CURRENT MISSION

Travelling! One year round the world, from the Himalya to the Australian desert, up to the West American coast and back to Paris through China and Russia

ABOUT ME

Ah, that's always a hard one! People say I'm adventurous and crazy because I left everything back home to travel one year but I would say it's more that I wanted to see the world before to settle somewhere even if the whole thing scares me a lot. I am a happy person who like to look positively at the life an enjoy discussing for hours (my Parisian background) but I can also be quite contemplative and quiet, reading books and looking to documentaries on old actors and films' directors for hours.

PHILOSOPHY

I think it's still in progress but at least be kind to people around me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

For the moment, I couldn't host anyone since I have no home anymore for a few more months but I guess I will be happy to participate that way as soon as I get one.

As a guest, I would be of course happy to participate to the daily tasks of my hosts like cleaning etc.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None so far.

Interests

Sport: I run regularly, it relaxes me and it's a good way to thing about solution to a lot of problems. I swim a lot and I love being into the water, I started to surf and do some snorkelling when I was in Australia a few months ago. I a currently starting skateboarding as a urban alternative to surf.

Reading: novels from everywhere. In original version if possible (French, English and German).

I am quite flexible regarding music but looking at my spotify account, I would definitely say that there is a lot of rock. When doing something manual at home, even cleaning, I love listening to classical music and quiet music like the Radio Dept, Beach House, Pallers.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A two months long roadtrip in Australia with two people I hardly know a few days before the beginning of the trip. We went from Melbourne to Exmouth and back to Perth and it was amazing how much happiness we felt all along the road.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love being able to express myself in foreign languages. I'm happy to bring my knowledge in French/English/German.

Cooking is always a pleasure and need people to share the result with!
