About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Constantly putting things into perspective and pushing myself further.

ABOUT ME

I was born and raised in the north of France and now live in Lille, a city with character—perfect for recharging, reflecting, and living fully.
Travel has shaped me: exploring Europe alone, crossing paths with inspiring people, and realizing how much humanity is both fragile and extraordinary.
I’m driven by curiosity and the pursuit of depth. Life is too short for the superficial.

PHILOSOPHY

Nothing should ever be taken for granted. Always strive to become a better version of yourself tomorrow than you were yesterday.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I’ve been on the road across Europe, hosted by generous people who left a mark on me. Now it’s my turn to open my home.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Life-changing encounters, unforgettable exchanges.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books, films, and music that challenge the mind or stir deep emotion always catch my attention.
I appreciate noir, mystery, drama, science-fiction, and works that push boundaries.

My playlist has been evolving for 15 years—every chapter of life has its soundtrack.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Best: Fallen in love.
Worst: Seen five years vanish in the blink of an eye.

Teach, Learn, Share

I enjoy sharing ideas, culture, and perspectives. I can teach French, exchange insights on history, psychology, or philosophy, and I also know my way around turntables.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Conversations that matter, knowledge of local history and hidden places, cooking (yes, even pasta), museums, walks, French lifestyle, and a part of my journey.
