About Me

ABOUT ME

- May 2015 -
Hola ! Elijo para descubrir el Ecuador (y los Andes), y tal vez vivir allí por un momento si encuentro un trabajo ! Hablo un poco español, pero necesito de mejorar mi idioma... It's easier for me to speak in english for the moment but I hope to progress a lot with my spanish this summer !

- Juillet 2014 -
Toujours en vadrouille à la poursuite de mes rêves, je reviens d'Irlande pour passer du temps dans le sud de la France, voir des amis et la famille. Je compte participer à des formations et me consacrer à la méditation, découvrir des formes de spiritualité que j'ai jusque là ignoré..

Hey there,
I'm currently doing an internship in a Kuala Lumpur university. I'm doing socio-anthropological research on Malaysian food and eating habits. I'm here since May until August to enjoy South-East Asian travels' on my free time!

I just continue my studies at the University of Toulouse, in sociology applied to the food habits. Before I crossed Canada by hitch-hicking for 1 year and a half, from Cape Spear to Inuvik.

Je viens de reprendre mes études à Toulouse après avoir fait une pause-voyage d'un an et demi à travers le Canada.

PHILOSOPHY

"Actions speak louder than words"
I think politics is a waste of time. You can't change the world but you can change yourself. If we want make a difference it's start by ourself I think.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I participate in the CS project by providing a couch. Travellers can have an acess to a bed, shower, laundry, meal, friendship... Don't forget to check the "Couch Information" on the right.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I started using CS in Canada by crashing couches. I did CouchSurfing for the first time in Québec at Francois's home. CS enabled me to meet great people and to visit Québec City. My second eCSperience was in Dawson City ; I met Marie-Eve in town and since we became friends. I do it again for a week in Brooklyn with Leif and it was a amazing. Nick hosted me twice when I was in Cape Breton to took a boat and I also met tons of people using CS during their travels.

J'ai utilisé le CS pour la première fois au Canada. Je venais d'arriver à Montréal et je partais sur Québec pour le carnaval. J'ai rencontré François de cette manière, j'en ai gardé un bon souvenir et des amis. J'ai rencontré Marie-Eve à Dawson City quand j'y suis arrivé en hiver, j'ai eu l'occasion de la revoir l'été suivant. Entre temps je m'étais rendu à Terre-Neuve, North Sidney, New-York où j'ai eu l'occasion de faire encore de belles rencontres et de beaux voyages grâce à Leif et Nick notamment.

Interests

I love music, reading, travelling, cooking... I did a radio host and a fanzine in France about hardcore punk music. I'm curious and I like learn about arts, history, nature, sciences, etc.
-
J'aime tout particulièrement la musique, la lecture, les voyages (quand j'ai le cash et le temps...), cuisiner, le sport (le vrai, pas la télé), ciné, séries, etc...

I listen to many rock bands, punk rock, garage and hardcore bands (there would be too much to say...), surf music, post-rock, blues/country/jazz, Brassens, Gainsbourg, the Who, CCR, the Clash, Radio Birdman, the Saints, Caméra Silens, LSD, Leatherface, The Ruts, Dag Nasty, Down To Nothing, Fugazi, Moss Icon...

My favorites authors are Camus, Céline, Saint-Exupéry, John Fante, Jack London, Bukowski, Kundera, Steinbeck, Poe for books and I like comics from Garth Ennis, Alan Moore, Warren Ellis, Powell, Mignola...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Drink some whisky in Dawson City with a true human toe in my glass, then go down the river on my raft
