About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Traveling the world to further my studies with field assistant jobs in animal behavior sciences. When I'm not in the field, traveling for the sake of it!

ABOUT ME

I am a 25yo French guy who grew up in a little town in the Beaujolais countryside.

I am a pretty easy going, open-minded person.
I can be either quiet and almost invisible when needed or expressive and extrovert when I feel comfortable enough with people.

I have already traveled a little bit during the time I have been down there, I don't think of stopping any time soon.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is random, and here lies its beauty.

OPTIMISM

"Sorry, it's because I'm French."

"Don't ask a question if you don't want to know the answer...
otherwise, keep asking."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I shared my flat for three years with exchange students and each year was an amazing one. I had between three to five flatmates each time and never had a bad experience.
Gradually, my living room turned to a guest room for their visiting friends. I can't recall the number of people who used my couch, only that I was always interested to meet people from around the world.
When I moved in Toronto, I started traveling by surfing on my friends' couches. After exhausting the place I could visit that way, a friend introduced me to Couch Surfing and for the little experience of it I have now, I love the concept and this way of traveling.

Interests

I am curious about almost everything and would like/try to know at least a little about any stuff I can grasp.

I am more specifically interested in the human being as this super-smart-sometimes-too-dumb animal, which is why I am studying cognition in both human and animals in a comparative way.

In term of books, music, movies, painting, food, dance, and all the different kind of art there is, I am really eclectic.

I like to try new experiences whenever I can.
