About Me

Hello everybody!

I live in Paris with my girlfriend, Pauline, and who are both engineers. I work in the the construction (you know, concrete, steel, bribes... shouldn't say that...) and she works in transports.

We live in the 13th district of Paris (the "13ème arrondissement" if you want to improve your french! I know you tried to say it. Yeah, I heard your shitty accent from my couch...). This district is lovely, because of its bars, its life, its theaters and museums...

But we are forever and ever travellers, and that's why we move a lot in Europe especially. And not a lot outside of Europe, because of money especially!

We speak french (yes yes I swear), english and spanish with an andalous' accent. I tried to learn German, that was a terrible fail. My bad.

So now a little section on Pauline because she's just behind me crying for recognition... She made an erasmus in 2016 in Spain, Granada during 6 months. Obviously, I went to visite her but yes, yes Pauline I stop speaking about me. She lived with 9 other erasmus guys in her house so yeah, she likes meet people and speak english/spanish.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Like everybody here, isn't it? Something like travel, meet people. This field is boring, no?

Actually, I will say here that the best way to discover a country is when you learn its culture and its lifestyle from his inhabitant. Eat, drink, go out with them, sleep on their couch or plant your tent in their garden if you can, but you will learn so many about them when you live like them.

That's why I'm on Couchsurfing.

Interests

Circus (I'm a jonggler and I split fire), movies, cooking (and eating of course), going out in the bars, travelling when I have holidays and money, reading, tennis, ... I can go on a long time like that.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

We went to Nicaragua for an internship of 2 months. We had to find 900$ during the year before our trip in order to pay the construction. We were host by a family and we build a house for a poor family.

If you read my description before, I didn't learn spanish in school, so I went in a country where nobody speak english without knowing their language... and finaly, that was a great experience, and we discovered a country not very famous in Europe (not like Costa Rica or Mexico). People were often very kind with us and helpfull.
