About Me

I'm a French guy, 32 years old, who love traveling and meeting people above all things. I live in Paris and work in a Software company as a sales account manager. I wish to change my job and become Teacher of History when I get bored of my routine.

I've the chance to travel in many countries and I've worked in London and North Africa for few years. well, I use to talk so much so let's meet to share good times !

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm always traveling to meet people and discover different cultures. And the best spot for me is to share the daily life of people I meet. So we can exchange on our personnal experiences and backgrounds better. Human beings is so different in many ways around the globe, but we always find what we have in common in the beauty of life.

I'd like to come sharing a little of my life with and tell you stories and pictures about places I visited or from my country. Same thing if I receive people in Paris, I'd like to show them how we live here excaping from the tourist straight lines.

A Wise man said once: Living out of the Travel is like dying slowly...

Interests

I'm very curious about History, Geography, sociology and I use to read a lot before traveling. I like simple things of life, playing football with friends or strangers, spending times with family and friends around a big dinner I prepare for them :)

In daily life I like playing Football and spending times in Parisian Coffea with my friends. Paris is a capital with a lot of cultural spots like museum and theatre. we are very blessed to get close to a multicultural environnement.

Music, Movies, and Books

It's very hard to choose one book or movie out of the many I'd loved and the many I'd loved to read, Watch or listen.

but to be short, I like Jack London's and Amin Malouf's book, espacially Samarcande. History and Sociology main writters are also my favourite source of knowledge and inspiration.

The cinema is more difficult, I Watch a movie each 2 days but I can say the 90's was my best period. essentially US movies (Scorsese, Tarantino, Coppola, etc)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I don't have a adventurous life, nothing amazing.
ah maybe, I host a chinese student I meet in the University for 6 months, he didn't speak English or french and we communicate with hands, smile and foods. he was student in a Fashion School in Paris but until now I don't get how he managed to assist courses LOL.. at least we laught a lot and learned how to cook the food of each others.

One year after I spent 2 weeks in China because I was very curious about is culture and way of life.
