About Me

I'm a 23 years old very open-minded guy who loves to travel and meet new intersting people. I may not be extroverted, I like to socialize and I'm an easy-going person.
I work in transport planning and modelling, which I love, so please tell me if I'm boring you by talking too much about it ! :p

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm looking to discover a new way to meet people and travel. During my stay in Vietnam, I had the chance to experience 'homestays' (being welcomed by a local family) which I found amazing. I hope to make couchsurfing as my new favourite way of travelling, and I look forward to have a bigger flat in Paris to welcome surfers !

Interests

I'm a very open-mided person who's always keen on learning new stuff.
I love my work, so I'm naturally really interested in transports & mobility, urbanism and sociology.

Apart from work, I like to take pictures and videos, and I do some video editing (there will surely be a video of my next trip!). Not a particularly sporty person, even though I really enjoy outdoor activities such as hiking, biking, climbing, via ferrata, etc etc. I'm also always up for a museum or an exhibition, which can concern art, history, science or anything else.
I maybe go too much in the movies these days ahah.
One last thing : I love to cook, especially Chinese and Vietnamese food

Music, Movies, and Books

Even though they regularly change, there's a bunch of bands and artists I often listen to :
- The Blaze
- French 79
- Rone
- Glass Animals
- Tame Impala
- Arctic Monkeys
- Flume

I can't say I have a list of favourite movies, but I surely did appreciate these ones :
- Xavier Dolan movies (especially Laurence Anyways and The Heartbeats, mainly for their photography)
- Kill Bill (1&2, with a slight preference for vol. 1) (Quentin Tarentino)
- Eyes Wide Shut (Stanley Kubrick)
- Inception (Christopher Nolan)
- American Beauty (Sam Mendes)
- Nocturama (Bertrand Bonello)

I'm not much of a reader, so I'll keep my 'fav books' list empty for now!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I had the chance to live and travel around Vietnam during a three-months internship in Hanoi. Discovering a country so different from mine during a long stay allowed me to meet authentic persons, visit genuine places and understand the life of Vietnamese people.

Countries I’ve Visited
