About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Setting up my trip in South America

ABOUT ME

Bonjour, Hello, Buon Giorno, Buenos dias...

I'm a 27 year old guy, member of Servas and Joining CS to exeprience even more meeting in between travelers at home and on my trips.
I'm always trying to get in touch with the local population in my trip, for exemple using the local transports... That'zs the I have been trveling for ever, manly in the british isles, in the US, in Italy, and especially in New Zealand and Vietnam !

PHILOSOPHY

I'm not a lasy man, I live to live as many experiences (including travels) as possible. Even my job, consultant, brings me to discover many factories, many cultures, many industries, many poeple and many countries !
And above all, meet many poeple, and learn, take from many of them ; share with them a walk, a talk, an opinion...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm just joining CS, so I'm just discovering... I can't host in the period as i'm sent abroad for my job, but I hope I can meet couch surfers in Peru and Bolivia in August !

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Beginner
I've visit a couple of guy in Bolivia last summer. Nice experience obviously ;-)

Interests

Over all, I'm from Grenoble and love my mountains ! I enjoy it all year long, sking, cross-country skiing, trek-skiing, trekking, cycling...
As well, I play rugby for 20 years now, and any occasion to practice any sport is good to take !!
As many couchsurfers I guess, I'm a traveler, any holyday or week-end is sufficient to jump in a plane or a train or to hitch-ihke somewhere !

Music, Movies, and Books

Many movies : Ne le dis à Personne, Amélie Poulain, les enfants du marais, Pulp Fiction, Buena Vista Social Club, Harvey Milk, Into the Wild, Traffic, La chute, Carnet de voyage, ...
Too much music I love to make a choice... OK, let's tell Pink Floyd, Dire Strait, BVSC (see above...), Ben Harper, the Doors... French : Renaud, -M-, la Tordue...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In New Zealand, I travelled hitch hiking... Once, I even had a ride by a pilot with his plane !

Teach, Learn, Share

As a "CS student", I love any manual activities, especially outdoor. My studies and job don't offer me much occasions to practice manual activities, so any occasion for construction work, gardening, wood working.. is good to take, is good to learn !
As a "CS teacher", I can bring you in the Alps, even if I dont know much flowers or birds names... I can also explain you or bring you to watch some rugby...

Countries I’ve Visited

Fiji, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Malaysia, Netherlands, New Zealand, United Kingdom, United States, Viet Nam

Countries I’ve Lived In

France, Luxembourg, United Kingdom
