Mindset: "Life's like a play: It's not the length, but the excellence of the acting that matters"

I'm Alex, 36 yo from Lyon.

I worked for international companies (biotechnology, non-profit organization...). I had the opportunity to work with people from different cultures (chinese, russian, indian, canadian, arabic, european...) and I love it ! I work today as process specialist for an international chemical group. If I'd have to define myself in some words: eclectic, curious, open-minded, easygoing.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to all kind of music with a preference for pop and strong lyrics.

About films, I have a preference for action, disaster, science-fiction, horror but I can watch all kinds as comedy or others.

I do not read lots of book but for example, the last one was "Moral Letters to Lucilius" from Seneca, a latin philosophy writter.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Life is about sharing isn't it ?

Please, request for one-night hosting only, it's important for me to give you a bit of my time and you will have more chance as well.

Because couchsurfing is not a way to travel cheap but above all a human meeting, a sharing, please write a personal message and not copy/paste. Start your message with the hidden word.
