Overview
About Me
I'm a 23 years old french guy, living in Brussels for almost three years. After 6 years of art studies, i've been working for a year in a movie theater, as a waiter.
I'm into arts, cinema, food, and discovering the world. I am kind, I like to talk about life, and I always smile (when I'm abroad, not at work...).
I'm working on my personal projects on the side. I take pictures, I make videos, and I write letters to people who're far from me: some of my family members, friends, exes, people who were or who are still in my life, but too far to know everything about my everyday life. It's important to me to meet people who left home and family, and to understand how it has changed them.
I'm also currently on my new hobby. Nail art. And I would like to become, someday, a nails technician, and a photographer, and a movie maker. (Such a weird cocktail!)

Music, Movies, and Books
I love music but i suck at remembering the names of the singers. BUT, I know a few GREAT french singers or bands and it will be a pleasure to let you know more about them :)
I like bands and singers such as Ibeyi, Odezenne, The Do, Fleetwood Mac, Roméo Elvis, Doja Cat, Biig Piig, and i am a huge fan of 90s and 2000s songs !
I am a huge fan of cinema, I go anytime I can. I love Haneke, Lars Von Trier, Gaspar Noé, Dolan, etc. I always love to talk about movies and what I like or dislike in the movies I've watched. (And I could recommend some great movies too !)
I don't read a lot, though I'm trying sometimes to force myself. For me to know me about literature. But I love Virginie Despentes' books. Especially Vernon Subutex. :)
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Amongs all of my trips with my family or my friends, the one I have loved the most was the trip I did by myself. My friends dared me once to go abroad alone, and I did. I spent a week in Rome, with my backpack, in a hostel. At first, it was really hard for me to enjoy this beautiful city, because I wanted to share everything that I was seing with someone.
But then, I started to enjoy this time alone. And it allowed me to think about so many things in my life. After one week, I had sorted things out about so many issues that I had ! Because I was on my own, I could anything I want, anytime I want.
Rome helped me soooo much. And I miss being alone, in a city I don't know. I think it's important to everyone to experience being alone.
Teach, Learn, Share
I don't know if I can teach you anything ! But I love talking, I love learning about new cultures, about cities' history, about art, music, books, politics, literally ANYTHING.
I especially love discovering food specialties.. :)
What I Can Share with Hosts
My good mood ! I'm trying to become a more positive person !
What I would also want to share is special moments with new people. To get to know them a little bit better, to know what they like or dislike, what are their goals, their wills, theirs wishes in life.
I decided that from now, anytime I travel, I would bring my analog camera and my digital one, to take pictures and videos of everything and everyone i meet. I would like to create new memories, and to share my experiences and my stories with people.
