About Me

CURRENT MISSION

French guy dreaming of a Canada Day in Ottawa

ABOUT ME

Happy before all. I like to travel and to meet people. I like to share what I have and what I know, with people who do the same.

I am doing engineering studies in France, Paris. I like sciences as much as I like music. I would describe me as decided, patient, open-minded, helpful.

I live in a little town in the South of France, and I went to bigger ones for school. I really like big towns, but I like too the free and rural education that I have had there. Always welcoming the others.

PHILOSOPHY

Engineering is my way of thinking. I am open-minded with very structured thoughts. I like to share what I live with people, and I just think that this is the most important thing in life. We are nothing alone!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am only surfing at the moment, doing a 4-months internship at Bombardier Kingston in Canada. I plan to surf through Canada and USA, and host in Paris as soon as I am back in France. Couchsurfing is such a good thing!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I went to Kanata Ottawa in Canada for my first experience of surfing. It was really great to meet people, and to be able to share what you live, especially when you are like me, visiting a country alone for a long time.

I will soon go to Montreal and have my second experience, and I would like to see New York through Couchsurfing too. It will be my biggest trip, and I want to speak about all that I did in the big Apple with everybody! Couchsurfing would be a way for me to share what I live, and my culture.

Interests

Music is my life. I played the piano for 10 years, the violin for 4 years. There are so many instruments that I would like to try ! I swim a lot too, and like to party. My main interest: enjoying life!

Videogames are part of my life. Less than before now, but I am still playing on the computer when I have some time.

I did some swimming, for 10 years about, and practised QwanKiDo, a martial art, for 4 years.

I read a lot before. I wish I had the time to do this now, but I am quite overwhelmed with all I need to do for school and school associations.

Music, Movies, and Books

Spirited Away, Inception, ... I don't have names in my head. I am into comedy, and romance. I don't like action movie for just action, but I lie them with humor or psychology (The last I saw was Edge of Tomorrow, and it was really great !)

Piano, Violin, Ludovico Einaudi, Yanni, Beethoven, Chopin, Glee, Rock and hard rock, SOAD, Helloween, Nightwish, ... I like kind of all style of music. What I like is being able to switch!

I don't know the names in English =D Mostly fantasy books.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went in China for 3 weeks without really knowing how to speak, it was awesome. Now I am in Canada for 4 months, first time in North America, and I would love to discover the country, it would be supermegafoxyawesomehot!
