About Me

CURRENT MISSION

If I can help someone just by lending a couch, why wouldn't I do it ?

ABOUT ME

If you need a couch, you should read my profile because if you don't (it's pretty easy to know) I won't even read your request.

There's really nothing special about me.
I moved to Paris for my job in 2004.

I'm very calm and open-minded (I think). I'm not very talkative at first glance but it's just because I need a little time to be at ease with stranger(s)
(maybe CS can help me ;P )

What else ? Hmm I'm not a fan of noisy places (pubs, nightclubs, ...) but I really enjoy quiet ones(parks, museums, monuments, ...)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I kind of retired from CS, so just maybe going to some events.

Interests

I'm interested in :

- Asia : I live close to "China Town" after all ! (I'd like to visit Thailand, China, Taiwan, Mongolia, Singapore, ... ), I enjoyed Japan and loved (!) South Korea ^^

- Sports (mainly squash, badminton and table tennis),

- Photography (I started few weeks ago .. so I suck).
If you have your camera and wanna take some pictures ... ,

- Books (SF, HF, thrillers) which I try to read in English (sometimes unsuccessfully),

- Cinema (any kind of movies),

- Travels, even if I haven't travelled much yet (Korea, Canada, Tunisia, Spain, Malta, Japan, Italy & UK),

- Food. I'm really a bad cook but I enjoy cooking (don't know why because sometimes I can't even eat what I just cooked ;-) ). I also like to go to restaurants with friends.
