Dear travellers, I'll be travelling from the 16th of July to the end of August. I hope you'll find nice hosts and have a great time in Paris and in France! CURRENT MISSION Learning arabic! ABOUT ME I love to travel since I discovered it by myself in an improvised trip in Argentina-Paraguay-Brazil-Bolivia-Chile as backpacker, while studying in Mendoza, Argentina. I met plenty of people (locals and travelers), so it's naturally that I discovered a few months later Hospitality Club and CouchSurfing. I love any kind of activities I can do in the mountains. I feel really in peace with myself and the world being in a mountain forest. I discovered diving in 2013 and now look forward to my next dive! Love it! I enjoy reading a lot, play bass guitar and am an etcher. I'm hungry of understanding and discovering, and I'm the kind of person who likes to ask "why". I really prefer to go deeper in an answer than getting satisfied by any general idea or cliché... I really love speaking and learning languages: I've been learning Japanese and Italian, but my new objective is arabic, now! Very different, and so very interesting! ... And now for many things you should discover by yourself! ;) PHILOSOPHY L'omnipotence du présent annihile le passé et transcende le futur. "There are no strangers: just friends I've not met yet." "Oh j'ai jamais pu oublier L'odeur des endroits où j'irai C'est seulement une question de moeurs J'veux toujours être ailleurs" - Noir Désir My goal is to live by my own business and to make a two years world trip. Step by step, I'm building my way.

我为什么使用Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I'm participating as a guest as well as a host for everybody. I like to share about travels and cultures. My work makes me travel a lot, so I always try to meet local people for a drink. I have been implying myself a lot into meetings in Madrid and so on, but lately I got kind of bored and disappointed about how things turned into... COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I'm in the Hospitality Club and BeWelcome communities too.

教学、学习、分享
I want to teach, learn and share about languages: I'm studying Arabic, have been studiing Japanese and Italian, so guests from these countries will have a special attention ;) I also am totally up for teaching you French or Spanish. I'm always looking for the origin of everything: very interested in history and etymology. I'm looking for a Polish person to translate a letter a CouchSurfer let me one day :)
我的兴趣
I'm especially interested in meeting persons from countries I don't know yet, speaking other languages, learn about cultural, politic, social facts, etc. I'm not a big sports fanatic, but I really love two: 1. rugby: I played since I was a teenager. 2. ultimate frisbee: discovered that three years ago, and I am totally fond of it! I love to trek (wild trekking) in any parts, as well as orientation races, and any mountain activity. I love to camp and be free when travelling. Paradoxically, I also love to dive! My new thing! :) I suppose all of this is just about discovering the world. I'm involved into Wikipedia (fr, es, en) and find it incredibly interesting and rewarding :) ... And of course, I'm always dreaming about travels!
