Overview
About Me
Hey! I’m a 24-year-old French guy, currently finishing my Master’s in European Affairs at SciencesPo Paris 🇪🇺.
Last year, I completed an LLM in International Business and European Law at La Sorbonne and an MA in EU Diplomacy Studies at the College of Europe.
I’m originally from the South of France, but over the past five years I’ve lived in Spain, Morocco, Poland and Belgium for different exchange programs (between 6 and 12 months each)🇫🇷🇪🇸🇲🇦🇵🇱🇧🇪.
I’m the oldest in my family, so I guess I naturally became independent and pretty good at figuring things out. I’d say I’m easygoing, open-minded and always up for discovering new places.
I speak French, English, Spanish and Moroccan Arabic fluently and a bit of Polish.
I tried Couchsurfing for the first time this summer during a two-week road trip in California with a friend (using her account), and I loved the vibe. So here I am, finally with my own profile :) 🇺🇸 You can check out the references/feedback left for me in my photos
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Because the best part of traveling, for me, is meeting people. I like cities, museums and food of course but what really makes a trip memorable is sharing moments with locals, learning small things about their day-to-day life, and discovering a place through someone who actually lives there.
I’ll be in Seville from December 7th to 11th, and I’d love to experience the city in a more authentic way than just doing the typical tourist route. Couchsurfing always makes trips feel more human and meaningful. 🇪🇸

Music, Movies, and Books
Movies : I love anything where the piano is central 🎹. The film "Prodigieuses" really stayed with me. I also liked the recent French film "Dossier 137" and on a completely different note "Now You See Me 3" made me laugh a lot. 🍿
Music : I’m very eclectic: I listen to everything from French rap to classical music, and also techno, house, and pretty much anything in between. It depends on the mood, the moment, and the place :) 🎶
Books : I mostly read non-fiction (society, geopolitics, politics, current affairs). But I’m open to anything people recommend. 📚
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
During a road trip in California, my friend and I decided we wanted to go horseback riding in the Santa Monica mountains. Instead of booking online like normal people, we went from ranch to ranch hoping someone would take us.
At one of them, an older lady misunderstood everything and thought we were trying to buy her ranch.
We had to explain that we were definitely not future ranch owners just two tourists looking for a horseback haha. 🐎
What I Can Share with Hosts
Sharing stories from the places, talking about the places I've lived (France, Morocco, Belgium, Poland, Spain), meeting someone new, discovering a spot you love, exchanging random anecdotes, or getting to know how people live here). 👥
I try to bring good energy, respect and curiosity wherever I go, and I really enjoy hearing about other people’s lives and experiences.
