Hi everyone,
I am Nicolas, french, 31.
I temporary left my job to travel and see the world, from Patagonia to Siberia via north US national parks and japanese back country. The idea is to travel the "less flying" and go hiking and sharing my passion of outdoor activities with people all over the world.
I also love running (a good way to discover a new city) and karate (Japan, remember?).
I love music too and try as much as I can to go and see concert even when I'm far from home.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I mosltly stayed in hostels during the beginning of my trip in South America, a good way to meet other backpackers but no many local people...that's why I decided to be on couchsurfing : meet locals from the US, Japan and Russia who want to make discover their town and maybe practice their french or spanish !
Be a guide in my town Toulouse will be a pleasure as soon as I go back home in few months !
