CURRENT MISSION

Take a vacation !

ABOUT ME

Well, I guess I'm just a typical Parisian (NB : this doesn't mean I'm rude or unfriendly) !
My friends say I'm (unintentionally) funny and I'm also quite clumsy and curious. I enjoy travelling, going out with my friends, fine food and wine, I play volleyball and I love pistachio macaroons (chocolate/passion fruit macaroons aren't bad either) ! I can be quite passionate about things I'm interested in and and I'm very eager to learn, especially when I'm travelling abroad.
Also, I really can't figure out why, but I always manage to end up with like 10 (empty) bottles of water on my night stand. --> Weird, I know.

PHILOSOPHY

Good cheese + fine wine + great friends = happiness on earth !

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would glady show you Paris around, I love my city and know quite a few things about its history (and cool bars), which would make me a decent guide, I guess.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

At this point I only had a few CS experiences but I really love it, it really gives you another perspective when you travel and I love meeting new people !

Interests

Traveling, art, politics, eating, wine, partying, Latin America, reading,...
I collect mugs from the cities I've visited visited, which is becoming problematic in view of my kitchen's relatively small size.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like all kinds of movies except horror movies, which literally scare me to death ! I also watch tons of TV series (mostly American), some of them good, some of them just annoyingly addictive... And the West Wing is the best TV show ever !
I read a lot, mostly French and Latin American autors, and Stendhal is my man !
I listen to all kinds of music, including rock, classical, rap, salsa/merengue/reggaeton, house and electro, etc... My favorite bands/artists include the Doors, the Cranberries, Gotan Project, Jamiroquai, IAM (French rap group), Bersuit Vergarabat (Argentinian), Daft Punk or Chopin. I very much enjoy discovering music from all around the world !

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I guess my most challenging experience (since I'm not that nuts about sports except volleyball) was doing the Inca Trail, a trek of 4 days at more than 3000m in altitude to reach Machu Picchu ! It was rainy and cold, slippery and physically exhausting, but it was absolutely amazing ! I walked in the middle of clouds, saw Inca ruins all along and shared a great experience with a fine group of people. I'd recommend it to anyone who wishes or plans to travel to Peru !

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you French or Spanish, how to make an origami balloon and everything about the French constitution (I'd understand if you're not interested, though...).
I'm very curious so anything you can share with me would be appreciated. I especially like learning about history and new languages.
