ABOUT ME

I am 30 year old french guy who loves understanding cultures and create meaningful relationships with people.

I have a degree in energy and environmental sciences and work for a non profit organization to develop sustainable development plans for cities.

I am a really happy and dynamic person, and interested in a lot of things ^^. I like to exchange with people, to laugh and to have fun. I am also very respectful and helpful with every kind of people.

PHILOSOPHY

Happiness come almost entirely from what you get from your relationships with people, and very few from material considerations.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I hosted and was hosted a few times, although I would like to participate more that way. However I have regularly participated to CS meetings in different countries including France.

I did a lot of language exchanges to learn german and spanish.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

To host and to be hosted were great experience and I definitely plan to do it more intensively in a close future ^^
However I did participate in a lot of meetings and met a lot of people thanks to CS.

Interests

Talking with people, in foreign language or not! and I like to travel and find myself in funny situations...so a little bit adventurer.
and like everyone here, I love traveling and learning about other cultures ;)

Playing music: I have played music since more than 15 years: trombone, drums and now mostly the electric guitar. I have played in different bands and in an orchestra. I like to play any kind of music with people, anywhere where there are good vibes. :)

sports: I practice mostly for fun, sports like ski and snowboard and dances (brasilian forró, African dances, hip hop).

I am interested in ecology, and from my background I know pretty well the intensity of threatens for the environment! So I try to do something at personal scale (transports, food...), and also participate as a volunteer for associations in the fields ecology and citizenship. I also have a strong interest for other fields: economics, politics, sociology, philosophy...and want to work for more equality in this world!
