Fan de voyages, à pied, en vélo, en voilier, en van, en kayak...

I'm an adventurous and open minded traveler (well I guess!): I love to meet new people, to learn from them, their own culture and adventures, to share funny experiences with them, to explore the unknown.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This alternative way of travelling far from commercial system seems to me so natural and more human.
