About Me

ABOUT ME

I'm friendly, communicative, sharing... I like meeting new people that are in the same way of thinking that I am => Having fun, discovering new things and cultures, enjoying what the life has to offer...

PHILOSOPHY

Travelling is the most enriching activity. You meet new philosophies of life, new ways of thinking, you learn everyday something about cooking, art, culture, sociology... My dream is to be able to travel all my life even if i have to sacrifies other thing like having a car or a huge house...
I believe that couchsurfing is one of the best way to get to know people that are in the same philosophy of living and sharing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couchsurfed only three times, each time in Israel but it was an amazing experience. I discovered that the couchsurfing world as being a really open and sharing one (which actually sounds logical because you wouldn't open you're house to someone you don't know if you're not in the sharing mood) . The day i'll have my own apartment i'd love to host people too but until now i had only student rooms.

Interests

I like at most travelling.
Maybe because of the food? (I looooove discovering new types of food)
It's although because it's a great social experience.

When I can't travel, I'm active in culture, music, art, sports and dance.
I'm always open to discover new activities and sports.

Music, Movies, and Books

Lately i'm more oriented in funk and french electronic music such as C2C or Wax Taylor. But I listened a lot to metal, jazz, classical music... I played 10 years piano , sang , and now I'm trying to learn a little bit guitar.

For movies i'll nominate Lost in Translation (moving to Japan soon so i guess it's justified), The Lord of the Ring ... and there is much more movies I like.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent one year studying as an exchange student in Jerusalem. I felt in love with that city and with the Israeli culture and socialness. Travelling around that beautiful country was probably for now my best experience.

In few days i'm moving to Kanazawa, Japan for an other exchange experience in a Art School. I believe that it's gonna be a new crazy experience.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teaching
my philosophy maybe? Enjoying each thing life offers you. Meeting people that will enrich you. Be openminded and try to be lovely to each person you'll meet, one day it will come back to you.

Learning
Languages, how people see the world...

Sharing
Everything I can

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm really really curious but although independent.
You want to show me your city? I'll follow you everywhere with sparkling eyes.

You don't want to spend time with me? Don't worry I'll find my way somehow through the unknown.

It happened that I made inhabitants from a city discover their own city (especially in Jerusalem because most of Israelis never had the courage or curiosity to go to the old city)

Countries I’ve Visited

Czech Republic, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Jordan, Spain, Switzerland, United Kingdom

Countries I’ve Lived In
