About Me

ABOUT ME

I'm quite new in couchsurfing but I'm already use to the hostels in a lot of places in Europe. Obviously, I love to travel : one of my dream destination is Argentina. I'm a huge fan of cinema, wich was my major at college, and I'm also interested in writing, photography, history and more generally all kind of human sciences.
I'm from Paris but I'm living currently in Brussels for which I fell in love. If I love the energy of europeans cities, I'm enjoying breaks with friends in the countryside. A good movie or book, a nice and contemplative walk followed by a pleasant dinner with many friends are the things I enjoy the most.
I'll be happy to meet you and to discover your country and your lifestyle !

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now, I unfortunately wouldn't be able to welcome you. But I'm available to have a moment with you to take a drink or make you visit the Brussels I love.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couchsurfed for the first (and unique) time in January 2013 during a one month trip in California. It was a truly amazing and thrilling experience. Couchsurfing really change my traveling perspectives and I just want to do it again in my next trips.

Interests

I spend a lot of time watching movies and readind books. But, hopefully, my friends are here to bring me back to reality, having with them passionate and sometimes pretentious debates about the meaning of life, or, more modestly, about the tastiest colour of m&m's (no doubt, it's the red one)... Also, I love making photos, so be aware, if our paths cross one day, you can be sure i will keep an image of you !
Moreover, I love to cook, eat and drink : beer, wine, italian, indian, japanese... I never say no to a good dinner which is for me an essential way to discover a culture and to share with people.
Regarding sports, I like to bike, hike and dance. I did a little bit of climbing, and I'm attracted by scuba diving.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Walk in the bright streets of Havana, watch the green flash in Venice beach, get lost in the Norman mist, time travel in Pompei and more than anything meet great and inspiring people.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you a little bit of french and how to play tarot (which is one of my favorite game), or recommend you good movies and tasty belgian beers (living in Brussels is very useful on that point).

I will be happy to learn anything you have to share about yourself and your lifestyle ans listening to your stories and jokes.
