About Me

Like most of the people here...I love travelling. I've been lucky to visit a lot of different countries, and open my mind to other people and cultures. Getting to know the world I live in is something essential for me, especially the amazing nature places that this planet has to offer.
I like to meet different people, learn others cultures, taste different food, see and experience the beauty of nature, speak an other language...

Also I love flying and I've always wanted to become a pilot. To fulfill this dream I joined the Navy after high school to become a fighter pilot, after 8 months of awesome aerobatic flying I wasn't selected among the few ones so I decided to work with another passion of mine : photography and cinema. It's been six years that I now live and work in Paris as a film director. https://www.a-magnan.com/

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I backpacked for three months through the US when I was 18, couchsurfing the whole time, that's how I discovered this amazing community. I'm using it since then, travelling and hosting !

Interests

-I love aviation, flying a plane, seeing the world from above, surfing the clouds...

-I love cinema and I watch many various kind of movies as well as documentaries. Making movie is a real passion, I feel very fortunate to work in this field and I hope it'll take me in big life adventures !

-I have a passion for photography, I can't travel without my camera, and I really like hanging out in the streets or in Nature taking pictures. Photography is a motivation itself to go to new places.

- I like Guacamole, when you send me a couchrequest be sure to write the word "guacamole" in your request so I know you've read my profile ;)

-I love music, from over the world and from different times. I also like to listen to movie soundtracks, they're always inspiring !

-I like outdoor sports in general, I love to bike, rock climb, windsurf, mountain hike, ski...
