About Me

[Can't welcome anyone for now I'm very sorry about it :( / Je ne peux accueillir personne pour le moment j'en suis vraiment désolée :( ]

Not here to date or find love! thank you!

I'm a very enthousiastic and friendly person, really easy to get along with, who love to discuss, laugh, cook, debate... and I'm also very respectful about intimicy, living space etc. (my english is not that fluent so sorry about my mistakes). I guess my main life goal is to experience as much things as I can and to learn everything I can about any subject. So far, except a two month internship in Louisiana, I have never traveled out of Europe by myself (except to the Ile de la Réunion in the Indian Ocean, but it doesn't count because its a part of France...) but I will be traveling through USA this summer (2019), which is a project I've made many years ago.

About my personnality, I'd say I have a pretty goofy sense of humor, and I love irony. Don't say I haven't warned you. I'm very concerned by climate changing and the solutions humans bring to it. Some are really insane while some others seem to make sense. And points of views can be so differents from a country to another.
I'm fond of art, as long as it has either sense, poetry, beauty or even humor but you'd tell me it's very subjective and you'd be right.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

From June to September 2019, I'll be travelling in United States, looking for new experiences, amazing people sharing stories about the place they're living, as many people on CS.com I guess! And experience myself as a traveller, since I've never made such a road trip before.

I think meeting people from the city you visit is a way to make a full discovery of that place (I am not sure to write it correctly). I mean, going to an hotel is fine, but you don't get the same "taste" of the city, you don't really meet who lives here, and what is a city apart its inhabitants?

Music, Movies, and Books

Music/Musique

New world Symphony - Dvorak
Blue Oyster Cult, this band is just AMAZING

Movies/Films
Too hard to pick some... but here is some of my favs but really not the only ones:
A Beautiful Mind with Russel Crowe and Jennifer Connelly
Erin Brockovich with wonderful Julia Roberts
All Xavier Dolan 's movies

Books/Livres
Argh so hard to choose... I'm a part of the Harry Potter generation but it's a special case. Some authors I like: Isaac Asimov, Etienne Klein (a french philosopher/physicist who explains hard concepts as relativity etc), Milan Kundera, Baudelaire.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I managed to get my driving licence. Trust me, it was quite an adventure to me (and to the examinator I guess)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some french words (the rude ones too of course), how to draw a pinguin, and a magic trick you can make with your credit card (but it doesn't make you rich, sorry people).
As you may have noticed, I do have useful skills.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Anything that can make us feeling happy, laughing, learning things, thinking... in the sociable limits of course ;)
