My name is Leo, I'm a 23yo french geeky sort of person currently living in Paris. I'm currently taking a gap year to keep on volunteering in Paris and Calais with migrants and refugees, and to read about sociology as I'm starting a PhD next September.

About me hmmm. I'm a very open-minded person (didn't see that one coming, did ya) who really loves traveling (this one either booh). I'm also into photography and filming, and arts in general. I like learning languages too, and I'm getting more confident with my English. I'm still working on my German though, because I really suck.

I'm a vegeterian, have been for four years, so I'm always keen on getting new recipes and learning new tricks to avoid animal products! Not a veggie nazi though, I don't care what you're eating as long as you don't care about me not having the same habits as yours.

As for where I've been travelling so far, I went to around 15 countries in Europe, to China, Turkey, Canada, and to the Reunion Island. I'm mostly backpacking by myself, but I enjoy the company of fellow travelers too,

I couchsurfed for a month is Canada, and many times in Europe, and almost always had amazing experiences! I also did some couchsurfing in China. I'm not much of a shy person, but I can get really introvert when traveling by myself, and I like opening up a little bit and sharing stuff with people from all over the world.

PHILOSOPHY

"It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live" thks Dumbledore, i'll remember that

Music, Movies, and Books

I read everything, from William Burroughs to Oscar Wilde, and from Amelie Nothomb to E. E. Cummings. Everything i can find.

I listen to a lot of different kinds of music, mostly Pop/rock, French rap, punk/rock, and electro music.
As for the movies, well I watch so many different things that I couldn't even make a list.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Swimming with hundreds of colorful fish around me has definitely been a great experience, and the fjords in Norway were breathtaking. Biking drunk and stoned at 4am in Amsterdam, sleeping on a beach in Nice and being woken up by a huge storm, cancelling all my plans to go to another country with people I met on a train ...

Teach, Learn, Share

Hmm. I could teach you french if you wanted me to!! I'm into Street Art, so we can go and paint walls together if you're feeling adventurous. I'm not that much of a good cook but I'm learning and trying out new recipies all the time. I can sing and I enjoy learning new things and listening to people so yeay!
