I would describe myself as independent, open-minded, and enthusiastic. I’m interested in alternative ways of living, including ideas around degrowth and simpler lifestyles. I enjoy questioning how we live and exploring more sustainable and meaningful ways to organize our lives.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I recently started traveling by bike and really enjoy this slow and simple way of discovering places. Couchsurfing feels like a natural part of this kind of journey. I enjoy meeting new people, exchanging stories, and connecting with open-minded travelers along the way.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveling from Avignon to Ho Chi Minh City without flying. The journey starts by crossing Europe, then taking the Trans-Siberian Railway from Saint Petersburg to Ulan-Ude in the middle of winter. From there, continuing through Mongolia and China on my own, before finishing with a motorcycle journey across Vietnam from north to south.

Teach, Learn, Share

I’m always happy to learn new things. Most of all, I enjoy spending time with people and exchanging experiences and perspectives.

Countries I’ve Lived In

Australia, Canada, France, Indonesia, South Africa, United Arab Emirates
