About Me

Born and raised near Lyon in the East of France, I've spend the past 5 years living abroad.

I value goodwill exchange like wwoofing, couchsurfing, hitchhiking...

I'm a bit chaotic and I pursue a broad variety of quite unrealistic goals. I'll be planning something for the future, unplanning it, moving it and doing something completely different at the end. For that reason I tend to be a last minute person but it seems to work out so far.

For the last 3 years, I had stopped traveling around for work reasons, and now I've found a way to mix work and traveling ( fingers crossed), so I'm back at it :)

Philosophy : Who Dares Wins ( because more often than not, things work out in the end)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like the moral contract that links the host and the traveler : a couch for a story, a beer and a smile sort of thing. It brings back a sense of kinship that I thought had been lost in the modern world.

So far I've hosted and been hosted through couchsurfing in Vancouver and I've couchsurfed in Europe and America. I've met some of my best friends through couchsurfing, it's a world on it's own, I miss it when I don't travel that way.

Interests

I like genuine people, so I can hear differing opinions.
On the other hand I love stories, even if they are not true.
I try to be in nature as much as possible.
I'm passionate about entrepreneurship and creativity, especially mixed together.

Nothing is better than a good old argument in a dark pub of Dublin with a glass of fine whisky.
