Overview
About Me
Hey there!
I'm a french engineering student, doing my final internship in Paris. Expencting holidays to travel again...
I'm quite a simple man, that doesn't need a lot to get to enjoy, or to get interested! I'm interested in meeting people generally, discovering things that I wouldn't even imagine could exist :)
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
It's all about sharing: our culture, our experience, our way of life, but also to build oneself thanks to meeting new faces.
I'm simple and adapt myself to lots of environments, foods, habits! Even if I get sick sometimes.. We can learn a lot of things from anyone.
Better to discover a city, a culture with one of its inhabitants!! Or thanks to his/her advice. Touristic things are pretty good sometimes, and pretty shitty some others. Nothing is better than the point of view from the inside :)
Interests
Sports. I couldn't survive without skiing every year :) I'm very "from the moutains": trekking, chillin in the nature
Music also, I played the violin and try to learn the guitar. I listen to very various type of music
Some serious conversations are great sometimes: history, politic, spirituality... I really like reading too. I am quite interested in social issues, and feel very concerned about the current situation in Europe and Orient...
I am quite spiritual also. I am catholic but I am very interested in spirituality in general. I want to learn, discover other ways to feel it, to make it grow!!
I love going to concerts, grabbing a beer, or go out to the club. I usually go to techno concerts but hey, I'm open!
Talking, exchanging with people, going out!

Music, Movies, and Books
I'm quite "open-eared"...
Depend on the mood: from classical music to techno and in between jazz, good old-fashioned funk ;) Classical music is the best to cure a hangover or to reeeaaaly chill...
I want to discover the sound of japan!!
I play the violin, the piano a little and try to learn the guitar
Books: Kundera, Kafka, Camus, Kessel, Galleano...
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
My first solo trip, from Uruguay to La Paz in Bolivia during one month, after having learnt Spanish in Uruguay. I've discovered so many things...
I've been chief of boyscouts during two years. You can't imagine all that a bunch of 14 years-old boys can teach you about humanity and even yourself! This adventure built what I am today.
What I Can Share with Hosts
Well I don't really know... I couldn't say! It actually depends a lot on you :)
But I think I am quite cultivated. I can talk about the current sociological and political situation of France and Europe, conflicts... But that's quite serious haha!
I want to share all what I have learnt during my short life about how to life in peace and harmony all together. I guess I can say that I just want to share good mood, good vibes... Have a good time!
French cooking from my mother also ;)
