Going up North to Tromso from Paris to enjoy the northern light, plan the next moves (cycling to Kyoto from there ?) and working as a guide in the middle of nowhere !

[END OF THE LAST LAST EDIT]

[LAST EDIT]

Travelling in New Zealand, walking the length of the archipelago from North to South following the Te Araroa Trail.

3000 km on 5 months of wild fun incoming :-D

I m realizing a map of wild edible NZ natives medicinal and edible plants that i share to everyone on my website (www.eat-the-road.com)

I love meeting new people to share about plants, life, yoga, happiness, and everything else :-D

[END OF THE LAST EDIT]

For now, working on AntarctIca and subpolarian topics for the French Southern Territories. Fun job, and sedentary for the moment on Saint Pierre !

[Old présentation] I m traveling by bike crossing France and maybe more. Studying edible plants, and enjoying meeting peoples !

Montpellier look like a great city.

If a CS could make me discover it, it could be great !

PHILOSOPHY

Don't think, do it !

If you think it will make you feel good do it !

Enjoy !

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I grew up in Paris suburbs, a beautiful place, close to forests and fields.

It's in the Val d'Oise, the region where many impresionist painters, like Van Gogh or Pissaro, came for the particular light.

And i ça host in Réunion Island, a volcanic island close to Madagascar where I live since 4 years now.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Many friends have been Surfers and Host.

I like the idea, and I like speak with travelers. It's always intersting to meet people who have a different way of seing place you already now.

I can also practice my english this way (o mi espanol)

Interests

I'm really into study of edible wilds plants. I worked in WWOOF and write an essay on economics potential of a permacultural farm.

I also dance Tango, play piano, practice mountain running, cook vegetarian...

Many differents things actually. For the moment I'm preparing a cyclo trip from Paris to Spain or more in total autonomy. (edit : i m still into now)

[NOW]

In Aotearoa, enjoying the wild side of the forest, trying new tasty plants :)

Tango is great !

Stars of the Lid also in a very different way.

Youtube unknow also, like the voice of Merival.

And Born Free from M.I.A in an other very different way.

Don't forget the PINK FLOYD !!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

If I'm grandfather one day, sure I will tell the day when grandpa Vincent was close to be eat by a bengal tiger in a Nepali National Park, but many more are even weirder !

I know also birds, animals, interesting books (at least enough interesting for reading a part) and good place in India !

I can share about wild edibles, weird story about how to spot animals in the wild, astrophotography tips, way of saving fruits and travel forever, or many other things.
