CURRENT MISSION

Travel, Discover, Meet, Open my horizon and WRITING MY THESIS

ABOUT ME

Well,My name is Antoine and I am 27 years. PhD candidate since 2014, I began to teach cinema theory and history since last year ! Spending my life in cinemas and libraries (which is not that bad). When I can (my bank account), I always try to travel. In august, I'll go to Siberia !

I live Montreuil, a charming little city at 3 subway stops from Paris. So it is very easy if you want to visit the city. Montreuil is famous for being a popular and a historic communist city (be careful Americans). Now it is still popular but there is a lot microbreweries, cultural activities, very old cinema studios (Méliès and Linder) which have been transformed into artistic places.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

A few years ago, I made my exchange year in Montreal and during the summer, I've made a huge road trip across the USA and I only used couchsurfing. It was the best experience in my life ! So I want to give back what I received.
