About Me

CURRENT MISSION

1 mission : discover other places, people and ways of life.
Many ways to reach these objectives, but one major : travelling

ABOUT ME

With my family, we often moved house when I was young, and now I can't imagine my life staying in the same place for more than a few years !

About my personality : calm and discrete, I can become very communicative, expressive and funny if I appreciate somebody. I try to always see life by its positive side.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Several hosts in India, it was an amazing experience ! Maybe it's less luxuous than in a hostel, but I had real and friendly contacts with families which hosted me. I also hosted several people in Montpellier.

Interests

I do sport activities like cycling, sailing, fitness,... I'm also fascinated by the world of aeronautics.
One thing I also appreciate is to watch the stars. When I'll have money for, I would like to buy necessary equipment to do nightscape photography.
Otherwise having the equipment to improve my electro music mixing skills (mostly house and techno ).

Music, Movies, and Books

Books : Put a book in my hands, and i'll read it (most of the time), without favorite kind.

Musics : classical (Dvoràk, Lully...), rock (Linkin Park, Muse...), electro obviously (Deadmau5, Kölsch, Worakls, Paul Kalkbrenner...), hip-hop (Eminem, Mobb Deep,...), etc. I don't have preferences, for me the most important thing with music is to find a melody which expresses emotions.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A cycling roadtrip alone in Languedoc, France, during 2 weeks. Awesome !

Teach, Learn, Share

For me, couchsurfing is very interesting because of numerous aspects ; firstly it's free, and to be honest, for poor people like me, it's important^^. It's also a good way to find honest people, who aren't in a self-serving approach of hosting. And finally, I think it's a fabulous way to stimulate exchanges between travellers and local people. Even couchsurfing is free, all concerned people will be richer after they met ! What could be better ? :-)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Do you like french cheese and wine ? I can bring you some of this 😉.
More seriously I appreciate to share with my host, and learn from them about their city and way of life. I will always be happy if they propose me to do any kind of activity.
