About Me

******************************************************************************************
(IMPORTANT)
Hey there !

Make sure you READ MY PROFILE (Including My Home section) & send a PROPER MESSAGE if you want me to read your request!

Cheers
******************************************************************************************

ABOUT ME :
Well well
- Newly graduated engineer
- Extremely passionate
- Very dynamic & up for either partying or having one of those long talks about history, philosophy, politics, religion, social issues or whatever ..
- I have several different roots & that's probably what made me love to travel & discover others' ways of life, cultures ..
- My friends say I have a good sense of humor, so I should probably believe so :D !

Last but not least, I have a lot of hobbies & I love diversity.

PHILOSOPHY

- I believe in the human being & I'm not close (at all) to religion but I love to read & talk about it.
- I'm really hard to upset, I feel that I have reached a certain balance in my life that made me somehow let go, work quietly on some long term goals without losing my spontaneity ! I learnt to enjoy simple things, think and talk wisely, I learnt when to be and not to be that crazy Frenchy, to adapt to different circumstances ! I feel happy & I'm waiting for my next life adventures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would really love to bring my experiences from travelling, living, and learning to those around me, & I enjoy being an ambassador of the "French way" & more specifically of my city.
In the coming years, I'm going to travel more and more...so I would really love to be able to have a lot of souvenirs with those I encounter. I started hosting since November 2014, and now I sometimes have full CS agenda for more than a week, I try to sustain the idea that couchsurfing is not just about traveling cheap, but it requires some social skills that we can't possibly enjoy a stay without, so beware that I'll definitely read all your profile before writing you back :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've met nice guys in Croatia during the summer 2013, it's amazing when you just say hi ! try to catalyze the conversation and then spend hours & hours talking & joking as if you always knew the CSer ! I've also met a lot of CSer in in many other places..
One of my best experiences was in Leiden, where the CS community was more of a family sharing countless activities ! smiling, awesome and welcoming people that made my 6 months priceless & memorable ! & now I've hosted so many people, from people discovering Couchsurfing, to crazy travelers, it's always been from good to perfect !

& withing 6 weeks of backpacking around the Baltic Sea I managed to surf & to meet a lot of other awesome couchsurfers !

Interests

Graphic desigh, exhibitions, party, culture, water-polo, nature, intellectual talk, thrills, movies, music, EDM, festivals, wonderful landscapes, art, dancing ..

Music, Movies, and Books

Music : Open to pretty much everything (but still can't listen to Rap on my iPod)
Movies : Mainly fantasy & Science fiction, movies where you have to be careful to details to understand the end, & pretty much everything else except police routine ..

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I think one of the most amazing experiences I had in my life was a bungee jumping in the highest BJ bridge in France, I will never forget the sensation I had the second I stepped into the void.

Update : I met a crazy couchsurfer in Warsaw that had this idea about going to a festival through the Wisla river, so we built a raft in less than 24 hours and used it for 120km to get to the festival city, stopping in lost villages to refill our drink & food supplies, stopping randomly in the middle of the night to camp in sandy islands ... 4 crazy days on that baby-raft !

Teach, Learn, Share

Well, I can teach some tricks in photography, graphics, the sports I practice, some French or Spanish cooking tips ..
& I'll be ready to learn whatever the person offers

What I Can Share with Hosts

I started hosting more and more lately and every time, I had a whole different experience and activities, drinks, parties, lights festival, movies, cooking, photography, deep and long conversations about interesting subjects, video games ... it's usually improvised & it has always been awesome so far !
