About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Discover and visit more and more places, meet people, learn more languages and be creative !

ABOUT ME

I'm quite curious about a lot of things, I like moving around to see friends here and there and having good time ! I will help anybody when I can and don't expect anything back...

PHILOSOPHY

Don't waste your time or take it easy, but do what you can to love your life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'd like to travel a looooot in the next years and Couchsurfing seems to be a good and very interesting solution, for the possibilities it offers and meeting so much peolpe.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've already travelled in a few countries and hosted foreign friends at home, but used Couchsrufing for only one travel in London with my best friend.
I've also hosted people a few times now, always good times - hope to try it again soon ;)

Interests

I spend a lot of time with my friends and family,
I looooove travelling ! Speaking other languages, meeting new people, discovering new places, new countries, new lanscapes, new songs, pictures monuments and cultures etc... Yeah, incredible, just like most of Couchsrufers muhahahaha !

As I said, I'm quite curious about everything and will always be pleased to learn more about anything ! But what I'm more interested in is arts (literature, painting, movies and music mainly), history, languages...

Music, Movies, and Books

MOVIES... bah ! can't give a list ! I like "rock'n'roll" movies, mad ones, dystopic stories, those which make you "think about your life", mind blowing films, horror films, martial arts movies and fantasy ! I especially like Miyazaki, Tarantino, Edward Norton, Johnny Depp, Gatlif, Emir Kusturica, and so on.

Music is very important to me, I have and will always love Rock, Reaggae, Classic, and Jazz... I try and discover new things all the time. By now I'm getting interested in Rap and a bit of R'n'B (which I would never have listened before!) and also I really love Bass music (Trap, Dubstep, Drum'n'Bass).

BOOKS !
A few writers I read:
Ray Bradbury (Farhenheit 451 was a revelation for me)
Samuel Beckett
Mark Twain
Paul Auster
George Orwell
Aldous Huxley
Albert Camus
Ernest Hemingway
Jack Kerouac
Roald Dahl
Bill Bryson
Will Self
Ali Smith

A subject that really really interests me is DYSTOPIA (the opposite of an utopia), be it in music, movies, books or pictures.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

As a countryside child I used to build huts in trees with my sister and friends.
Since I've been living in the city, I have climbed scaffoldings and got inside parks by night...
I've meditated on the top of a hill or on rocks next to the Mediterranean sea.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would like to learn some russian, arabic, turkish, brasilian, sanskrit and other languages...

And also want to be able to sing an play the guitar in the same time and to learn more dishes to cook (I often "try" new things or improvise something)...

Oh! And I want to start painting, sooo much !
Yep, too much things to do !

What I Can Share with Hosts

Everything.
I like great discussions and debates, sharing my knowledge and questions.
I like hanging around in the streets or anywhere, night and day.

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, England, Italy, Netherlands, Spain

Countries I’ve Lived In

France
