About Me

Hi !
"CURIOSITY" could be my second name.
I love to discover things, universe, strange things all around the world. People too. And even if you feel normal, we all got something unique.
I used to travel a lot, when i lived with my parents, but now i'm on my own and i wanna travel without getting out of Paris haha ! :)
I'm really a true parisian blood, i mean, i'm the perfect "cliché" of the parisian according to my friend (without the boring/asshole side, don't worry !) : I eat cheese, i déguste wine, i enjoy walking alone at night, listening to jazz music while reading beaudelaire, getting to at midnight movie theatre to watch a David Lynch film, getting lost in time in old streets... Wait ! I am still in the XXI century ?
+ I always go to the movies alone, because i'm going to 10 film show per week, so it's a lot, and if you are as cinephile as me, or just curious, i'd be glad to have a cinema partner !
+ it's actually the same thing with exhibition, and going to 4 or 5 per weeks, and i generally go there alone.
+ If you like night life, students parties all around paris, or just hanging out we're meant to be buddies !
+ I'm fond of history, and especially Parisian history, so if you like to hang-out in untouristic streets, the best and cheepear library (with books in french, english, spanish...), go to see old movies in romantic cinemas, read the book that you bought in a hidden park with a beer, and after that we'll visit places where cult films have been shot (Jean-Luc Godard, Woody Allen, Haneke, Paul Verhoeven...) if you take your snack time at 4:20, we're meant to cross our ways :)
Well, if you want to get lost with me, or even just cross our ways, don't hesitate, i'd be glad...
And even if I know how to party, I also know how to be respectful about privacy and intimacy, and I won't be troubling your neighboor with the noise, promise ! s an important question, because we spendt 1/3 of our live sleeping... what do you believe ?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When you live in Paris, you see a lot of tourist from everywhere, but it's frustrating, because you only can call them "tourists", and i'm sure these people have names, stories, and i want to know more about these people and their cultures.
I wanna know about your culture, your way of life, but also hang-out with you guys, and i love to go to live shows, so if you do live music, let's share some music waves ! ;)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once, we've break into a building in construction, get to the top of it, see Paris from above, and enjoying the sunset.
Enjoy simple moment can be amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can "teach" Cinema, philosophie, Paris Story... But i'd Love to learn littérature, music that you like, where you're from... Tell me something I don't Know !
+ i bielieve in Ubuntu : " I am who I am thanks to who we are" ; it's an african notion that force us to realize that we all got something in commun. HUMAN BEING !
And we've got the duty to learn and share from one to another.

What I Can Share with Hosts

With my hosts i can Share : my room, my music, my time (when i get out to Student parties, Cinema, exhibitions, reading...), i can introduce you to french people and eat typicall french food, we can write poetry or read some... Well, im not a complicaded person, I can basically enjoy myself anytime, and always ready to rock n roll !
If you're more a person to rest : let's chill out at home! If you're not : let's get ready to spendt a dreamy night !

(Even if sometimes i do sleep)

There's only one rule : chill out ! No fuss ! Enjoy !
