Hey,^^

My name is Florent, i'm a student in economy and management in Geneva, i'm fond of music literature and outdoor experiences such as skiing or trekking.

My major experiences of travel were in Morocco and Nepal. I'm half morrocan so every time I've been there had a special meanning to my heart, seeing people smiling and laughing despite poverty was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. Nepal was for me a deep shock, facing Himalaya was incredible, people were amazing.

I've spent the last ten years in classical music curriculum at the conservatory, for a long time I was hopping to make a living as a piano teacher but finally, I quitted it and began university .I kind of love the diversity of horizons offered by university and the cultural background brought by it.

(Here's some videos I registered at conservatory^^: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCF3SYzCaxPXMyrUr6qKZj1g/videos)

I love to smile, meet people and laugh with them ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm just here to share my smile and meet people which could make me discover an other way of seeing the world by spending time together, discussing and maybe playing music together !

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

This is not a crazy story but... I often played in piano bar's last year however I wanted to quit this job because of many reasons (like the customer aprehension of jazz, the stingy boss, ...). Therefore, the last time I've played in the place, I just played what I wanted during 3 hours with a saxophonist friend. From Schubert to Cole Porter, I had my best musical moment in this bar, just living the music and sharing it with a friend.

Otherwise travelling in Nepal and Morocco were the greatest adventure... just by meeting other cultures and way of living and being in the middle of splendid landscape.
