I'm Axel, a French guy living in Paris and working in digital learning and cognitives sciences, so yeah that has something to do with the brain. I am 24, and I want to live as much experience as possible !

I'm thinking about a retraining in musical theatre, that is why I am heading to Guildford this summer, to take a summer course in Musical Theatre at GSA.

I don't know if you heard about the MBIT test which is a personality test, but I think that's a pretty nice way to introduce yourself, all the more when you agree with the test's results !
According to my results, I am an ENFP/ENTP. I love my freedom, when my mind wanders in the farthest places , I love to meet new people, I am enriched by other people's experience and I try to offer my life experience in return. I also like to develop new ideas and make a plan of how to make them concrete !

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel, but more than that I love to meet new people, to evolve with them, share, and see the world through their eyes.

Interests

I am eclectic, I like many things, even the activites I usually don't like can be fun when they are done with people you like ! We can say that I like to do stuff as long as I am with other people ! That is hell of a precise answer, I know ;)

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite band is M83.
My two favorite movies are American Beauty and Cloud Atlas. Pretty sure I have a third best movie but I can't remember what
I don't have any favorite books for the simple reason that I don't read as much as I used to...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went on stage in front of hundreds of people when I was four and I sang a song from Alizée all by myself ^^ Never heard of her ? She used to be a famous singer in France...

Actually I think I did some cool things (who never did ?) but I don't know where lies the boundary between the cool and the amazing stuff ^^

Teach, Learn, Share

Regarding the teaching: I was a 9th grade pupils' tutor when I was 20, which means I would organize activities with them (acting class, debates, culture quizz) in order to open their mind to topics there are not used to deal with (environment, religion, human rights...).

I'm also preparing the BAFA (diploma for youth leaders and workers), I'd like to promote performing arts to children, to get them to know the stage :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I think I am quite funny but from an European point of view, and maybe you guys don't have the same kind of humor, well at least we could share our humor !
I could share my knowledge in terms of music, acting, improvisation, my opinions about the world, the future, about sciences...
I love to share my philosophy of life, which changes a little bit with every encounting...
We could share our cooking skills, I could make you discover my culture and products from my country...
And more ! :)
