Hi everyone!
I’m a simple, easygoing, and sociable guy from France who loves meeting people from all over the world. I had my very first Couchsurfing experience in New Zealand—it was amazing! Since then, I’ve continued using it in Indonesia, Malaysia, and many other places during my three-year trip around the world.

So far, I’ve visited 50 countries, and every one of them has taught me something new. I really enjoy cultural exchange, deep conversations, and sharing stories from my journey.

I believe in living fully, loving deeply, laughing often, and staying happy—no matter where life takes you.

If you’re learning French, I’d be happy to help you practice! And if you’re just up for some good vibes and travel talks, I’m always in.

Feel free to check me on Instagram too!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m here to connect with amazing people from all over the world. After traveling for three years and meeting so many wonderful individuals, I realized that the best experiences come from sharing stories, cultures, and good vibes. Couchsurfing is the perfect platform to do just that—whether it’s exploring a new city, learning about different ways of life, or simply having a chat over a cup of coffee. I believe that true connections are made when we open our hearts and minds to others.

First COUCHSURFING EXPÉRIENCE

It was my first time using Couchsurfing, and I stayed at Brenn’s house in New Zealand. It was just mind-blowing! I had an amazing time, and the experience truly opened my eyes to how beautiful Couchsurfing can be. I met some incredible people, shared stories, and felt so welcomed. It was a memorable start to my travels, and I’m still in contact with Brenn to this day!

Interests

I love going to restaurants, bars, watching movies, and spending time at the beach. I’m all about the simple things that make life fun and relaxed. I enjoy chilling out, having conversations, and sharing experiences from our travels. Whether it’s discovering new places to eat or just talking about life and adventures, I’m always up for it.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy all kinds of music—it really doesn’t matter to me. If it feels good, I’ll listen to it!

When it comes to movies, I love fiction, horror, comedy, romance, and action—basically anything that entertains or makes me feel something.

I’m not a big reader, but once in a while, when I find a novel that grabs me, I go all in and enjoy the journey.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Lived in a tent for several weeks with people from different nationalities—no matter their religion, skin color, or sexuality. It was one of the most beautiful and human experiences of my life. We shared food, stories, and laughs under the same sky. I also met awesome people in Surfers Paradise and throughout my whole trip—proof that the world is full of kindness and connection if your heart is open.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you French if you’re interested in learning the language! I’m always happy to share tips, expressions, or even help you with pronunciation.
I also love sharing my travel stories—after visiting 50 countries, I have plenty of experiences to talk about, from funny moments to cultural lessons.

I’m eager to learn about your culture, language, and any new skills you might want to share. Whether it’s cooking a local dish or discovering a new way to see the world, I’m all about learning and growing with others.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good vibes, great conversations, and lots of stories from my three years of traveling through 50 countries!
I love to connect with people, cook together, or simply share a walk and chat about life. I’m always happy to help with French if you’re learning, and I’m curious to learn from your culture too.

I don’t need much—just kindness, a bit of space, and a good human connection.
