Overview
About Me
Who am I ? Kind of a big question.
First word would be curiosity. I think that it is what defines me the most. This is why I travel, why i talk to people, why I study. Because I want to know.
Kind of crazy, too. Maybe the knowledge mass in my brain was too high and it went beyond the gravitational collapse point, creating a craziness black hole (the funnt creative kind of craziness, if you wondered, which is why I love improvisation theatre).
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Because I like to travel. And as I am meeting new people every year, there is some kind of diaspora of all the people I used to hang out with. So, I try to visit them when they are abroad. And I want to go to the nearby cities.
Oh, and I am into doing road trips.
Interests
I love to go to gigs (Mostly metal, but I try to be as open as possible about music), whatever their size. the atmosphere at a concert is always thrilling.
And I don't know what my life would be without theatre. And more precisely improvisation theatre. Improv' is just something amazing.

Music, Movies, and Books
I am a huge metalhead, I listen to approximately the whole spectrum of metal : black, death, folk, heavy, thrash, grindcore,...
I also listen to a lot of hardcore (H20, Hatebreed, Agnostic Front, Madball, ...) and punk music.
My favorite movie is Scott Pilgrim Vs the World (which I probably watched over 80 times ^^). I mostly watch horror movies, sci-fi movies, low-budget B-movies from the 80s (Troma, or more recently The Asylum's mockbusters.) And obviously, I binge-watches TV series such as Game Of Thrones, New Girl, Community, Firefly, South Park,...
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I took a break year in my scientific studies to do something completely different. For 9 months, I was involved in an association. I proposed entertainment events, within a team of 8 young people, coming from very different backgrounds (Did I already mentioned that I love diversity?).
On a first project, the events were adressed to the elderly. We did Mölkky, some wood board games, adapted gym, penalties & free throws, a cake competition. In the end, we organized Olympic games for the elder people from the 6 residences we worked in.
On a second project, in a team of 4, we organized sensibilizations (to ecology, handicap,..) and a few animations on a new market in order to develop a more lively main place in a poor district. We also helped to run a local solidarity shop, selling at very low price things that were given away by some inhabitants who didn't use it anymore.
Teach, Learn, Share
If asked, I can prepare an introduction training to improvisation theatre (Just keep in mind that it requires to be at least 5 people).
What I Can Share with Hosts
