Overview
About Me
I am currently a part-time student. That means that I skip all classes that I find boring, and I can tell you there are hell lots of it ! But the master I newly began in geography is actually very interesting, even though I might change (yes, my logic is unquestionable).
Other than that, I share a flat with 5 perfect babies, having a wonderful time in Geneva for "studies", even if I grew up in Canton de Vaud (cities such as Lausanne, Vevey).
I am a super enthusiastic person, usually in a good mood, very curious about stuff in general, particularly food from all around the world; I grew up in a food culture (french father, senegalese mother), so you won't be talking to me for 5 minutes without us digging into that paramount topic ! I love walking, like seriously, I can get excited about sport for 5 month and then never do it again, but walking never bores me, always discovering new paths, new skies, new people...
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I would rather discover world from local people than from the touristic sight the government has planned for you. Show me crazy awesome stuff and I will follow you everywhere (also I was taught not to speak to strangers when I was a kid, which prevented me from knowing a bunch of great people, I am sure today!)
Interests
- walking
- traveling
- language exchange
- learning languages
- discovering new philosophies
Music, Movies, and Books
Movies, my god, I have watched more movies in my life than actual stuff happening in the streets (which is both creepy and speaking volume about my passion for visual culture). I have a lot of favourite music, books and movies so quoting a few will only tell you about the me now, but maybe tomorrow I would have chosen a very different selection.
Movie : King and the Clown, best movie ever, south korean, just, just go watch it folks
(lately I discovered this movie, Captain Fantastic, and really enjoyed it)
Books : Mémoires d'Hadrien, César from Carratini (I love history, like it equals my love for food...ok maybe not that much but still), Novecento-pianist, Poisson-Scorpion, recently re-read some books from Frantz Fanon that really struck me again, then I also love reading plays (Molière is a sole author of it's kind)
Music : hard question, I can really listen to everything, depends also very much on the mood. I can enjoy as much Chopin Nocturne as a good beat from Major Lazer ! I've been to Sziget Festival in Budapest this summer 2017 and also got to listen to a bunch of new sets that excited me, plus went to Berlin for the first time also this year and met electro, techno, disco scene that I thought I hated before
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
One ? Among them all, pardon me, I would not know what to choose my dear. I guess getting up every day and actually leaving the best place on earth (my bed) is quite an amazing exploit, wouldn't you agree ?
