About Me

I'm a french engineering student completing my master in Computer Science. I moved from Lyon (France🥖) to Montreal 🍁 last September and had a wonderful time so far (even in the winter❄️).
I'm pretty outgoing, I like meeting new people, especially from other cultures and background.
I love bouldering (currently climbing V5 - V6) 🧗, biking 🚴, hiking 🥾, cinema 🎥 and comics 🗯️ (more visual novels than superheroes but both are fine).
I also played handball as a goalkeeper 🤾, passed my first level of diving 🤿, tried hockey 🏒 and baseball ⚾ and played competitive chess when I was a child ♟️.

Most of all I'm curious and will be interested in learning about / trying anything new :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Last year I traveled from France to Georgia (6500km) in one month with a friend. We hitchhiked and couchsurfed most of the times. It was our first time couchsurfing, we met many incredible people and had many amazing experiences.
Now I want to travel once again, by myself this time and at the other side of the world. 🌎

PS: My friend continued to travel so he kept our CS account, we had 8 recommendations together. You can find them here: https://couchsurfing.page.link/pikFX29hN5tc64P48.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books 📖
I just finished On the Road by Jack Kerouac, it was an intense and exhilarating experience which motivated me to travel more.
I like Cyberpunk a lot: The Neuromancer, Snow Crash...

Films 🎞️
Heat, one of the best heist movies, which is my favorite genre.
Recently I was very moved by Manchester By the Sea.
I like to listen to critics but haven't watched so many movies recently :'(

Music 🎵
Mostly New French Touch and Indie electro :
The Blaze, French 79, Worakles, L'Impératrice, Overwerk...
The last album of Justice is really good, especially the tracks with Tame Impala.

Visual Novels / Comics ✏️
Maus, Shangri La, Frontiers

Video Games 🕹️
Rogue-likes (Dead Cells, Slay the Spire, Hades...)
Cyberpunk 2077
The Witcher 3
Assassin's Creed Black Flag

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

During our trip to Georgia with my friend, we had to hitchhike by night in the middle of Turkey. We arrived at 10 in a small city with nowhere to stay for the night. Luckily we found a group of Turkish friends who took us to a sort of cabin in the suburbs of the city. As soon as we got inside, we heard the sound of a chainsaw behind us and had the fear of our lives. In fact our hosts were just cutting some wood to keep us warm during the night and it ended up being one the nicest stay of the trip !
