About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoyed my last month in Australia

ABOUT ME

I am really open minded and I always want to make people around me happy. Sometimes my friends say that I am too kind and that could be dangerous but I don't think so, most of the time people don't abuse of the situation and build really nice relationship!

Why do I need Couchsurfing?
For the moment I am in exchange in Australia. My courses will end on 23 June. So I can stay until 23 July. I want to travel all across Australia but it's really expensive and couchsurfing might be one of the best way to both save money and enjoy the trip by meeting new people!

PHILOSOPHY

Smile to Life and Life will smile you back.
Carpe Diem.
Anima Sana In Corpore Sano (= "Asics" like the running shoes brand :D).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've just created my account because I am currently traveling but I'm keen to host people once I'll be back in France!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Actually, it's my first experience in CouchSurfing :)

Interests

Wow! Many things! I am very curious. When I don't know something I want to try it. I spend my life enjoying new experiences and sharing my time with my friends and new people. In Australia I've discovered wake boarding and scuba diving. In France I am fond of skiing and I run a lot. I love magic tricks and I like cooking. I did piano but given my engineering studies (in renewable energies) I don't have much time now.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Haha well, I was in a military school during three years and I've followed an intense commando training where I learnt how showers and bed could be a luxury ;)!
I've been in the student union of my university and I've organised a trip of three days with my team and 600 hundred students doing paintball, rafting, treetop adventures and so on.
I've been third at the French cross country championship. I've organised a conference about risk and safety of nuclear plants after Fukushima's disaster with an international expert. I've organised an other conference with a formula 1 champion member of the red bull team and his engineer. I've created a club of adventure racing in my French university.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach some magic tricks - massages - cooking - French expressions - how to stretch for a running competition - simple piano pieces - looking stars in the sky - making good coktails
