ABOUT ME

Hey I'm Sam, passionate about travelling since I was a kid. Let's meet up and have a chat that will be worth much more than this little description space! Until then, this profile might still help you know me a little.

PHILOSOPHY

I never thought of what my life philosophy was, but during my trip to Ireland I realised what my travel philosophy was:

1-Appreciate small and simple things.
2-You never know what's going to happen.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When I first heard of CouchSurfing, I was amazed by how brilliant and exciting this way of travelling was. After I got my best travelling experiences through CouchSurfing, I decided it was time to give back to the community. I am now willing to get as involved as I can even though I don't really have a place of my own.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I made my first couchsurfing experiences in Tunisia with my brother. Through CouchSurfing, we met two people for a talk, and we were also hosted at two more places. Once alone in Spain, I was hosted for two nights in a small village in the Pyrineas. I also CouchSurfed in two places in Ireland lately. So far, all my couchsurfing experiences were great!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music is one of my main interests. I mostly listen to various genres of metal. I am also into rock, jazz, punk, ska, reggae and much more! I always love to share my tastes and discuss with others who also have a strong interest in music.

I'm not a big movie fan, but I always enjoy watching one once in a while. I've seen lots of movies over the years, but I rarely remember them. I know for sure that Tarantino is my favorite film maker. Other movies I enjoyed were Into the Wild, Mystic River, Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Global Metal, Diner de cons and The Darjeeling Limited.

When I was a kid, I read lots of books, but as I grew up I lost the interest (or time) for reading. However, some time ago, I suddenly found myself more interested in the books I read at school, probably because of the better comprehension I have of them. Also, my brother always lends me his favorite comic books and it is pretty much my favorite type of litterature.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

As a snowboard instructor, I know I'm able to teach what I know well. However, I'm more of listener than a talker. So I'm more into sharing, whether it be tastes on a particular subject, travelling experiences, personnal opinions or anything really!
