About Me

I was born in a city close to Marseille in France. I grew up there, study there and have my best friends around my home. Even if I live in South of France I had to move for my studies. I learnt playing guitar around fifteen and never stopped practising. I also love sports, almost every kind of sports but my favourites are basket ball and surfing. Basket ball because I like playing with my friends and obviously because I love this game. Surfing is far different to me, it's a way to enjoy somewhere at a moment and I love sensation of surfing. Now I'm ending my studies and I planned with friends to travel around the world, it's both a dream and promess. It's weird to introduce myself by writting on a computer, all I can say is that I like making jokes and laugthing with people (even if in english it's a bit harder for me).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing to meet people who lives where I travel. Most of the time, I traveled as a common tourist. I used to visit places like a kid in a museum instead of spending time and exchange with local people. It's a pity because I probably skipped many beautiful and unknown places and missed some friendships. Lately it's seems important to me to share ideas and way of living with other open minded people.

Music, Movies, and Books

Let's start with Music. I love the sound of Colplay and U2 but there are a lot of other artists I listen to, from the Guns n'Roses to Dire straits and a lot of pop punk musik from the last decades.
About films, it's hard to select one or two, but I would say Will hunting( because I like Matt Damon) Galdiator, but the one I like the most is Cloud Atlas.
Concerning books I loved Martin Eden (Jack London), Night flight (A. De Saint Exupéry) and The African equation (Yasmina Khadra)
