About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Eradicating self-fishness and close-mindness one insult at the time!!

ABOUT ME

That's a though one. Fun, laughter, partying and taking it easy plays a real important role in my life, which is balanced by my crazy serious carreer as a scientific researcher. I judge people for who they are, not for where they are from and what they do as a living, and I expect the same in return. You throw a party, I'll be the first one arrived and the last one leaving and I'll ensure everybody have a blast.

Traveling and learning new cultures define me in some sense and I'll travel anywhere I can until my heart stop beating!

PHILOSOPHY

"If you lie down, they will step on you. If you stay up and resist, they will hate you, but they will call you 'Sir' " -Pierre Falardeau

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had a few experience throughout my life but it was mostly crashing at friends place or acquaintances. I had my first real experiences of CS in Japan in Sept. 2007 and I had an amazing time. Thanks to Mayumi, Mochan and Peter!

Interests

Very very very vast. I am interested by everything. Sports, politics, science, economy, law, music, cooking (it's more a passion actually!), obviously travel, culture clashes, women status, men status, world peace, you name it !

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: anything that can be played by real instruments. I have a certain weakness toward the harder stuff!
Books: I read so much for work that I don't read much for fun, but when it happens, I like french literature.
Movies: I am a movie freak. I love doing 24 hours movie marathons. I watch and enjoy anything from David Lynch to Kevin Smith, without forgetting the chick flicks and the "let's kill everybody" movies :p

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seen: Came face to face with a black bear mama and her cob...almost sh*t my pants!
Done: Touring Europe for 3 months by myself with only 2 t-shirt and 1 pair of pants!

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Czech Republic, Dominican Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain
