(As of December 2014) I'm a 26 years old French guy going to California State University of Long Beach till May. I've been living in Long Beach for a couple months now.

I'm a Computer Scientist planning on working in the Valley after my studies. I'm one of a few who can say they love what they do!

I love travelling. I enjoy festivals and concerts. I love reading. I like soccer too, though where I'm from we call it football :D But I like football too (which we call American Football. This is crazy.) I'm a pretty down to earth kind of guy.

Did I mention I LOVE cooking and baking? I can do a mean carrot cake, a mean "blanquette de veau" and pretty much love to please others with my cooking skills.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A friend and I went to New York City from Los Angeles by car for the Holidays. We didn't plan anything on the way except places we wanted to see. But no hotel, no motel, no nothing. We're were relying totally on our car, our tents, and friendly people! We met 2 awesome people through CS and would love to meet more in the future.

Back in Long Beach, we have a really nice appartment that we share with 4 others (1 French guy, 1 French girl, 1 German girl and 1 american guy, + ourselves). We have 3 couches and more than enough space to host people! You're welcome to ask, anytime :)

Interests

Music. I play guitar, at least 30 minutes a day, up to 3-4 hours sometimes.
I love reading. I always say my favorite book is the last one I read (so right now it's Cloud Atlas :3).
I love travelling too. Love cooking. Photography aswell!

Music, Movies, and Books

Coldplay is up there for me. I fell in love with their music as soon as I saw them live in 2012. I'm not picky though and I like every kind of music from Radiohead to Eminem, to Daft Punk, Pink Floyd, Orelsan, IAM (French Hip Hop)...

There are a lot of movies I love but the list can seem weird... See, I love these movies more because they spoke to me at a certain time in my life and not because they are master pieces... They're just special to me and I won't argue some of them might be childish/pretty bad. So here are some of them : Love Actually, Girl Next Door, Lost in Translation, Into the Wild, The Spanish Apartment, Whip It!, The Butterfly Effect, A Lot Like Love, Inception, Black Swan, Interstellar, Drive... OK I'm gonna stop there it's getting embarrassing.

Books... I love books. I have a great collection back home. My favorites so far are The Perks of Being a Wallflower and probably the Millenium serie.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I lost 120 pounds in 10 months.
I traveled from Los Angeles to New York by car in 10 days (+/- 6 hours of driving per day).

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach you to cook and bake, to play guitar, to speak French! Some programing also if that's your cup of tea :p

I'd like to learn about the best places you've ever been to. I'm always interested in others cultures and would be happy to learn some of your customs aswell!
