About Me
ABOUT ME
I'm a really curious person so what interests me best in life is discovering people or places i do not know. I'm lucky enough to have travelled a lot those last 10 years, at first with my parents then on my own, with some friends. I like simple things like reading a nice book, listening to music, watching a good movie, going have a drink with friends ... I'm tolerant,open minded, and probably funny too - even though I might be a bit shy at first (it disapears very quickly don't worry !)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
In May 2012 I spent a week in Stockholm with two of my friends. It was awesome ! We stayed in a little flat near the city (at Gustavsverg) and it was so much cooler than staying in a hotel !
Then last July when I was desperately looking for a cheap accomodation in Adelaide on gumtree and stuff, I posted an ad on couchsurfing and 10 minutes after that Vanessa and Alex offered me to stay at their place during 6 months. Now i'm telling everyone how amazing is Couchsurfing cause it made me meet the coolest housemates ever.
Finally, in October i was looking for someone to travel with me to Uluru and I met Mona on couchsurfing and our trip was fantastic.
Couchsurfing is pretty much my solution to everything now :)

Music, Movies, and Books
Lately i've read The Great Gatsby that became one of my favorite books ever. Concerning cinema, i'm really fond of Woody Allen's movies and I love most of the French movies, above all those with a stupid and absurd sense of humour.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
When i went to India 4 years ago I was host by the Dalai Lama's (I met him too!!!)cook to whom I taught how to cook "crepes". Two days after, the Dalai Lama was food poisonned: I'll never know if it was because of my crepes' recipe :D
Teach, Learn, Share
I could teach you how to make a very good chocolate cake or an excellent tiramisu, maybe most of basics in French cuisine ! I also could teach you some nasty words in French - which is often a funny experience !
I'd like to learn about the country where I stay, I guess this is already a vast thing !
