ABOUT ME

#Please read my couch information before making a Couch request

What can I said about me? I don't used to stay in the same place for long so far. I've moved a lot. After my engineer school and a couple of years working in a engineering design office, I quit my job and I started travel the world. Some people said that I don"t look like somebody doing some kind of things,but even if I am a quiet guy (most of the time), I do things. I like more when people do things instead of talking of it. So I travel from Europe to Oceania in 14 months. Great experience! When I came in France, I found a new job in Paris. I wanted to come back in Toulouse but as Mick Jagger said "You can't always get what you want". Still, Paris is not a bad city, it's busy, but it's alive. I want to meet some people in the capital and share some good moments and experiences.

PHILOSOPHY

- "Vivre une vie sans regrets." C'est un bon plan de vie même si on est face parfois à de lourds dilemmes.
- "Live without regrets"

- "Un Parisien c'est quelqu'un qui ne vit pas en Province. Tant mieux pour lui car il ne sait pas où ça se trouve."
- "A Parisian is somebody who don't live in Province. It's for the best, because he don't where it is"

- "Ne doutez jamais du courage des français, ce sont eux qui ont découvert que les escargots étaient comestibles"
- "Never doubt how brave are the french, it's them that discovered that snails where eatable"

I would like to master the banana joke.
