Hey guys, I'm Antonin from France, Niza.

I would rather describe myself as friendly man, very open minded who are interested about lot of things as sport, nature, landscapes, cosmology, phylosophy, cinema. I am passionate about free-diving into the sea and currently I can swim and old my breath for minute or longer. I like to discover new things, meet new people.

I am very friendly, and try to be optimistic in any circumstances :) I enjoy life as much as possible. I am very open minded. Willing to discover the world and its amazing people.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that every person you meet has something to share with you, something special to bring you. At the end it's all those little things you have got from your meetings which make you bigger and richer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am here to meet new people and travel all around the world. I have no doubt on the value of this good website, so I guess it is a good help to travel, save some money and have new meetings or even better get new friends.

Interests

I love sport, I like to play football with my friends, bicycle, running, or in summer Free Diving in apnea which is a kind of passion as I can feel myself truly connected to sea. I enjoy also the nature, forest, mountains, sea... beautiful landscapes... And I am crazy about Sunset and sunrise.

Music, Movies, and Books

Lord of rings, Star Wars have rocked my chillhood and I am still a huge fan of those saga. But I really love Le Grand Bleu, Dances with wolves, Interstellar, American history X, Las Vegas buyer club, Contact, The horse whisperer, Invictus, Dune, The silence of the lambs, Le dîner de con (a very good french movie), ...

Paulo Coelho - L'Alchimiste is one of my favorite books.

Musically I can say that I am open minded too as I like electro, drum and bass, trance, punk rock, metal, death metal, music from the world, ...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I swam alone in total apnea (free diving) through a natural tunnel for about 1min10s. The shades of colours, the glow of the light and the perfect silence from the ocean gave me new understandings about Universe and life.

I have been working during my Bachelor degree as a social assistant/educator for people with special needs and mental disabilities. I have never had such a good work until this one which is higly rewarding and human.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am always willing to teach and learn my mother tongue (French) I guess it's a wonderful language, but also ready to speak about every things and share my opinions, my thoughts. It's always a big pleasure to speak about sport and football, but I enjoy speaking philosophy, cosmology, economy, history, or also cinema as I really like film :)

I speak fluently French, English, Spanish and a bit of Finnish to ! :)
