About Me

Hi there!

25 years old. Fond of culture and digital things.

I've studied political sciences and cultural management and have decided to work in the cultural field. I've been working for Concert venues, Music Festival, Artists, and the Google Cultural Institute.

I love all cultural activities (going to museums, concerts, theatres, cinema...), I play guitar, and I also love sports (running 10k races, biking all the time) and motorcycles (proud Ducatist).

I'm easy going and very social, but I also very respectful of evreybody's well-being and feelings.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm a late comer - I registered over a year ago, but I haven't had the chance to welcome anyone at my place (it's a very small studio...I don't even have a couch) and I haven't been able to travel the past year.

From November 23 to December 22, I'll be on the road (well, on the rail) as I have bought a one-month interrail pass to travel Europe.

I plan to start in Italy, and then: Greece, Turkey, Bulgaria, Romania, Serbia, Bosnia, Croatia, Hungary, Slovakia, Austria, Czech Republic...and then back home in Paris :-)

I feel like couchsurfing can really add a great value to my experience abroad, giving me the chance to meet up with locals and see more than the traditional touristic places :-)

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm listenning to a lot of music, from Classic to Jazz, Rock, Pop, Folk, Electro, Rap...

Lately, I really enjoyed listenning to Patrick Watson, the Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Tame Impala, Jamie XX...

I don't really have favorite movies, as I'm a good audience enjoying pretty much all genres and periods :-)

And for books: I love reading poetry (french authors mainly), but also novels (Currently reading Invisible Cities by Italo Calvino).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Leaving a year abroad in Canada in 2011, studying art and music history, and going on a tour accross Canada with a Winnipeg-based band called The Noble Thiefs. That was pretty dope :-)

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach, Learn, Share... values that are dear to my heart.

Teach: My parents are teachers, and I myself teach digital and business strategies to the young talents I manage (at Youtube and for the ban I'm mananing). I just love to take the time pass on some knowledge I have.

Learn: if there's a teacher...there's a learner. I've been there and I intend to keep on learning new things all my life so I don't get old too fast :-)

Share: the best thing that can happen between two human beings.

What I Can Share with Hosts

What I can share with hosts? All the things I wrote about myself above: culture, music, travels, views on the world...and a good companion (I hope) for a moment to think and talk about cultures, societies, travels...and life in general.
