About Me

Mostly calm and level-headed I am also a fun loving and outgoing individual. I love meeting new people and sharing stories from all over the world. I live with a flatmate in a nice appartment in Paris. I practice Brazilian jiu jitsu nearly every day.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Staying in hotels is great but it empties the wallet and you miss out on so many opportunities to meet knowlegeable and great people. Getting to meet people is my favorite way of getting to know a country.

Music, Movies, and Books

I work in the gaming industry, it prevents me from having too much time for anything else =(
This said, when I have some spare time I love to read in French and in English (I have recently had a great time with _Americanah_, by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie) or to go to the movies (recently _Parasite_ and _Midsommar_).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have been the French champion in Brazilian jiu jitsu (twice). Even my mother does not believe it.
I have also biked all the way to the Netherlands and back home.

Teach, Learn, Share

Part of my work as a journalist is to proofread my coworkers articles and make sure there are no grammar or spelling mistakes, so i can help with French grammar (I am no French teacher though). I used to work in a videogames magazine, so I know a bit about this field, mostly about the indie scene, which is pretty interesting.
I am pretty curious about anything.

What I Can Share with Hosts

We love to share a meal or a beer whenever it's possible. If you arrive when I have some spare time I can show you some of the hidden gems of Paris.

Countries I’ve Visited

Belgium, Brazil, England, Estonia, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Russian Federation, Scotland, Spain, United States
