Overview
About Me
I am 26, born and raised in Paris. I did my postgraduate studies in Grenoble (near Lyon) and finished them in Newcastle, UK where I had a lovely Erasmus year.
Since then I have been playing poker and living in different places : Gibraltar, Andalucia, Paris and now Budapest.
I play poker to save money and make a project come true, doing a one year "world trip" : it would start in Rio de Janeiro and finishes in Thailand.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Because I need a place to sleep over. Jesus.
...
More seriously, I have heard a lot about it and I haven't tried it yet although I traveled quite a lot. So I want to try this way of traveling and meeting local and international people.
Interests
Poker, obviously. This is my passion and what my brain is on 70% of the time. I do a lot of mathematical and statistical study to improve (yes, poker is not just luck and cowboy staring. Its way more boring than we think...).
The other 30% are split on : sports like going to the gym (big Insanity fan if you know), football. I like going out, have a few drinks and dance.

Music, Movies, and Books
My favorite music ? It changes every 3 days but currently "Viices, Made in Heights" https://goo.gl/Mr5bpn
Favorite Movies ? I just love romcoms. I know, shame on me. I recommend "In Your Eyes". http://goo.gl/afnoOt
Favorite books ? They are about poker.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Back flip off the bridge in Barcelona.
It didn't look quite as awesome as I thought it was on the video though...
Teach, Learn, Share
I am a poker coach as well, so I can teach you how to make a million at this game. Or how to not lose money...
Probably football, tennis and fitness/running as well, but I would not be as confident.
Oh, I could also share my experience in the web marketing environment ; not sure it sounds as appealing though...
