About Me

CURRENT MISSION

meet friends / be a better traveller

ABOUT ME

I'm a cocktail of energy and good mood by nature, best served chilled, but mixable at every temperature at any place.. :)
I'm fond of traveling and discovering people; being friendly AND easy going all the time !!!
I grew up in a multi cultural environment, learning from childhood about lots of different cultures.
Avoiding being serious all the time, I'm still a versatile guy !!!

Family, friends, laughing, running, weekend trips, cupcakes, reading, movies, hiking, the outdoors, holidays, cooking, eating, Megastructures, cycling, making the most out of life.....

My little dark-sides : I like comfortable and clean places, good food and cool music.
My Darkest side : I DON'T HOST FOR ONLY ONE NIGHT as I want to share with you and learn a bit about you. I want remember you!

PHILOSOPHY

"Don't do to others what you don't want others do to you"
This means a LOT to me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I am part of a global team, creating "A world where everyone can explore and create meaningful connections with the people and places they encounter."

Teach, Learn, Share

★★TEACH★★: some recipes from reunion island and I am eager to learn new languages and I'm trying to get better in Spanish and German.

★★LEARN★★ : I always enjoy to learn how to cook new stuff to eat. In fact eating is my second top priority.
You can learn Code poetry (html basic, sql, vb) and linux loving (Knowledge on leadings linux distributions).

★★SHARE★★ : I can party with you in Lyon, my top best value restaurants, my couch, many things in fact...but NOT my toothbrush.
