About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Happiness (being happy and making others happy) is what drives me most. I wish to do so by travelling the world and meeting people in an authentic way: I think couchsurfing can help me with this :)

ABOUT ME

I am a 28-year-old guy coming from Paris and my goal in life is reaching happiness and making others happy as well.

I am very open-minded and always curious to learn. I find interest in pretty much anything, really.

I believe everything - from chores to mundane experiences to travels - can and should be associated with fun.

I work as a Business Developer in a start-up to pay the rent and enjoy new experiences as much as possible – travelling is definitely one of them!

PHILOSOPHY

I embrace life as an opportunity to experience happiness and I believe those are conditions to it:
_ Loving and being loved
_ Experiencing more than possessing
_ Being grateful for what you are/have
_ Exercising
_ Meditating
_ Being kind

I would love to discuss this with you guys!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

_ Hosting: I believe helping people out makes me a better person. Not only does it make me a better person, I also love to get to know people and share with them.

_ Surfing: I look to bring my hosts some light and happiness while I'm at their place!

_ Meeting: even if I am not able to host anyone during a certain period of time, I'm always happy to meet with anyone who would like a tour of Paris!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I look to surf and host :)

Interests

I love learning new things that's why I read A LOT about politics, new technologies, environmental and societal challenges, food, etc.

I also love going to the movies, partying with my friends (I love dancing to electro music!), going to concerts and festivals, visiting new places, etc.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am very open when it comes to culture and willing to read/listen to/watch pretty much anything.

I love movies that impress me and make me dream/wonder: Into The Wild, Gravity, Y Tu Mama También, etc.

I love dancing electronic music and I usually listen to indie/pop/rock music. I love going to gigs too!

More than books, I mainly read content online about my main interests: politics, new technologies, environmental and societal challenges, food, etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Flying a plane! That was my ultimate dream as a kid :)
