Hi!
I love hiking, movies, live music, playing chess or just chatting.

Usually I am a quiet person, I prefer a dinner with friends over a loud party. But I am very fond of meeting new people and establishing connections! I especially enjoy exchanging with human beings from other cultures, discovering common grounds and differences, and on top of all tasting new food!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

What makes journeys specials is the people you meet along the way. I want to try and deep dive into this philosophy :)

Interests

Really, I am open to any kind of artistic expression, wheter it is an archeological museum, an underground photo gallery, a punk rock show or going to the movies. If you know about a nice event or exposition, count me in!

• books
• comics
• movies
• chess
• music

Music, Movies, and Books

I am really open in my tastes.

Music: I love to dance on any beat! Might be a lil weird but I've got the energy :D
To make me really happy, ska or punk! Some bands I'm ready to travel to see a show of: Gogol
Bordello, Rancid, Xiu Xiu, World of Pleasure, Dubioza Kolektiv.

Books: lately I've been reading travel books, but I'll always love a good novel. Some of my favourite authors: Coetzee, Saramago, Tolkien, Dostoevskij, Mishima, Toni Morrison.

Movies: I really enjoy "festival" movies, low budget indie productions or older authors. Some of my favourite filmmakers: Herzog, Kurosawa, Xavier Dolan, Fellini, Bergman

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Got to sober down. +8 years without alcohol!

Slept by tent in a bear inhabited area

Run a marathon

Teach, Learn, Share

I am at ease in the kitchen, I also have some vegan options in my inventory. Nothing too fancy, but I can guarantee it's tasty

What I Can Share with Hosts

I know how to respect privacy and rules, but I am really open to propositions. If you know a nice spot to visit or any activity to do and would like some company, I'd love to join.
I can cook something for you, we can have a yoga session or just have a nice chat at the end of a tiring day. I would like to be a friend coming over, and not just a guest sleeping in the other room :)
