About Me

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: Huge comics nerd (French / Japanese / Webcomics / Webtoons) and vegan! :D
I guess I like philosophy as well? Simone Weil and Camus are my current religion at least..

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Many people have hosted me when I simply knocked at their door, without knowing me. The least I can do is repay this kindness.

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€, and had no tent, no smartphone, no credit card.

I am now doing my PhD in a foreign country: it’s a more mundane kind of amazing, but amazing nevertheless.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach:
- simple and good vegan recipes
- juggling with 3 balls, though learning this is more a matter of practice
- the rules of the board game I am carrying with me

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
