I'm a French student of an engineering school close to Paris, but I'm also an inexperienced traveler that just discovered he could actually travel like he wanted to, when he wanted to (almost..) !
I don't know you yet, but I hope we will meet soon !

tldr :
Music (piano, guitar), reading (not enough), watching movies, climbing, IT and geek.
Learning, discovering!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm willing to travel and meet interesting and local people.

It's a shame I cannot host someone in my student accommodation, I don't even have a couch in my room, but I know one day the tables will turn and I'll be glad to welcome couchsurfers.

Interests

I love discovering things, do you know TED conferences? (if you don't, go check them) I used to watch many of them. I would like to say that I'm interested by philosophy but I usually don't read the tones of philosophers books I buy..

I'm a proud geek: not too much invested in one specific field but following many different technologies. Trying a bit everything.
I used to be a gamer (AoE, NFS, CSS, HL1&2, Tekken3, Far Cry 3), but now I buy games and I don't take the time to play them. Too bad.

I really enjoy climbing: despite my relative inexperience outdoor, I have a quite honest level indoor (6a). I also like hiking in the mountains and I am eager to discover others mountains than the Alps.

I played the (classic) piano in a conservatoire for almost 10 years but I stopped (I was 16 and the authority was quite difficult to accept at the time), now I play the guitar (to sing along) and I do jazz improvisations at the piano.

I like to party with friends, but clubs are not my favorite places to party.
I'd like to become an entrepreneur.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm a big cinema fan, I enjoy various types of movies : from auteur films to American blockbusters. I can "endure" 3h of foreign inactions (Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter... and Spring), 2h of interesting drama (Lost in translation), 1h and half of American comedy (from Silver lining play book to The Shop around the corner, or It Happened One Night). I start to know many different styles of cinema and will be glad to discover new ones!

Music: I started my education with classical music and I envoy it, but I don't really listen to it often anymore. There are (sadly enough) many hits in my playlists, but I like to vary the styles I listen. You can find me one spotify by the way (deterralba), that's the easiest way to discover what I listen.

I would like to read more, but... I don't. Damn, why !?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbing in the Alps, and also the "classes preparatoires" in France (very hard years to prepare competitive examination for engineering schools).

Finding my girlfriend!

Well that makes 3 amazing things...

Teach, Learn, Share

Well I'm not sure what I'm supposed to say here. I'll be glad to speak about "big ideas" with you (political systems, mathematics and physics, philosophy). I'll be glad to share music and cinema with you.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My curiosity !
Music also (but I don't know how to improvise with a guitar.. I'll be glad to be initiated).
Climbing, mountain or Japanese stories.

Well... whatever you want that won't kill me
