Overview
About Me
I'm easy-going and looking forward to learn, discover and create projects with peoples from the whole world.
I travel a lot because of my work (research in computer sciences), and particularly love to visit cities "in immersion": living with / like the locals.
I welcome any new experience with a great interest and do not intend to stop being amazed by any little discovery on the way.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Me and my room-mates just moved to a big house with a lot of place to host people. We decided to have the most possible people dropping by and sharing their experience with us ... We had a lot a couchsurfers at home, mostly from my roommate couchsurfing account...
I also couchsurfed my way around Britany by bike.
Interests
My interests are wide:
