About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Done studying. Time to travel for one year in Australia and South-East Asia.

ABOUT ME

I have been studying for eight years now and I feel like it's time to take a break before starting a real job. I, with my girlfriend, will be travelling around Australia and south-east Asia for a year. We have to the flight ticket to get there, but not the one to come back yet :)

PHILOSOPHY

High expectations make poor travel companions

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Like most people around here, I enjoy this rich way of travelling and meet people. I took a (too) long break with couchsurfing for my studies, although I have hosted and been hosted a few times.

Interests

The ocean, as investigation subject and sports! I love scubadiving and freediving. Actually just be in the water or on the water, sailing. But since i grew up in the mountains, I'm also quite (very) found of skiing.

Music, Movies, and Books

the Lord of the Rings, the books first, but the movies too! I listen almost all kinds of music, from rap to bolivian typical music! I just don't like metal, hard-rock and other hardcore stuff.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A 2 years journey on a sailing boat with my family in the ocean atlantic, from France to Brazil. It lets many amazing memories...

Teach, Learn, Share

I know quite many thing about mountains, skiing, sailing, oceans, marine biology, fishes, baby fishes, sponges (it's almost true), and other cool (or boring) stuff.

I have also been a scout for 12 years now (Eclaireurs de France) and I would be glad to make people change the stereotypes regarding scoutisme !!
