About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Unorganised weekends wherever I could learn and discover something new :)

ABOUT ME

I'll try all the best I can to discover incredible cultures. It's all about understanding other way of living, to add different values, habits or else that could help us make the most of our lives !
Open to anything, i will always be motivated.
I'm always laughing at bad jokes, stupid jokes, subtle jokes.

PHILOSOPHY

I don't live and study for money, I just want to take all the opportunities that I have to travel, go where my mind asks me to, taste the things that I see. It's all about making the most of coincidences that happen everyday around you. First being aware that they exist, and then letting me guide to wherever it will take me !
I simply think that the only way of opening your mind is by going out of your own house and letting you lead by every color, smell, sound that surround you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Participating in everything I can, with the most intense interest! I'll be a good company for every party or sport/cultural activity!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've met so many incredible people through couchsurfing... in my house, someone else's house, a bar, a football stadium, a museum, so many places !
I've been organizing some weekends for people arriving in my town, fun parties in a pub, or just receiving people for one night and preparing some good regional dishes :)

Interests

I looooove surfing in France, in Australia (but haven't done it for a long long time). I try learning some new things, like repairing an old '87 motorcycle, or building some gadgets, or 3D printer.
Singing in the shower, playing tennis and tasting a good beer in front of any kind of sport!
Watching all those addictive series such as GoT, Suits, TBBT.
I love spending some time cooking for other people. I am not an amazing cook, but I like taking this time to then share smiles around a good dish :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Donnie Darko, Lucky Number Slevin, Seven, The Wall, The illusionist (I am a big big big fan of Edward Norton), The Prestige...
So musically speaking it's kind of hard to sum it all up. But I would say : Asaf Avidan (mainly in concert), Amy Winehouse, Naaman, Jason Mraz, Supertramp, Arctic Monkeys, Watsky, Devendra Banhart, Led Zepellin, but above everything...PINK FLOYD! (is that even a sum up...)
If there was a song right now (22/10/18) : Junk of the Heart (The kooks).
If there was an album (same day) : Mundo Meu (Flavia Coelho).

One book : Tutti i miei amici sono morti written by Avery Monsen and Jory John (thank you Alice La Comtesse for this discovery)
There's actually another one : La prophétie des andes written by James Redfield.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Going for an internship in Germany and not speaking a word of German.
Learning by heart a song in a language I don't speak : Ottima Scusa by Willie Peyote (Italian)
Swimming with 50 dolphins somewhere lost in the red sea and "dancing" with one of them. Trying some non verbal communication with it.

I could teach you how to stop hiccups within a second only by concentrating.
