Hello I'm Émile, a French student studying a double degree in Daejeon, South Korea. I am travelling in Korea and Japan during this year because I'm so interested by the people and culture there. The idea of living like a local with joyful people to share our experiences is something I'm seeking for :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To live like a local with the locals and not like a tourist trapped in a hotel surrounded by others tourists. Authenticity is the word!

Interests

I'm passionated about sociology and arts, mostly movies, music and comics. Aaand movies. I'm watching movies and studying movie's history every day, mostly japanese, korean and US movies. I think it is one of the best way to understand mentality of a certain year while watching the movies produced during these days, such as the combined influence of JFK's murder and Vietnam broadcasted images on 70's US movies.
Anyway, I have others subjects too, so don't worry ;) I'd be happy to learn about your passion as well
