I am rather calm person, usually, but potentially very talkative and intense :-)
I grew up in Paris, studied Zürich, worked in both and Vilach, Austria. My next step is being back to Paris. I don't like putting people into boxes based on their job. So if you need to know: I'll end up teaching one day - I love the interaction. For now I am about to start working in a small tech start-up in Paris.

I dream a lot. About mountains, stone walls, clouds, snow. Some day I will travel the world by bike.
Also when I will finally be big, strong and wise, I will climb El Capitan in Yosemite.

Last but not least, in a purely evil cheesy CS style : I am super curious and open minded, and I love traveling. And I want to discover other cultures all over our beloved planet. And of course, I want to meet YOU!

PHILOSOPHY

Bicyclism

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

CAN'T HOST RIGHT NOW :-(

I love both hosting and surfing. What I enjoy most is cooking eating and drinking with CSers, while engaging in endless conversations.
I surfed in the US/Canada, and in the balkans, mostly on bicycle tours. It is always awesome to find hosts in remote places.
We host all year round when stuck in Zurich, stays ranged from short evenings to three weeks (!)

Music, Movies, and Books

Books. Proust, Gide, Perec, David Foster Wallace and others
Calvin & Hobbes comics are very important to me.

Movies. Godard, Truffaut, Ozu,
Wes Anderson, the Coen brothers

Music: An eclectic mix. A bit of everything from baroque and classical to progressive and indie rock, via trip hop, electronic music, jazz, and chanson française. I like when musicians mix music from diverse regions styles and times. I like Rameau, Scriabine, Pink Floyd, the Shins, Fauve, the Budos Band, Noir Désir, Bob Dylan..
I discovered a lot of music surfing couches.

Favorite radio station: FIP (public french radio www.fipradio.fr): very eclectic. Try it out!
