About Me

Hello there!

I've never been fond of this "about me" thing, so I'll make it quick, and you'll have to feel free to ask anything you want if we are to meet eventually :)

I'm a 31 French guy who quite recently decided to leave everything behind and try to figure out what I should be doing with the rest of my life - since I read carefully about global warming and other nice stuff that are coming our way...

And to help me with this search for meaning, I decided to start with some sort of initiatory journey in Ireland, where I hope we might meet and share our hopes, thoughts and dreams:)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Newcomer here (2022/04) as I'm planning a long (backpacking) trip in Ireland this spring!
I really intend to travel in a different way, more slowly, enjoying every bit of the trip and not just with one destination in mind!
I also hope to meet local, kind and genuine people along the way, to make of this trip something bigger and really worth remembering!

And after that, I fully intend to host people at my place, as soon as I'll be settled in my future life :)
