CURRENT MISSION

Travelling/working in Oz !

ABOUT ME

Wow. Tough question.
I've been doing so many different things, from philosophy at the Sorbonne university, to studying jazz music and work as a musician for 2 years, to working in advertising and lately, traveling in Asia on my own !

As a person, it is always difficult to describe yourself. I would say curious and always interesting in new things. Impatient and willing to always do something of my time, hard for me to stay still.

PHILOSOPHY

I used to study philosophy in the Sorbonne university. I have always found interesting to talk about many things, to discuss, to argue, that is how we increase our personal knowledge and learn how to know ourselves.
I respect everyone, every belief, and I am convince that we always have something to learn or to share with/from someone, this is why I'm here !

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

For now I am traveling so I am more demanding than offering anything except my sympathy and my presence :)
But when I will settle down, here or somewhere else (or back in France), I will continue this experience by welcoming people at my place.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm very new here so I'll tell you more about it when I meet some people from here !

Interests

I am fond of games, any games ! I am more into board/society games (playing around a table with some real people) instead of video games (even if I geek on it too, but less !).
I don't really like watching TV but I love the cinema and movies. I used to have an unlimited card in Paris to see all the movies I wanted in the theaters ! I am also a TV series swallower, Game of Thrones, Dexter, Breaking Bad amongst others !

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I just finished a 7 months trip through South East Asia (Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, India, Bali), so I have seen so many different things that I would like to share with everyone I meet to persuade them to go there and see what I saw with their own eyes. If you are interested I have many addresses to share !

Teach, Learn, Share

I know how to play the bass and used to teach it (played for 11 years).
I used to be a chess teacher in elementary school so, without being a Grand Master, I can still teach the basics and even some advanced moves !
I also used to teach french, history and philosophy to student in high school or even university.
