About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Faire de sa vie une aventure

ABOUT ME

A long time ago, I've been fascinated by intellectual thinking. Therefore, I was a student at HEC Paris, Science Po Paris and I am a real passionate of French philosophy. I even decided to attended lessons in la Sorbonne for a Masters degree. And I understood that the scholar way to get into thinking, not to say lifestyle, was not satisfactory any longer.

That's why, more recently, I discovered myself a true passion for travelling. It is both a way to be confronted with yourself and with the others. To me, this means you can be enriched not only discovering new people but also delving into economics and culture of the country you travel into. Indeed, those experiences do sediment into your inner person so that you might come up utterly transformed. I therefore went to a world tour for 2 years within a project called "Faire de sa vie une aventure".

As a consequence, I see myself as easy-going and thoughtful, personable and curious of everything. As a general rule, I am always willing to help people. I am an active Red Cross Volunteer :P

PHILOSOPHY

The best way to understand one's personal philosophy is definitely to talk about it with people you meet.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosting and Surfing. Both are the two pillars in CouchSurfing.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Singular. Universal. Fascinating.

Interests

I find some time to develop my personal interests which are :
* Traveling : I love backpacking (> 30 countries).
* Chilling out : I'm starting to know Paris bars and nightclubs pretty well ;
* Reading : especially for French litterature, global economics, political essays and administrative reports ;
* Enjoying cultural life in Paris : I know a bunch of museums, go to the cinema and discover "bons plans".
* Sports : handball, hiking, running, fighting sports, scuba diving and weightlifting ;
* Cocooning (sometimes).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing thing I've done occurred when I was in French Guiana. I had the idea to spend a few days in the rainforest. To do so, I went in a small town by a traditional boat : une pirogue.

I was absolutely thunderstruck when I could sip a soft drink with Brazilian gold miners in a bar located right on the river. It looked like the real Far West both on the French and Brazilian frontiers!
