PHILOSOPHY

- I always remember this quote (from christopher colombus... the context was a bit different for him I guess, and I can't guarantee it's actually from him) "we never go so far as when we do not know where we go". Im trying to be the most spontaneous I can be, trying new stuff all the time to enrich my life of discoveries, meetings, conversations.
- People change. It's interesting to try to fit in a new environment and different people, be flexible and see what happens. I think doing couchsurfing made me more tolerant and easy-going.

Interests

Interested in travels of course, which means tasting the country's typical food, its culture, its activities... Beside that I love to go to the cinema, new technologies, music, but mostly discovering new things and traveling around everytime the opportunity shows up !

Music, Movies, and Books

List is loooong ! I'm interested in lot of different styles of music, especially british music (rock, etc.) and electro music.. My favourite writers are a mix of french, british, scandinavian and american writers. Im also interested in any kind of movies, from blockbusters (Dodgeball is mythic) to art-house movies.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The few months I spent in London in 2008 was definitely a turning point in my life. I met millions of people. lived with 6 mates from all around the world and it completely changed my way of life...

I then had he chance to have a lot of amazing things done :
- I spent 2 weeks traveling by myself in the US West Coast when I was 22, from SF to Seattle via Portland, and did couchsurfing everynight.
- Did couchsurfing in Saint-petersburg in winter with the frozen temperature and learnt to drink vodka properly (and few words of russian).
- Traveled through south-east asia with a friend for 3 weeks, on a budget, and it was totally crazy, we just followed whatever we wanted to do every day.
