About Me

Hey there ! I'm a 32 Y.O. french guy, and a complete newbie here in Couchsurfing.

I'm teaching french in middle-school, and used to be a sports journalist with a huge passion for tennis.

I'd say i'm very open-minded, positive and i love people with sense of humor. I'm very interested in human rights, particularly in discriminations against women and LGBT community.

More than the cities, i love to get to know people from various corners of the world , which is the best way to understand a place you dont really know.

Oh, and I LOVE travelling by train for hours, and my summer 2016 will see myself happy, because that's what i'm doing in Euope in July :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've been travelling quite a lot the past 3 years, but never ever tried to meet people via Couchsurfing. A shame, because i've heard many great experiences from several of my friends... So here I am !

Interests

Sports, dancing, concerts, cheese & red wine : anything you could expect from a guy living in paris ;)

My job is all about education, and this is a subject i never get tired of.

Strong interest in (geo)political issues, but if you're not at-ease with it, i can skip it and keep the conversation to something else.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music is a huge part of my life (and so is my iPod Classic/Parott combo then). I'm into different kind of styles : mainstream, indie, rock, hip-hop, R'n'B, pop. Sounds very generic, but it would take me hours to finish my profile, so i'll tell you when we talk ;)

Edit : Currently, listening to the new Blood Orange album + anxiously waiting for Shura's one m a french teacher, makes sense right ?)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I think eating in a Sikh temple in Gwalior, India, with the leader of the community was one of the most intense experience i've ever had. Barely words were spoken, it was very intimidating. But the way i was welcomed for days was something unforgettable : every single person learnt me a lot about their hitory & culture.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share a lots of talking, going out (concerts, museums, up to anything) and i'm a good listener too.

Anyone in love with french language, but you need practice ? I can definitely help you with that too.

I can play tennis with you too, which is a huge addiction !

Countries I’ve Visited

Argentina, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Chile, Germany, Hungary, India, Luxembourg, Nepal, Netherlands, Poland, Qatar, Spain, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom
