Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My goal is to meet new people that I can learn from and whom I can teach to. I guess that couchsurfing can be a good way to do that while traveling.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am a lot into US TV shows like Breaking Bad, House of Cards, Silicon Valley, Modern Family etc.
When I listen to music it's mainly US Hip-Hop but I've replaced a lot of my listening time with podcasts about entrepreneurship, and self-help.
I read a lot of non-fiction books and my favorite ones are Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari, The Way of the Peaceful Warrior by Dan Millman and Elon Musk by Ashlee Vance.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most life changing amazing thing I've done is probably when I started to learn again a couple of years again. It broadened my horizons like crazy and made me believe anything was possible...

Teach, Learn, Share

I have been a tutor and a teacher for ten years in Maths and Physics. So I can teach some scientific stuff. I can teach my mother tongue (French) too and other things that I am not too bad at like photography, basketball and maybe a few other topics.
