ABOUT ME

I am a serious person, but I enjoy having party with funny people (laughing is healthy). I love to spend time with my group of friends in Bordeaux, although somtetimes I feel like going and meet new people everywhere. I am a scientist (I had to study maths and physics), but very open minded (well, I guess ^^). I have a big family, and love it ! I hate money, capitalism and luxury. Little things and simple life is what makes me happy, actually.

PHILOSOPHY

Always doing my best in anything, and keep trying.

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." Mark Twain

If you don't have any destination, then it's impossible to get lost...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

After hosting in Paris and here in Bordeaux, I just travelled around the world for five months using CS in many ways, and it's different from going on holidays... Sometimes I create CS events, or I just go and get a coffee or a drink with people who can't host. You shouldn't forget these CS possibilities, it's great !

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have been hosted a lot of times during my trip, always a great experience. I also travelled with people from CS and that was awesome. Travelling is real only if you meet people, otherwise it's just bullshit visiting !

Interests

Music is a real part of my life. Listening to music makes me happy. I like to play the guitar and the piano as well, I'm not an expert, but enough to play.
I like doing sports, especially in the nature : hiking, running, skiing, swimming, surfing, playing football, tennis, squash... Anything with water, or wich makes you sweat and feel better after ^^

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I swam with wild dolphins in NZ, I jumped off a 15m cliff into a river, and I've been stuck several hours in the mountain with another CSer and really thought we were gonna die there. Oh, and I spent 39h on a train (Beijing - Kunming)... On a hard seat !
