About Me

Currently in: 🇲🇦
Always up for meeting new, cool, interesting people 🍀

29-year-old digital nomad from Brussels, I'm a translator and PhD researcher and I nomad around as I translate and research. 🌙

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Especially to meet new people, make new friends from everywhere, learn more about the country from a realistic point of view. I also think this is the best way to defend peace.

Interests

I love reading, literature is one of my biggest hobbies. I'm a lot into sports, especially calisthenics and gymnastics that I recently started and enjoying a lot at the moment. And of course, I really enjoy travelling and living abroad, meeting new people of various cultures, learn more about the world and humanity. It's fascinating.

Music, Movies, and Books

The music I'm into are the rock and punk music from the mid 70', but I also enjoy classical music and folklorical singing. The literature I'm currently discovering is the Russian literature, which I enjoy very much, and am currently writing a thesis about Doctor Zhivago - I also have some masterpieces of the French literature I can highly recommend if interested. As for the movies, my favourite director is Stanley Kubrick, I believe his work is one of the biggest of our times. But I never refuse some Tarantino or Scorsese, both as big geniuses as him.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Urban exploration in Moscow among overwhelming Sovietic architecture, Yellow vests demontrations in Paris among angry Frenchmen, sunset watching in Iranian desert among roaring jeeps.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn as much as possible about the countries I visit and live in, and I think the best way to do so is to meet the residents; we can talk about food, music, folklore and languages of the place, I would be happy to discover all that, as much as I always am happy to discuss my own culture, my own language - which is French, that I am also passionate about.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm openminded and really curious about everything so we could have some great talks about both our cultures, or anything else for that matter. I also enjoy cooking for people rather than just for myself, I think it can be really bonding.
