CURRENT MISSION

surviving as a backpacker in the Big East!

ABOUT ME

I am a French exchange student this year at Georgetown University, hoping to visit more parts of America by the end of the year!
As described by some friends, I have a bizarre sense of humor that mixes anything from the Monty Pythons, to the Colbert Report, to jokes inherited from my grand-mother :)

PHILOSOPHY

"A man becomes old when his regrets take the place of his dreams"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm a new member in couchsurfing, but this year as an exchange student provided my with numerous occasions to host friends of friends on my couch, and sometimes to be hosted in that way. My favorite experience in this sense remains the hosting the friend of a friend of a friend in a completely random way, and finally ending up discussing the lifestyle in China until 2 am!

Interests

Music and movies, I try to improve the huge gaps in my knowledge of these!
Learning foreign languages, English, German and Italian, I also plan to bring a book to learn Swedish during my trips!
Talking talking talking about anything :)
Explaining things to high schoolers, an interest I newly discovered this year in an association for DC High Schoolers
