CURRENT MISSION Going around the whole world ABOUT ME Hey! Welcome on my profile of couchsurfing, it's quite confusing where to begin, well, I was born in Asia there I spent a wonderful childhood, and then I moved to Paris for my studies in an engineering school. I started travaling around 12 years ago when i was in school and now though I have a busy job in a french bank, I still go as much as i can. While not traveling and during my free time, I like reading, playing piano, go hiking or simply meet friends for a chat around a tea, I like history, geopolitics, culture and literature. I did historical dancing for a while (those u see in period dramas as Jane austen) Nowadays I'm still go a bit when I can. I enjoyed couchsurfing a lot since I always meet nice people with whom u can always learn something from and on the other hand, share your own experiences. So it is a perfect plateform for meeting people, experiencing cultural diversity and discoverying the world away from home. I just moved into a new appartement in the west Paris where some innovation still going on, but sooner i'll be able to host. But anyone who is interested in art, history or philosophy are welcome to contact me hanging out or having a drink. Grown up in a multicultural environment since youth, I enjoy learning about different culture, cuisine of the world and literature. PHILOSOPHY There're no failure in life but only lessons, something that doesn't kill u make u stronger.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING - Participation in CS - Paris Hosting COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I once met a Canadian girl who was looking for an accomodation in Paris, she told me about couchsurfing, from then one, I went to the meetings in Paris and I met some people who are really cool who make me know more about the world. It's always been very great experience.
Music, Movies, and Books
historical movies, period dramas, chopin, debussy, schubert culture, history, psycology and humanity reading.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Once being the translator for the Festival de Cannes, working with the world class directors and artists, it's unforgettable. And an insider added me to the casting circle, sometimes when I am not busy at work, i go for playing some small roles in movies, i've already played in french movies qu'est ce qu'on a tous fait au bon dieu, le syndicaliste, astérix et obélix: empire au milieu.
Teach, Learn, Share
I would like to give people who are interested in learning French some tips. And also I'd be glad if some one wants to learn how to waltz or piano playing. Besides, I know a lot of recipies for Japanese and Chinese food. Anyone is welcome to join me for a dinner.
What I Can Share With Hosts
Life experience or travel stories, also some talks about difference between western and eastern culture.
My Interests
I'm interested in a lot of things, for sports: cycling, hiking, dancing, swimming, rowing. For art: classical music, piano playing, art gallery, ballet, interior design and gardening. For literature: I read a lot of things, most of them are about history, sociology and humanity, I'm specially interested in the 19th century western classics such as Jane Austen, maupassant or Chinese novels of the early 20's such as Eileen Chang. Also i've recently developped a new interest of interior design and decoration with plants (interior gardening), would like to share new ideas :)
