About Me

So, travelling is pretty fun right? Meeting people, seeing new things and all that jazz. I am currently embarking on a new adventure across Tanzania for five weeks, with my lovely girlfriend Raphaelle. We got a backpack, a tent and camping gear. We want to camp as much as possible in the African wilderness.

Basically just a laid-back person, don't want to overcomplicate things. I enjoy sharing thoughts and learning new ways of thinking. I will gladly discuss philosophical stuff over a beer, then go take it easy and party until sunrise (then sleep in). We can talk about anything, really.

My mother tongue is French. But a different kind of French than France French as you might have heard. A lot more lazy, and a lot cooler :p

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Adventure. Vagabonding cluelessly into something that will shock you, enlighten you, transform you. CS is the way to go my friends. You hop and go and talk to people who tell you hey, you should go here, or hey you should really do that. And BAM, something extraordinary happens, something you never expected. Ahhhh yeaah :D It's a cheap way to travel, but so rich at the same time!

Interests

Hockey, I play and I watch and I eat hockey alive, damn I love that sport. I enjoy most sports, volleyball, soccer, ping-pong, whatever, I'm in. I wish I could surf :( But always willing to try some more ! Hiking, kayaking, what a thrill.

I'm a huge cinephile. I studied in cinema and could talk about it for days. Also, watch out if you're a Game of Thrones fan, cuz we'll be talking aaaaall night!

Music, Movies, and Books

Game of thrones, Game of thrones, Game of thrones? Haha, no seriously Mumford and Suns, Alt-J, Emancipator, most downtempo electronic music, deep house (David August style). Piano creates the best melodies. Ludovico Einaudi is sooo good. Those old school British bands are aways a blast (Stones, Pink Floyd, Supertramp). Blues is awesome when you're feeling the vibe. I listen to so much stuff it's kind of hard to list. I enjoy good movie soundtracks as well.

Movies: American Beauty, Best of youth, Pulp Fiction, Diner de cons (haha) I like travelling novels, Into the wild kind of novels. History books, I am a history buff and love history films too.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I tried to swim across a lake once, nearly drowned. What a terrible decision that was.

Teach, Learn, Share

I don't really believe in free will, but rather the illusion of choice (that always makes for fun conversations :)), but I still think that is no reason to sit back and blame it on destiny , so explore, try, touch things, taste things, enhance yourself!

Also, don't waste water and recycle.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm very open-minded and can talk about anything. I'm up to try anything, just for the sake of experience. I don't play the guitar very well and can't do a backflip, but i'll make my stay worthwhile, I promise you that!
