About Me

CURRENT MISSION

London

ABOUT ME

I'm from the south of France and I arrived a few years ago in Paris for my studies. Except for the weather, this city suits me very well.
I'm interested by a lot of things, so I think curious would be the best adjective to describe me. I live my life enjoying my friends and new opportunities.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Some. Mainly hosting people in Paris

Interests

I like walking by and wandering through Paris (I only take the metro when I have no choice), and my pleasure when I go out is to come back by bike (of the bicycle sharing system, the Velib') in the floodlit streets with no cars.

I really love music. I spend a lot of time listening to, and trying to find new artists and new songs. Sometimes my friends call me "DJ Fred" because in parties I'm often in charge of picking the next song and I love sharing the songs I love.

I've started triathlon this year and finished my first one!

I'm really into cinema. I go to the movie theater twice or three times a week. I also like going to art exhibitions.

Last but not least, I like going out in bars and clubs with my friends, but who doesn't?

Music, Movies, and Books

Music
I have various tastes, but at the moment I'm really into electro and house music.
I love a website to discover new stuff (http://letournedisque.com)

Movies
I've seen a lot of recent films, but one of my objectives have a better culture on "the classics".

Series
BREAKING BAD. The Wire. Game of Thrones. Parks and Recreation. Mad Men. The Big Bang Theory. Yeah I'm a bit of a TV shows addict.

Books
I read mostly essays, but I'm trying to read more and more litterature. My favourite writer so far is Houellebecq

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

-spent three months in Ghana in total immersion for a reforestation project
-made a semi-ironman (long distance triathlon)
-sailed from Marseille to Corsica
-switched with my twin brother in class and get the teacher confused
