Enthusiastic and always eager to learn new things, I often ask too many questions! I love to talk about history, philosophy, culture, music, sports, or any entertaining subject. I love sports, and I am always down for a hiking or climbing session. I am also a piano jazz player so always willing to do a good jam session too :).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To me, CouchSurfing is not only about making new friends - which is already something great! - but also about sharing ideas. If you are curious and enthusiastic too, if you like to discover hidden places, if you run away from typical touristic places, I would love to meet you and to spend some fun time with you.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books: any type, any author as long as I can learn something new
Movie: too many great movies on this planet to make a small list :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Organizing a conference at my University about the links between Finance and Terrorism (after the terrible events in Paris) and speaking in front of 200 people for a 1/2 hour. I was a little emotional but it was an amazing experience.

I also jumped out of a cab (almost like in the movies, no kidding !) in Lima that I suspected to take me somewhere to rob me.
