nouveau sur Couchsurfing !

grand amateur de musique et cinéma (voir plus bas), je joue du gamelan (ensemble traditionnel d'Indonésie) dans mon temps libre et j'adore ça.

je compte parcourir un peu le pourtour méditerranéen cet été et rêve de voyager en Indonésie et dans le reste de l'Asie du Sud-Est à moyen terme.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

i'm here travel more spontaneously, plan less and above all meet new and diverse people from everywhere; that's what good travel memories are made of!

i'd be glad to host travellers in my flat 2 minutes from Paris.

je suis ici pour voyager de manière plus spontanée, sans tout prévoir à l'avance et surtout rencontrer des gens différents de partout dans le monde !

je serais également ravi d'accueillir des voyageur-se-s dans mon appart à 2 minutes de Paris
