I'm a scientist in biochemistry, though I've also been a street juggler!
I like cooking, playing games, listening and telling stories, discovering new interesting places, dancing during an entire night, talking around a hot chocolate and hiking & camping.

Beware: I am also a nerd and vegan! :D

I'm passionate about my work and when I get in the flow it's hard for me to stop, so as a host I may be away at work (sometimes coming back at midnight), but if we plan something in advance I'll make myself available!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Queen, the Beatles, Georges Brassens
Books: I started as a fantasy reader, big fan of Patrick Rothfuss or Terry Pratchett. But I've read (and liked) all genres. I had a science history and scientists biographies period, now I'm more into philosophy (Simone Weil & Camus are my favorites) and occasionally German novels. Also a huge manga/webtoons/European comics reader!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I hitchhiked from France to North Cape in Norway (after polar circle), then to Lithuania. I started with 10€, no tent, no smartphone, no credit card. This took 4 months, mostly during Winter. I knocked at doors or asked passers-by to find a place to sleep every night, and juggled in the street to get some money .

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach:
- simple and good vegan recipes
- juggling with 3 balls, though learning it is more a matter of practice than having a teacher
- the rules of the board game I am carrying with me
- nerdy science stuff

I'd like to learn way too many things, but here are the one on top of my mind that you may be able to teach me:
- simple and good recipes
- the rules of a game I don't know
- harmonica
- massage
