ABOUT ME

"..."

***

I will be a great moviemaker in a few year. It's a dream. Even if, right now, I'm pretty terrible, I'm working on it. Actually, I know how to do a movie, and technically, I'm pretty good, but I feel like I have nothing to say, nothing to tell. That's why I stopped my cinema studies to travel. I realised I'd learn more living and learning about everything than studying a camera during hours. After few months travelling, I begin to think I found what I was looking for.

***

I wanted to be a pirate too but that part will stay in my imagination.

***

I'm optimistic. Interested in everything, especially bored ones (according to a lot of people, unfortunately) like politic, history, philosophy and economy... but I also like watch good movies, sharing a couple of beers with people.

***

I'm afraid of sick people... I'm not kidding, it's a real phobia ! I hate them, and I'm always really in a bad mood when I'm close to them. Which become a real problem when I am sick... I hate jellyfishes too. But I love insects. And children. And cheese... And so on...

PHILOSOPHY

If you really have a dream, try your best to make it real, whatever people might say or think.

I think there is good things in every people in the world. Violence, cupidity,... can always be explained by circonstances.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfed couches after couches in Europe and Asia during the last six months. I don't remember any bad experiences.

Took part of some meetings, in several places in the world.

Look forward to host people as I've been hosted.

Interests

First : movies. New asian movies (Jia Zhang-ke, Bong Joon-ho, Johnnie To, Hou Hsiao-Hsien, Tsaï Ming-Liang...) and american (especially 70's movies : coppola, scorcese, kubrick, ...) and new french movies (arnaud desplechin !!!).

Then, travelling of course, discovering new things and new people, eating, cooking, partying with my friends, contemporary history, geopolitics, some american TV shows.

Finally, besides the fact I hated maths and sciences in school, I have a passion for astronomia, medicine, physics... I can spend hours on wikipedia looking for information about a desease or the new discovers about the black holes. I know it's not commun but it really interested me !
