About Me

Travelling, discovering and having fun, and I want to make the most of it before I get too young :)
I am an easy-going person (well, who would write he's hell living with, right?), I also like to draw, I am a self-made illustrator, and I am of course a big reader of webcomics.
Meeting people all around the world has been my awesomest experience until now, it's full of surprise, and it makes life worth living. Breaking the routine and facing the unknown, I guess that's the thing we are all looking for here. So yeah, I'm a normal person after all, but a good one I hope, and a bit of a dreamer.

PHILOSOPHY

"Doing instead of trying, coz trying is too hard"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I give back everything that has been given to me thanks to couchsurfing (in Australia and NYC mostly).

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have couchsurfed 8 times in Australia (Perth, Albany, Adelaide, Mount Gambier, Shepparton, Canberra and Cairns) and once in NYC. These experiences have been a real pleasure, I had a terrific time with my travel-friend and the hosts. It went amazingly well.

Interests

Webcomics, drawing, rollerblading, jogging, swimming, snorkelling, hiking, Sushi-train restaurants, taking photos, French baguette sandwich, cheap wine, picking pears for $5 an hour.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Getting up every morning to go to work in a supermarket.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach English and French and would enjoy being taught Spanish, Chinese or German for instance. I already speak Spanish somewhat but I would need to improve it big time !
I can show my drawing works and being taught drawing techniques.
I can teach basics of rollerblading and being taught even more.
I can teach basics of computing and being taught even EVEN more ! =)
I can swim, but I can be taught how to walk properly with high-heel shoes... =)
