CURRENT MISSION

J'ai décidé de me déplacer à Paris. Ma première tâche est de faire quelques amis parisiens!

ABOUT ME

I'm going to need to rewrite everything here in French.

PHILOSOPHY

It's still evolving.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

So far I am yet to participate. Initially I won't be able to offer a couch, but if I have any success whatsoever in surfing then I will be sure to pass the favour on as soon as I am able. And of course I'll meet people for coffee! I love (good) coffee!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I guess you'd have to call me a CouchSurfing virgin at the moment!

Interests

I think this'll be quicker if I say what I'm *not* interested in:
• Religious debate (as long as you're living a decent life I don't really mind why you're doing it)
• Cars (Note that this doesn't mean I can't enjoy Top Gear, which first and foremost is about three men with a combined age of 140 and an average mental age of 14)
• Fantasy or Science Fiction (when the real world is no longer unfathomable to me I will consider busying myself with pretend worlds)

However, I reserve the right to find any or all of these things interesting in the name of lulz.

Music, Movies, and Books

MOVIES
Amadeus
Pulp Fiction
The Silence of the Lambs (this is about as close as I get to enjoying horror films)

TELEVISION:
I also need to mention Arrested Development, Seinfeld, The Simpsons, and The West Wing.

MUSIC
David Gray
Jeff Buckley
Lady Gaga
Massive Attack
Oasis
Radiohead
Red Hot Chili Peppers
The Smiths

BOOKS
To Kill a Mockingbird
Slaughterhouse 5
(Although I've started with two novels, these days I don't read fiction at all… But although I prefer non-fiction, few non-fiction titles spring to mind when I think of my favourite books. Weird, huh?)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Flying around three long-extinct volcanoes on Réunion Island in a tiny, two-seater ultralight aircraft. It didn't have any doors, so I was able to lean out of the cockpit and take photos!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm honestly not sure. I just know that I have a broad general knowledge and I can often be called upon to provide a different perspective (even as a devil's advocate). I'll think about it some more and keep you all posted if I think of a better way to answer this part.
