◦ I’m living with a rather severe wanderlust for over a decade now. A life of wayfaring, seeking for authenticity and a better understanding of the world we live in. I was hosted by over a hundred locals around the world and hosted in Paris many travelers on various hosting platforms. I had so many amazing encounters and hope you might be the next.

◦ I reply to every single personalized message

🙋🏼‍♂️ I'm fascinated by humans and the world we live in. For the past decade or so I spent most of my life abroad and I try to host when home. Although the distinction between abroad and home is getting increasingly blurry…

🚴‍♂️ I have traveled solo across several continents by bicycle in the past few years. It has been the ultimate solution to do what I love in a sustainable, affordable and healthy way. I hitchhiked and backpacked around the world quite extensively as well!

📲 Not active on major social media platforms, but I do share photos and trip updates on Polarsteps for anyone interested : https://www.polarsteps.com/ChainBreaker/17035531-breaking-my-chains-along-the-silk-road?s=0c1a75cc-5d32-4e9a-a963-9f6c9bdcc38e

💫 For the curious, the last photo on my profile is a list of memorable traveling moments ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love the spirit and the ideal it promotes. I've been a fairly active host and guest on Warmshowers, a similar platform targeting bike travelers (and slow travelers in a broader sense). My profile over there ➡️ https://www.warmshowers.org/user/264575
I find these hosting platform to be a true blessing of our digitalized era!

Some people actually read until the end? I do too!
Write the word “company” in your request so I’ll know
I’m in good company 😉
Did you know company literally means “sharing bread”? Like in the French word copain (friend) or compagnon (companion). Let’s break bread together my friend and learn from each other

Teach, Learn, Share
