Hi, I'm Emilien, I'm 24 years old and come from France :)
I've just finished my studies in mechanical engineering which I started in Lyon (France) and continued in Karlsruhe (Germany). I had an incredible time there, I could deep dive into the german culture as well as meet lots of people from different origins! I had the chance to live in a dormitory with incredible people and a wonderful mood. I love to exchange about each others' cultures and experiences, learn about history and geopolitics in foreign countries, and of course have fun together while doing some activities or simply spending the evening together.
Over the last few years I've been travelling more and more and I'm eager to discover new places, new cultures, and of course meet new people. There's nothing better to discover a country or learn about a culture through the eyes of a local!
I also love learning new languages, and after improving a lot my german, I started learning spanish ;)
I play badminton and run a lot, especially in nature (forest, mountain...) , but I also do some volleyball, calisthenics, roundnet, bouldering... and I'm always ready to try some new stuff!
My other free time activities are hiking, cinema, reading, meeting with friends, cooking, travelling or visiting new places... Overall I love doing some outdoor activities and spend time in the nature, whether in the forest nearby or in stunning landscapes during a trip!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I didn't know Couchsurfing before, but I think it's a great way to meet locals during a trip abroad! Moreover, it's a totally different context than talking with people in shops, restaurants, and museums, so the conversations are more neutral and can take a totally different angle, and we can get to deeper topics because we have more time.

So besides offering or being offered a place to stay for the night, it's a wonderful opportunity to get to know new people and different cultures, exchange about respective life experiences, and get an insight about foreign countries and different points of view!

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to a lot of different music genres, but mainly electro, rock, pop, some metal, synthwave, trap, and rap.
I'm also a Star Wars fan (Ep I-VI ;) ) and love cinema! So it would be hard to choose only a few favorite movies.
I'm a lot into comics too, mainly fantasy, adventure and historical stories, some Marvel and DC also! I also like books about various topics like sciences, nature, history, plus from time to time a few classical literature.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I won't have the pretension to say I did extraordinary things in my life, but one memorable experience I had was running a marathon. It was really a very hard run, both physically and mentally, but an incredible moment too! and I can't wait to do it again ;)
