I am a young business masters graduate currently working in Paris for a big NGO. I can't decently host (except in case of emergency haha) because my place is ridiculously small... but I can still give information and tips about Paris and France in general.

I traveled in more than 30 countries, especially in 2015 (Mongolia, China, Central Asia, Alaska, Canada, USA, South America). I also worked in Malaysia and in the Philippines... which is why Southeast Asia is one of my favorite parts of the world. I think I have a sh*tload of stories to share with fellow travellers ;)

I'm currently working for a big NGO in Paris, enjoying the city and making the most of my time here. Unfortunately, my place is WAY too small to host someone... that's the downside of the Parisian life...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I'm in love with this community since the first day. I met so many cool and crazy and generous people through this website. Thanks to CS, I had a dank party in one of the worst islamic countries (Brunei), slept on a boat in the port of Seattle, did ice climbing in Alaska, celebrated a football victory on the roofs of Quito... Where else will you have this?

Music, Movies, and Books

- Music: Electronic music (techno, trance, and a little bit of house) and rap (French rap and a little bit of US rap), but also all the classic Karaoke tracks. By the way, I f*cking love karaoke.
- Books: philosophy, politics, international affairs (we can talk about this for hours)
- Movies: I'm amazed by the quality of recent Amercian TV shows. House of Cards and Homeland are excellent, I'm watching The Knick right now, and it's pretty cool too. I actually love 80% of the movies I watch so don't ask me my opinion if you want some expert advice on movies.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- the 12-days long "Everest Trek" in Nepal, climbing up to 5545m :)
- crossing half of Afghanistan by car before being expelled by the embassy
- walking to the magic bus (you know, the movie Into the Wild)
- Fusion Festival in Germany (by far my craziest music experience so far)

Teach, Learn, Share

I have lots of advices and stories to share after having travelled quite a lot, and I like to discuss all kinds of topics as I am a heavy news reader! Expect long conversations!

I can obviously help you with French.

I also know great drinking games.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Nice discussions and memories, travel stories (I guess), info about France (obviously), a beer...
