About Me

As a society, we all travel the globe for some reasons. To feel alive, to escape from the routine or to immerse into a culture so unlike our own, we find new understanding and meaning in this world.
At some point, I am always going back to my roots, I revisit memories and I value things around me.

Once again, I left my beloved French Alps, my beloved Mountains, my beloved Family and Friends, to explore, to grow, to understand and to learn as much as I can.

To me, life is about taking delight in simple things as meeting friends all over the world, sharing a drink/meal, feeling the sun, the rain, the snow, swimming in beautiful spots, enjoy being next to the fire place when snowing outside, a good day skiing or hiking and so on. I really love to be outdoor!
I love meeting people, sharing our stories, being united, and discovering countries, cultures and local tips around here.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on couchsurfing because I think this is the best way to meet locals and discover the area, to be at home even if I'll be billion miles away from it.
I don't want to be alone in my room with my lonely planet guide and plan what I'll do tomorrow (even if I'll be in this situation once or twice yeh).
I want to know who's living on the same planet as me 👋🏼

I am now an active surfer but will definitely be a dedicated host once back home.
And I truly hope to offer the amazing hosts I had the same favor.

Music, Movies, and Books

🎶 Roots/Reggae/Dub Music, Folk, Jazz/Blues and Rock.
Basically everything that still has a real message and not just "sounds".
Most of my favourite artists passed away, I guess it's the reason why I can't find myself in today's music industry.

📽 French Cinema (comedy-drama), Series (Dexter, Peaky Blinders, Narcos, Breaking Bad, Black Mirror, Orange is the New Black, Las Chicas del Cable), Documentary

📚 Self-help books / Philosophy books / Travel books / Biography / Thrillers
I do believe something magical can happen when you read a good book.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Finding myself fortunate and delighted with simple things

Done a 20'000km road trip around Southern Africa

Done 4000km on a Honda Win in Asia (yes I did believe that it was a reliable motorbike).

Done the 50km Santa Cruz Trek in Peru to the Punta Union 4750m above sea level

Done the 23km Rhino Peak Trek in the Drakensberg in South Africa 3066m above sea level

Teach, Learn, Share

EACH ONE TEACH ONE
EACH ONE REACH ONE

I trust we all have something to TEACH and undoubtedly all have something to LEARN.
And it only happens when we SHARE together.

What I Can Share with Hosts

As a surfer :
Good and positive vibration !!
With simple things as a good meal (I love cooking), a good night out, good conversation.
And I'm happy to help with anything !

As a host :
Well, obviously a place to stay and local tips.
I can provide ski/snowboard gear and improvise myself as a ski/snowboard instructor. I can show you my favorites hikes, with awesome viewpoints. I can share the wonderful nature that surronds us and show you how we enjoy it.
I would love to introduce you to my mountain life ! Do not worry, we truly know how to enjoy nightlife as well !
