About Me

Hi !
After finishing my studies in France in 2011, I decided to go backpacking in South America for 2 months. When I came back in France, I realized I'd got the "travel virus" and decided to find a job in Asia. I then spent 4 and a half years working in & travelling from Hong Kong.
About me : I am very social, I love music and having fun, discovering & understanding new things, and meeting people of course!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Even if I have crashed on many of friend's couch, slept in various dorms, but also hosted in HK many people I met during my travels, I never tried couchsurfing.

I believe you discover a place mostly through the people who live there and know it well. Memories and happy moments are made of people!

Interests

I love listening to music, and of course seing live acts !
Mostly, I'm very curious about new things and always try to travel and meet new people.

Music :
I'm open-minded but mostly listen to Indie Rock + Electro. Some of the bands I really love : Jack White, Future Islands, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Arcade Fire, Elliott Smith, Tame Impala, Bon Iver...

I can't say I have any favorites really, but I do watch a lot of TV shows. I wish I could read more also !
