About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Look at the world from different perspectives, from different cultures

ABOUT ME

Where could I start if I don't even completely know who I am...? This is already tricky question.

Well, I could also take an entire day to describe myself, but you would get bored after 30 seconds and then go see another profile...

I like meeting new people, new horizons and new culture, but also taking time for myself when I can isolate myself! Paradoxal right? But this is what travelling allows: you can do both.

I'm in my last year of studies at university and I felt I needed to do something big before "allowing" myself to enter the world of routine/job :P.

Apart from that, I was really into high level mountain biking competition before, my favorite color is blue, I have a cat called Moustique, and I like pubs, I really do... but that... you don't really care right :P!

PHILOSOPHY

I don't know who I am, but I know what I am not. Life will do the rest

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm completely new to this concept!! I'm heading to Portugal on April 14th and will experience it for the first time. I've heard so many nice things about this that I want to give it a try.

Interests

Well, I simply have to say that I like to discuss everything and look to find and learn about new horizons, cultures, ways to think!

  • cats
  • culture
  • coloring
  • cooking
  • pub crawls
  • traveling
  • cycling
  • cave diving
  • scuba diving
  • skiing

Music, Movies, and Books

There are too many to enumerate, so I'll give a short list:

Movies: Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Fight Club, Ronin, The Deer Hunter, The Hurt Locker, Taxi, The Darjeeling limited, C.R.A.Z.Y. ... and so many more

Books: La part de l'autre (Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt), A song of ice and fire (George Martin), Les Fourmis (Bernard Werber), Foundation (Isaac Asimov) are examples. I especially like fantasy fiction, fiction, politics and psychology essays.

Music: Rock, 60's 70's Rock, classical, opera, old school rap (end of 80's to beginning of 21st century), jazz, electro jazz, indie, crooners, blues, reggae...

groups that I'm listening at the moment: Quantic, Tallest man on earth, Empire of the sun, Johnny Mathis, Andy Williams, Gorillaz, El fudge

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Cave diving in the Yasawas Islands, Fiji
Skiing in the Alps
Mountain biking in Portugal

Teach, Learn, Share

The things I could teach are unusual. I could show you how to ride a mountain bike down a mountain at 50 km/h, how to cook french canadian omelettes or to study the less while getting the best possible results. But would you really have the time or the will to do it :P?

More seriously, I like to share my experiences, learn about things I didn't know that existed, or improve myself by seeing the differences and similarities of others. I also like to get into discussions about modern society and philosophy!

Countries I’ve Visited

Australia, Cuba, Fiji, France, Germany, Portugal, Spain, United Kingdom, United States
