About Me

Born in Paris, have lived in London for the past four years, have travelled to Philadelphia at least a dozen times, and visited a lot of western Europe. There is still so many places I want to see ! I love music (to an unhealthy level ;) ), some of my favourite bands being the Clash, the Smiths, the Velvet Underground but also some more modern ones like the Strokes, Arctic Monkeys, Phoenix or Metronomy.

I love to talk about literature, to hang out at cafes in the sun for hours, and I love languages and the way you can always link them together somehow.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

There's nothing sadder than going to a place to visit and not having any friends in the area, and I think an interesting person is one who goes out of his way to meet people from very varied backgrounds. I think the principle of couchsurfing is a great idea because it allows people to meet friends from places they would have never visited otherwise

Music, Movies, and Books

I won't go into music too much because I'd write too much :) Beatles, Stones, Clash, Velvet Underground (Lou Reed is my hero :) ), the Who, Led Zeppelin, Grateful Dead, the Smiths, the Stranglers, the Police, Depeche Mode, Nirvana, Oasis, Blur, Soundgarden, Radiohead, the Strokes, Arctic Monkeys, the Libertines, the Vaccines, Future Islands are some of the bands I like

Films: I've watched every movie ever made by Woody Allen 5 times, I also love Spielberg, Coppola and Scorcese, I have quite ecclectic taste in cinema
