CURRENT MISSION

Explore Addis Abeba from 22nd to 26th of December

ABOUT ME

My objective is to explore other cultures and their way of life, to meet interesting people, get close to nature, and exchange and learn about each others beautiful lives!

Ive spent most of the last 10 years abroad, either studying, travelling or working and I have to acknowledge I am slightly addicted to that lifestyle ;-) My current job - tour leader for an English company €œ took me to South America for the last 1.5 year and and I've just finished a Istanbul to Beijing 3-month journey.

My main hobbies are hiking, cooking, travelling. I love any sports, strategy games and Im recently getting into meditation and yoga. I speak French, English and Spanish and was a Helper in New Zealand in 2008-09, doing many different jobs among which gardening, farming, cooking...

Love some deep chats every now and then about meaning of live and other shit!
Be sure that Ill bring my big smile, humour and positive energy!

PHILOSOPHY

In 20 years time, you will regret more things you haven't done rather than things you have done.

No problems, only solutions ;-)

Life is not a rehearsal, it's the real deal!

Step by step...

Take your time, live slowly

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Been a surfer much more than a host to be honest... blame my nomadic lifestyle!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had one CS experience in New Zealand and another one in Bristol, England.
Some more stays in my home country where I met some lovely lovely people.
Very sweet people, which makes me want to explore CS world more

Interests

I love meeting people, travelling, trekking, sports, nature, cooking and recently started practicing yoga and meditating.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I love reggae and I also listen to dub, electro, funk. I focus more on the beats than the lyrics and love dancing on musics I really like.
Books and movies: I never remember about titles of books and movies, but I like things that teach you something concrete, useful for your life.
I love small productions, independant films, documentaries.
I love stuff about travels and adventures like "Into the wild". Lately, I'm quite into writing as well, about my experiences and also a few poems... just trying!!
I do enjoy reading stuff whilst travelling that teach me more about areas I explore: shamanism in South America, Silk route, yoga in India...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I sky-dived once and will do it again.
I hitch hiked through New Zealand during 5 months and flew twice in a glider there.
Ayahuasca ritual in Ecuador!!!

Teach, Learn, Share

I love cooking, especially for a long time, with friends, drinking something.
I speak french (mother tongue) + fluent spanish and english: I will be glad to speak them with you or learn more from you.
I love wandering in lost destinations with friends, or on my own, sleeping in a tent, cooking my own food: be free!
I would love to learn playing percussions (djembe) better and any music instrument + want to learn more about yoga and meditation.
