Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Visit every Sam Smith's pub in Zone 1 of London
ABOUT ME
French and Arabic student in London. Kind of obsessed with languages, culture, grammar, music, literature, film,history etc. If it exists, I'm interested in it, even if just to see why other people are (and then I'll normally become interested)
PHILOSOPHY
Everyone deserves dignity, respect and a lot of fun.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Couchsurfed a little in the summer of 2010, mainly in Eastern Europe. Very good experiences all round.
Interests
Everything. Love languages and learning about new cultures (although who on CS doesn't?). Music, calligraphy,reddit, beer, walking up tall things or long distances.

Music, Movies, and Books
Music: bit of everything. If it was written in the 60s, I like it from Buffalo Springfield to Lou Reed to the Rolling Stones to Nina Simone. Lots before or since, from Tchaikovsky to Brand New.
Movies: Film Noir (The Third Man), anything with police (The Wire, Engrenages, Forbrydelsen), anything about Ireland (The Commitments, In the Name of the Father, The Wind that Shakes the Barley) and V for Vendetta (favourite movie).
Books: Nabokov, Orwell, Rand, Tales of the Nasr e Din Khoja, Joyce. (I read a lot, especially when travelling)
