About Me

CURRENT MISSION
I'm currently doing a PhD thesis about architecture and biology. It is something about human behaviour in architectures and cells behaviour in microenvironments. Weird but awesome. I can explain it to you if we meet some day ;)

ABOUT ME
I would say i'm just like many people : teasing, outgoing, enjoying life. My friends would maybe describe me as eccentric because sometimes I'm passionate into something, and right after totally into something else. They could also say that I'm a little bit shy but it's just that I'm more a listener than a speaker, not such a big deal ! I would like to travel more (even though, I am happy that I travelled quite a lot so far) and very important, I would love to host people from now that I finally can! (i love my flat)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCES

- I went to Amsterdam six years ago in august. We were two and spent three days at our couhsurfer's place. We cooked some french meal following a receipe from our mountains to thank our hosts ;)
- I went to Croatia last summer and spent two nights with other couchsurfers in one's place (we were three). This time, one of my friend cooked ratatouille as he is from the south of France.

First time I travelled using my girlfriend account, next one with my flatmate's one. We often host with her account, that's why my own account seems a bit quite ;)

Interests

I used to do some videos. I have to start again, I miss it... for fun, for travel memories, for stories (shorts movies) or for architecture and graphic arts.
I am crazy about what I'm doing in my thesis.

Music, Movies, and Books

Series : Mr Robot / Black Mirror / Vikings / Dark / You Me Her
Movies : Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, les poupées russes, inception, memento, interstellar
Books : Robin Hobb, Just kids, some philosophers
Music : techno, psytrans, blues, electroswing, reggae and so many kinds

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- A journey from Grenoble to Amsterdam by hitchhiking.
- Riding with Danish peoples in the evening in Copenhagen, city of bicycle.
- Spending one year in Prague to study at the faculty of architecture and enjoy the athmosphere of this magical city.
- One week on a "lost" non-touristic island of Croatia sleeping on beaches !

Teach, Learn, Share

I'll be delight to teach something about videos or architecture(s), maybe too about landscape, kind of biology and its relations with architecture.
We could also share language classes, especially if you speak spanish, I'm learning it right now. In exchange, I can teach you some french, obviously ;)

What I Can Share with Hosts

In winter, I would say, we can share some beers and french cheeses in the city after coming back from ski !
In summer, the same but after some hiking.
Can share deep or stupid conversations or good meal all together flatmates and hosts.
I'm on couchsurfing since 2012, and only now I can host people so I definitly cannot wait for it ! (I was before in student residences, dormitories, at my parents place, or really to busy with my studies, like a lot :/ )

See you soon ;)
