About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Figuring out the way I should live my life

ABOUT ME

I am a friendly, passionate guy who wants to share and meet new people. I might seem kind of shy at first (I hate feeling I'm annoying people) but do I love hanging around with people. I definitely enjoy having goods laughs with friends, spending time with them and having fun. A good cold beer with friends in a pub, that's what it's all about !

Still a student. I've had trouble looking for what I want to do, but now I think I've got it !
Been in an engineering school for a few years, but decided to do something completely different and study cinema.

I'm quite an active guy. I need to play sports, to go and see museums and nice places, to travel, etc. I don't like to stay at home and do nothing. I need to do something useful, I don't like wasting my time.

PHILOSOPHY

Trying not to lose any time and make every day count. Trying to evolve and feel more accomplished everyday.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

On and off. Tough question. I mostly host people, since it's been a while I've not travelled.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I hosted quite a few people in Paris, it was fun. I met some great friends over there. I haven't started yet in Toulouse.

Interests

Very passionate about cinema. Movies make me think and live like nothing else. It's part of who I am and how I live.
I also can play and talk about sports for hours.
