CANNOT HOST TWO PEOPLE AT THE SAME TIME .

🚀 CURRENT MISSION
See as much of this planet as humanly possible 🌍✈️

👋 ABOUT ME
I'm Mathieu from Lille in the North of France –where the beer’s good and the people are chill 😄

My number one passion : Traveling

I’ve lived in:

🇬🇧 London
🇳🇿 New Zealand
🇹🇭 Thailand

Then landed in 🇪🇸 back in 2006 my sunny home base and launchpad for global adventures.

Languages are my secret weapon – I love learning them so I can chat with everyone, everywhere.

I'm a bundle of energy – the type who’s always planning the next trip while still on a trip. I’m all about sharing stories, local tips, and culture...

💡 Important note
I’m not a fan of robotic, copy-paste messages 🙅‍♂️
If you’ve actually read my profile, include the code word “happiness 😊” in your message so I know you’re real and awesome.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Thanks to Couchsurfing, I’ve met amazing people from all corners of the planet.

It's like collecting friendships instead of souvenir

Interests

I’m basically a professional wanderer – I love to travel, meet new people, share wild stories, and learn new skills.

If it involves sports, the beach, the mountains, or anything outdoors – count me in. Bonus points if there’s good food after and natural wine🍷

Music, Movies, and Books

🎬 MOVIES:
Tough one... there are way too many good ones. From cult classics to random documentaries.

🎵 MUSIC:
I’m into pretty much every kind of music – except maybe heavy metal.
Also... fun fact: I’m a DJ, mostly spinning deep house vibes. So if you hear smooth beats coming from a beach or rooftop there’s a good chance I’m somewhere behind the deck.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

🏝️ Survived 2 weeks on a desert island in Tonga – no Wi-Fi, no worries (yes, it was basically "Castaway" but with better snacks).

🏔️ Hiked up to Machu Picchu like a sweaty Incan explorer in Peru.

🥾 Did the Annapurna Sanctuary trek in Nepal – legs still haven’t forgiven me.

🐠 Chilled on the dreamy Perhentian Islands in Malaysia – where the sea looks like a screensaver.

🦧 Spotted wild orangutans in Indonesia – they stared into my soul.

💦 Swam in the crystal-clear waters of Bonito, Brazil – felt like I was in a nature documentary.

🌈 Got slightly lost (and found magic) in La Paz, Bolivia – where chaos meets charm.

🕉️ Discovered the chilled vibes of Gokarna, India – like Goa’s cooler, quieter cousin.

🌕 Danced under the full moon in Koh Phangan, Thailand.

🏞️ Explored Lake Toba in Sumatra – a volcanic lake inside a island.

🪂 Jumped out of a perfectly good plane over Lake Taupo, New Zealand

🌍 And let’s be honest… just life in general – every day’s an adventure.
