Helloooo !

I am a french photographer living and working in Lyon, France.

I am very curious and love to meet and talk with people. I can spend a whole day by myself reading and contemplating, just like I can spend a whole day with people doing many activities, eating good food, drinking and telling stories.
I live in a flatshare with 5 other people. We spend time with each others every day over a meal, a movie or a party. We cook, laugh, dance and make memories as much as possible.

10 years ago, I traveled alone one year in Australia, 2 months in South Africa and 1 year on the spanish frontier in the beautiful pyrenees.
After 6 years without much traveling, I spent a month in Morocco last year.
The challenge this year was 2 months. And I went to Kenya.

Worked for an NGO and discovered the country amazingly with locals.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on Couchsurfing to meet people and experience the cities I'll be visiting with locals living there.

I realised a long time ago (during my trip in South Africa really) that it isn't the sightseeing, the hostels or the restaurants that make a trip memorable, but the people I share these activites with.

I am genuinely interested in people and their unique way to see the world. And I am sure that I could get to meet great people with Couchsurfing

Interests

I love people, good food (eating and cooking it), music (in my headset and festivals), content creation, personal development and mindfulness, yoga, climbing, riding my motorbike in the country side, and many many others things.

I read a lot about personal development because I love reading about what people went through, what lessons they learned and felt like sharing with the world (enough to write a book about it). It can be about any topics: health, mindfulness, productivity, finance, travel, creativity, etc.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to electronic music mostly, but I like any kind of music.

Movies, I love thrillers with incredible characters live Scorsese, Tarantino and Guy Ritchie movies. But like with music, I love watching any style of movies (comedy, romantic, drame, etc.)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I lived on a ranch for 3 months in outback Australia, where I was waking up at 5 to feed the horses, sheeps, pigs, etc. The owner was one of the best horseman in the country and I got to witness him (and photograph him) working his magic on young colts.
It was tough work, but it was an incredible experience to live their life for 3 months.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you about photography or personal development books

I'd love to learn your favorite recipe !

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'd love to share stories and experiences. Get to discover their way of living, their culture, their perspective on life.

What do you do when you go out ? when you stay in ? what would you absolutely recommend me to do or see in your city ?
