About Me

ABOUT ME

Hello dear travelers ! Please read my profile until the end before sending me a request (it's not so long, I promise)

I am 25, I work in a game/toy library (called a "ludotheque" in french) and I'm also a teacher for kids and teenagers with difficulties. I have studied sociology at university (i kinda like to understand how a system works, understand what are the motivations of people and all that stuff, you know ?)

I play bass in a folk metal band during my free time, through which I had some great experience in several countries for our concerts. ( if you like savage music you can check Hypocras on Youtube).

I'm also captain in my badminton team (we can go playing if you want).

I live in Geneva since I'm born so I know the city, which place to go (or not to go !). I can show you some good restaurant and bar not expensive (yeah because Geneva is an expensive town !)

I live in a studio, and I have a sofa bed on which you can sleep. It is big enough for 2 people. We will sleep in the same room because it's a one-room flat but there is a small library between the bed and the couch that gives you little intimacy during the night. We will be basically all living in a small place (27m2 i think), that's why i accept people for 2 nights (3 nights max if you are really cool, but dont ask for more than 2 in the request plz !), after this we are too crowded and maybe i'll want to murder you (maybe ?).

I want to be sure that people are okay with this sharing room, that's why i want you to read this profile before sending me a request ! So if you want to stay at my place, you will put the word "CHEESECAKE" in your request, just a way to filter the copy/paste messages and be sure that you have read my profile !

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have been traveling for 1 month in Canada using Couchsurfing and people hosted me very kindly. I want to give people traveling in Geneva what people in Canada offered me.

Interests

I like playing board games small or big (13 hours my longest game, yeah I'm kind of weirdo with games), meet some new people, go have some drink, chat in a bar about life and other stuff and I love good food (if you want to cook something dont hesitate !) I also play Magic the Gathering (this shit cost me lot of money), so take your decks if have some !

I prefer spending time in a quiet place where we can talk, i really dont like club or thing like this. I can go dancing sometimes but i am a bit shy.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm a fan of classical music and metal but basically i am really open and enjoy a lot of stuff: dubstep, acid jazz, shitty beach music in the summer, I'm on !

I'm a huge fan of GRRM's saga "A song of Ice and Fire" (and not "Game of Thrones", but I still like the Tv-show even if thoses bastard killed Stannis.. Anyway).

I dont have particulary favorite type of movie or books, i can enjoy a lot of stuff, I'm open.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Playing a gig in Tokyo with my band in front of thousand people. This shit was epic !
