ABOUT ME

I'm 31, I am working as a journalist for a local newspaper in the North-East of France, not the place you dream of. Sometimes I need to get away from here, but I love when people come to visit.

I use to study in UK and that was a great experience, I really enjoyed meeting a lot of people from different countries, and now I just want to travel again to keep on discovering new countries, new people, new ways to have fun; share my passions (football (soccer), drawing, hip hop music..) and know more about yours.

If I dont travel, It's a pleasure to host travellers !

PHILOSOPHY

"Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever"(Gandhi)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

People who live somewhere are better than tourist guide !

And, in this word, I love the fact that some people keep on trusting each other, opening their doors to somebody they dont know, considering that we all good people and that nothing wrong is going to happen

I host the few people who stop by the small town where I live.
