About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I've traveled and lived in some countries of the world and the best experiences I've had so far has been when I was staying with local people, wherever I was. This is why I'm using couchsurfing.

ABOUT ME

I'm a good traveler. I'm been to many places including Europe, India, southeast Asia and North Africa.
I study psychology and I will soon start working as a clinical psychologist
I like to talk and to interact with people.
On the introvert-extrovert continuum, I feel I'm pretty much in the middle. I really enjoy watching movies and reading, but I also enjoy spending the night talking with friends around a beer.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm a pretty open minded person.
I don't like to tell people what to do unless they ask for and I don't really like to be told what to do.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've used couchsurfing once for a week when I was in Mexico city and really enjoy my experience. Without using couchsurfing, I've spend some time with locals from Europe, Thailand, Mexico and the US. I like to stay at some people's place when I go somewhere because I feel you get so much more for you experience.

Interests

Books (Mostly french and american autors)
Movies (from everywhere!)
Traveling... of course!
The people in general, hense the study of psychology!
I also do a lot of photography. I bought my first DSLR (digital single lens reflex) in 2009 and took over 40 000 pictures since then.
