Hey!

My name is Anthony, I'm a French guy who lives now in Madrid, ordinary from the French Riviera (around Nice / Cannes).
I love to travel, I had the chance to travel a lot these last years.
Meeting people from all around the world, discovering new cultures and new places is for me an incredible chance!

I work as Engineer in Computer Science, I worked as Software Developer for 2 years. I'm now a trainer/coach for a big international IT company.

Otherwise I'm totally addicted to ski (I lived 10 years near a ski station). I practice scuba diving and snorkeling a lot during summer. Born in the mountain I love spending time outside doing outdoor activities.

I like to hangout, especially in Irish pubs (love rock music).

Can't wait to meet new people!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet new people and discover their countries/cities from their point of view. I like to think i'm an open minded guy and I love to see other things than the most touristic places.

For me, Couchsurfing is really about sharing with people. It's incredible how much you can learn from others if you are friendly and open minded, thanks to CS I can make friends all around the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveled in 30 countries

I survived alone in Kyoto without map or phone :D
Survived when I took a rickshaw in India: it was raining, by night, the guy drove in the wrong side of the road without any lights!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can talk about traveling for hours. When I travel, I want to discover the culture, the history of the country, taste local food, specialties and meet local people!

If you have any question about the places I've been do not hesitate!
