I'm a curious guy, over-enthusiastic about lots of things.
People say that I'm easy-going, patient, positive and joyful.
Actually, it's more about laziness, naivety and a not-that-smart simple mind !
In my professionnal life, I'm a graphic designer and an illustrator (but not a very good one I'm afraid !). I'm working mostly for environmental organizations.
I'm 25, I grew up in small mountains in north-eastern France but I've been lately travelling a bit. Now, I'm about to start a trip accross America.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing because, for me, travelling is not a consumerist way to live fake exoticism abroad, it's about entering different cultures, learning other ways of thinking, living surprising and meaningfull experiences... and the only way to do it is to meet people, different persons all around the world. I'm looking for nice encounters, friendly discussions, tips and avices, and not especially an accomodation.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A pagan bapticism, or a scientific expedition within a amazonian natural reserve ?

Teach, Learn, Share

I dream about learning Italian, Finnish and Russian languages, learning how to grow a garden, build an ecological house, drive a horse-pulled carriage and sew clothes, how to play accordion... And I'm always willing to discover lots of different cultures and ways of thinking !

What I Can Share with Hosts

If, by any chance, somebody is interested in, I can share some illustration, graphic-design, web-integration and video editing knowledge. But I imagine that my cooking skills, the few stories I can tell and my attentive listening will have more success !
