Niñoes Heroes" and "Balderas", next to the center of the city and Roma/Condesa districts.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Craigslist in California may have been the starting point, meeting random people to sleep by while travelling with my roomate Juan. Since I am in Brazil, I am taking part to the "invasions" and visit cities with lots of CouchSurfers, which make the trip very funny... No time to rest! ;)

Interests

Discussing with people, sharing different points of view, living abroad, learning from people.
I love the field I am working in, really into new technologies.

Music, Movies, and Books

Musica latina

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I would say having climed 1200m with a mountain bike and really feel you deserve to sit and enjoy the view over the sea...

Teach, Learn, Share

I have lots of times taugh people how to use their computers and fix them. I have been learning a lot in human relations through listening to people.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am working during the week, however we can plan to have a walk in the evening to know some close areas.
