Hey there, my name is Antoine and I am French (from my mother) and German (from my father). So 100 % european let's say :)
I grew up in France (Strasbourg) and now I study engineering in Germany.
I learned chinese at high school and visited Taïwan twice. My exchange partner and I became very close friends and I made beautiful memories there.

Now, as I started capoeira in October 2014, I'm turning towards Brazil and will be visiting it in August/September 2015. Assim eu aprendo português ha cinco meses !!
I am very CURIOUS and EXCITED about this country because it seems to be a very dynamic, vibrant and colorful country !

About myself : I am a social person, not complicated, very tolerant and open minded, I easily adapt to new environments and always enjoy what life gives me. I am happy with simple things. But when there is an opportunity, I grab it !! I live it 100%.
I guess sometimes I'm also a bit crazy and I love everything non conventional. I like to transcend reality, you know

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Planning my trip to Brasil I had the choice between hostels and couchsurfing and thinking about it I realize that couch surfing could really be an awesome experience, especially meeting local people would be a far better experience than just discovering the cities as a "random tourist".
It will be my first couch surfing experience.

Interests

As I said I am happy with everything. Bring me to a museum, to a night club or to a sport activity I will love it !!

Furthermore I've been practising capoeira for one year.
I also play the guitar and sing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Made my own album. All home recorded, burnt 100 CDs with my computer and gave a concert in my town where I gave it to the people. (That is not a lot but I personnally consider it as the launching of my international career.. who knows maybe one day I will be able to live from my music :)
