About Me

As of September 2024, I left my job and my appartment in order to live a long time dream of mine: cross the entire Eurasian continent without ever taking a plane.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Travelling, meeting people, learning and generally having fun.

Interests

Travel, Movies, Video making, Drawing, Video games and pretty much anything people can teach me! I'm quite curious.

  • photography
  • movies
  • video games
  • traveling

  • badminton
  • hitchhiking
  • video making
  • human sciences

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies from all kinds of genres. Here's some of my favourites: Fight Club, Drive, Scarface, The Fountain, Donnie Darko, Hot Shots! (1 and 2), The Good The Bad and The Ugly.

As for music, I'm not as well versed as I am with cinema, but I fairly enjoy some 70'/80's rock (e.g. David Bowie, Genesis, Bon Jovi, Guns n' Roses, etc.) and synthwave as well (Kavinsky, Carpenter Brut, Perturbator, Chromatics). On a rainy day, I can get into some jazz, classical music and post-rock too. Favourite band though? Might be a bit cliché, but Pink Floyd all the way!

Video games might be another of my favorite artforms. If you want a taste, just ask me about the many layers of complexity of Metal Gear Solid, the impressionism of Shadow of the Colossus, or how the Ratchet & Clank games are drenched in anti-consumerism.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Some friends and I managed to find 50 different types of energy drinks and did mix them all together just to see what kind of taste it would have... Ok, now that I think about it, it's more stupid than amazing (especially since I don't even like energy drinks), but it was really fun to do!

Teach, Learn, Share

I am most definitely a Psychology nerd. More specifically an Industrial and Organizational Psychology nerd. So if you would like to learn about the science of "why your boss might be an idiot", I got you covered!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I like making jokes! Most of them are quite bad, very bad... but it doesn't stop me from trying!
