Hi everyone!

I'm Nicolas, young man from Europe. Born in Switzerland (Geneva), with a lot of Italian influences (thank you grandma), I guess I am pretty attached to the geographical zone of south Switzerland, north Italy, ---> Mountains and Adriatic sea!
I am actually living in Paris, for 6 years now, it's good, it's nice but it's time to discover a little bit more of that planet.
So I am really into traveling. I mean I NEED to see something new everyday, and I will.

I would describe myself as an simple, curious, easy-going person. I have my interests, I have my values, and one of them is to discover. So I am pretty open to anything happening to me, at least I try to be. My worth is based on a smile and on a laugh. I am pretty honest, I say things, good and bad, and I like a response. Though silence is pretty ok to me too.
I like a person when she/he is complete: I like to see a full breathing human being, knowing his path, knowing his values and interest. I try to reach to that point, being complete.

My major occupation is to create. It could be anything, I need to create everyday with my hands or with my mind to feel useful in my life. Actually, I work on stage, as a comedian and singer last update, at the Opera House of Paris. I draw, I play music, I do pottery, I imagine mostly, and most of it I dream.

I ain't rich with money, but I am a millionaire counting my dreams :)

And I love creating new relationship with you people! even for one hour or one month, I guess that we have something to share, good or bad.
But let's think about the goodness today!

I am actually planning to go see the world. Beginning with my island, Eurasia. I am leaving end of may, East and Southern Europe, then middle east, then Asia, south eastern Asia, then China and Japan and if I am still on, South America. Counting 1 to few years of travelling.

This trip is gonna be legend-wait for it-ary and I will be glad if you can be part of it.

In all cases, I assure you to be a respectful guy, clean and silent! I am living carpe diem and will never be upset with changes, as long as they don't hurt anyone.

So feel free to ask me anything even private, I am here to communicate and meet people!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I travel, you travel, I host, I surf, I meet, I go out, I eat, I use your couch, you use my shower, I show Paris, my Paris to strangers, AVOID expensive places :)

When I am at someone's place, I love to participate in the cooking, cleaning dishes, cleaning the floor (I love cleaning #monica) meeting friends, family, going out with the host, discovering new food, showing new food.

If needed, I always come with my towel, sleeping bag, toothbrush, shower gel, shampoo, soap etc. I ask my guests to do the same.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies:
I would say all of them. the thing is, I love when movies bring me in a new universe, I love to dream, and to escape from reality as often as possible. If the movie bring me somewhere, then I like it.
But if there is one movie that speaks to me like "obviouuus" that would be "J'ai tué ma mère" de Xavier Dolan.

I like good old movies, musicals one, love story, action, I love 80's music, actual, and classical,

books.. so maaaany! Shining! Lords of the Rings! Misery (love King) l'empire Barbare,,,, etc...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

being on mountains' tops! with sunrise and sunset

running like a mad man after a thief who stole my watch., and got back my watch.

having the best teenager time possible :)

Smelling swiss mountains' smell on the top of the twin peaks.

Falling in a river in Jesolo, Italy.

Giving so many possessions to a immigrant black guy in Paris' streets, shaking his hand, crossing his eyes and having faith in mankind all over again.

preparing my departure from Europe.

Teach, Learn, Share

creation is the salvation.

That's what I learned, that's what I taught, and that's what I'll share.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Dear Hosts.

Food!
I will share with you time in your kitchen! I love to cook, I love to create new recipes, and to discover yours!
Cleaning!This may sound weird, but I love cleaning up. like vacuum, broom, etc. So if one day I am at your place, and that you want/have to do some cleaning. I will do it with you. like I will be happy. xD

Music! if you have a piano I ll play. if you have a guitar I'll sing with you.

Kids! I love spending time with children, teaching them things and playing with them :)

Silence. I promise you, I can be quiet :)

Walking. simply.

But most of it, I will love to spend sunset times on a window or terrace drinking whatever and talking about life. Like we just discovered it.

I have so much to learn, please let's meet!
