About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy every day like there is no tomorrow.

ABOUT ME

I love life, and I think everything is easier when you smile.
I'm a big fan of movies in general, I try to watch as many as I can, of all kinds. Except for the Asian movies, which I don't really get.
I've played drums for 8 years, have been in several bands, always with my best friend(s). Therefore I LOVE music, as much as cinema. I like rock in general, but more precisely, almost every bands from the 60's and 70's to today. Blues, Rock, Rock n'roll, Soul, Funk, Electro, House, and all their variations. Most of all I love music that can be danced on.
Obviously I love to party, like there is no tomorrow.
The one thing I value the most in life is friendship, it made me who I am today and got me where I am. I like to be able to say that I can rely on my friends as much as they can rely on me. I don't have a lot, I don't need a lot, I just have the good ones.
I somewhat hope I will die laughing.

PHILOSOPHY

I try to be as respectful as possible of the people around me and nature. I like to smile most of the time, and I try to laugh at least 10 minutes a day.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Since I was 10 my mother has been hosting foreign exchange students at home. Since we had a pretty big house we could host up 5 people. So there has always been that ambiance at home, it was like a community, it's not always easy but it's definitely worth it.
So now that I moved out, I want to try to get that feeling again, in my own place. I love sharing experiences and costumes.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm new to this project, but it looks really cool, and I'm looking forward to meeting some of you guys.

Interests

As I said earlier, I love movies, music, parties, good food (I'm French), good wine (obviously), my friends, looking at the sky at night and feeling ridiculously small.
