About Me

I love meeting new people, connecting with them, and hearing about their adventures.
Of course, I’m passionate about traveling, discovering new landscapes and immersing myself in different cultures.

I’m also a big fan of tasting (and cooking!) delicious food and enjoying fine wine (probably because I’m French, haha).

If I’m not at home, you’ll likely find me hanging out with friends or enjoying the great outdoors in the surrounding mountains hiking, running, skiing, biking, or even rock climbing!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m currently planning a one-year around-the-world trip starting this summer, focusing on India, Southeast Asia, and South America. I’m excited to connect with and be part of the Couchsurfing community!

That’s why everyone is more than welcome to spend a few days at my place.

If you’re an experienced couchsurfer, I’d love to hear your stories and the amazing places you’ve seen and the incredible people you’ve met along the way.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite French music band is Dub Inc. If you don’t know them, let me translate some of their lyrics for you, I’m sure they’ll resonate with you. I also enjoy listening to house, techno, and trance music, especially during parties.

When it comes to books, I mostly read self-help authors like Tim Ferriss, Mark Manson, and David Goggins, but I occasionally enjoy fiction by writers such as Robert Merle, René Barjavel, and J.R.R. Tolkien.

I’m a big fan of animated movies like Inside Out, Wall-E, and Toy Story. That said, I watch a lot of different genres, so I’m always up for something new.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I bought a vintage 1980s Renault 4L, restored it, and joined a race with a friend, traveling from France to the Moroccan desert alongside 800 other participants. It was an incredible adventure!

I also had the unforgettable experience of a zero-gravity flight with the renowned French astronaut Thomas Pesquet.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I’d be more than happy to cook you a delicious French dish!
I’m always up for visiting new places, hiking to enjoy beautiful landscapes, and meeting your friends or family.
I also love playing board games, especially chess!
