CURRENT MISSION

Participate to the change towards a sustainable world

ABOUT ME

I'm Maxence from Nice, France. I'm currently living nearby Paris. I work in the wind energy business as an engineer. I think that climate change is an important issue and this is why I wanted to be an actor of the change towards a more sustainable world

I had the chance to study abroad in Denmark for a year where I had there the opportunity to meet people from all over the world. I'm a curious person, open-minded. I really enjoyed my stay at Aalborg as there were so many international students. In fact, I like being in an 'international' environment. I'm studying sustainable energy stuffs. .
I also like playing the piano. In fact I love listening to music and to all different kinds of music : classical, jazz, electronic music, rap etc. I like discovering new bands that are not so famous and commercial.

PHILOSOPHY

Be sustainable

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I heard about CouchSurfing last summer but I really decided to participate in the project recently when a experienced-coucchsurfer explained my in detail the whole concept and I liked it!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had a first Couchsurfing Experience in Stockholm and I really enjoyed it! As the couchsurfer I went to was a former ambassador of Sweden for Couchsurfing, he knew a lot about it and had several interesting stories to share about it. I have also hosted twice so fare and it was really a good experience. I am definitely looking forward to my next couchsurfing experience.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I played curling and it is actually pretty fun to do!
I swam in Denmark. It might not be amazing for you but I come from Nice so that's crazy for me!
A long time ago, I swam with a manatee in Florida. It was really short but it was an amazing experience.
Another amazing swimming experience: I swam in a river in Laos, in a wild and marvellous place.
I ran the Copenhagen Marathon last may and I managed to finish it!
I climbed on a top of a wind turbine where I could see an amazing 360° panorama on the Tarn region (France).
