About Me

First of all, I'm quite a calm person, the kind who doesn't necessarely need to speak to enjoy the moment. But that doesn't mean I've nothing to share ! :)

I don't smoke and rarely drink because I don't feel the need to but from time to time a good beer is quite nice :)

I'm passionate about many things in life, mostly arts : underground music, old school classics, cinema, tv shows, asian movies, mangas, drawings, paintings, video games and such. I'm a computer graphic artist working in the video game industry so everything related to the image or sound interest me.

I'm also a long time Bmx rider so I love extreme sports, pushing my own limits, meeting new friends with the same passion, and feeling free on my bike.

I'm open minded and since I'm not usually the one who speak the most, I'm a good listener. I love to listen to people and learn new things.

Lastly, I love to cook, especially cakes and such so I often like to enjoy a good meal with my friends. I'm also a very independent person so I'm not scared to be left alone !

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm not lying, right now I'm hoping to find a place to stay in Paris, time enough to find my own place because I got a job there :)

But the concept is great, and because I don't easily introduce myself to unknow people in the daily life, couchsurfing might be a good solution for me to host and meet new people in the future.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to way too many music and watched way too many good movies to list any single ones so listing genre might be a better solution !

Movies : Lost In Translation, Fight Club, Inglourious Bastards, Moon, Interstellar, Gladiator, Shame, Biutiful, American Beauty, Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, The Godfather, Once Upon a Time In America, Raging Bull, Snatch, Ghost Dog...

Books : I'm not much of a reader but I love Robin Hobb's Assassin Apprentice serie and Davig Gemmell's Rigante serie. Also Tolkien's work of course. I'm a fan of fantasy :)
