About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I go 3 months with my friend Tudi in South America from June 11! On the road through Buenos Aires, Mendoza, Santiago de chile, Valparaiso, and probably many other places. My goal: meet everyone, improve my Spanish & spend a great time !

ABOUT ME

Student in 6th year of Medicine in France, I'm going to be a medicine resident in next november.
It's a little scary, so right now - and yet even after !- it don't stop me having fun and traveling & meeting people as much as I can.
I have only one desire: to learn from others, enrich me in contact with different people, and unfamiliar cultures, and share equally if not more!

PHILOSOPHY

Holy Goof

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I make my first steps on CS. For now, I can not host people at home, but I am free to go for a drink.
From November, I will probably live in Rennes (France), and will be surely possible to receive couchsurfers in my new flat.

Interests

Of course, I save lives all day long. No, it's a joke ^^ ! After work, my only goal is to spend my time to have fun & being a hedonist : go out, see friends, drink some beers or wine (french wine ;) ), cook like a 'chef' or simply have a "picoraille" time (french expletive for 'charcuterie & cheese'), do anything that is cool.
Also, I've got some passions : I play piano (Classical first, but above all Jazz), I improvise as I can, by inspiring me of my masters (Herbie Hancock, Bill Evans, Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk, and so many others). I like reading (French literature, but also American, German, Japanese ... A little philosophy too). I'm beginning in film photography (black & white), trying to catch beautiful images of people in the street.
I've yet traveled to some places in europe, but now I want to go further (America del sur right now!), in order to meet amazing people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I´ve already made the ascent of the highest mountain of the Vendee country, the Mont des Alouettes (232m high).

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share some moments in music : I play piano especially jazz, let's go for a jam or a four-hands piano !

Then I like cooking, I would show you some stuff in french cuisine and may be prepare a "repas a la francaise" :)

I'm also interested in oenology (wine tasting), I like good wine, and not only french wine ;)
