About Me

Hi guys !

I'm registering today because I'm starting a new big experience in Australia for one year with the working holiday visa.

I think I'm someone easy-going, cheerful, optimistic and honest. But also: awkward, not very punctual and dizzy.

My mottos in life? There are quite a few: Carpe Diem. Smile to life and life will smile to you! The sky is the limit. There is no problem, only solutions!

And above all, life is short and we have to live it at 200 %.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like experiencing new things. I heard about couchsurfing a long time ago but I never had the opportunity to try it. I guess I will meet great people because the concept is based on people who are open minded, generous and friendly.

When I'll be back in France it will be a real pleasure to welcome you and make you discover my city. But I still don't know where I will be set up after this trip.

Interests

As many couchsurfers, I'm passionate about discovering new countries, new cultures, new friends. I had great experiences within an internship in Vietnam and almost two years ago when I lived 5 months in Madrid as an Erasmus student. I lived also in Manchester for 5 months in 2009 with the willingness to have my first abroad experience and improve my english. There, I was a charity fundraiser, and a door to door seller. Not easy when you don't really speak english! But I really had fun with the mancunians. I think it was the beginning of my interest for trips!

I love sports as well, all in general, and as many european guys, especially soccer. I play it and I used to practice karting when I was in France.

I love poker as well and partying with friends.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm really passionate about music. Sometimes it's like a drug, I can't live without! Above all, I love all the summer festivals. When I'm living one, I start to forget everything! It's even better than holidays close to the sea or in amazing places.
I listen to all kind of music: Electro, Rock, Reggae, Rap, Jazz, Funk, Electro swing, Deep house...The only style I don't really like is hard metal.

I love movies but I'm not keen on series. I don't have the time and I don't know how people manage to see all the seasons of a serie! I guess my favorite movies are: Pulp Fiction, The Fith Element, Fight Club... And many others, french ones but I don't think you gonna know!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Maybe quit all my friends and family to live here??

Teach, Learn, Share

For me, learning and improving yourself everyday is one of my aim in life.

I can teach you French, if you want to, and share my experiences and all the things I love like music and movies.
