About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Working in Paris, but always down to hang out and show you around !

ABOUT ME

Hey there ! I'm a parisian student always interested in discovering new people and cultures. I travel a lot and so I like meeting people with the same hobby.
I really like to discover Paris (even if I live there for more than 4 years !) because this an amazing city with an important cultural background.
At the same time I often go in the countrydide to enjoy the beauty of preserved environment.

PHILOSOPHY

"Your life ends when you stop discovering new things"
As everybody on CS, I think that the best things come out when you can share your opinion with new people, especially if they don't share the same background than you. It keeps your mind open, which is the most important thing to me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I live in the 9th arrondissement of Paris, which is near many interesting places and is a very good place to visit Paris. I'd like to host single people or cooples who are visiting the capital because I know how expensive it is to stay in Paris !

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted few persons from different countries and it is always a pleasure. I'm really happy when I have the occasion to meet again the people I've hosted, especially in their own country !

Interests

Meeting new people !
Science ! Chemistry (but I'm not Heisenberg from breaking Bad !)
Travelling and staring to the stars
Drinking beer and/or wine
Cooking (not only french cuisine, I'm very inspired by asian food). I like to cook for my friends.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies : everything from blockbusters to more sophisticated movies (I usually don't have prejudices). Recent favorite movie: Boyhood from Richard Linklater
Books : classic french literature (Zola, Le Clézio, Giono, Mauriac), all the books from Richard Feynman (true genius !), science books
Music I like ? I'm eclectic, I like jazz, indie, pop, pop-rock, country...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Summer 2013 spent in San Francisco (CA), incredible parties there and awesome roadtrips (Sonoma Valley to taste the cali wine, hiking in Yosemite national Park or in Point reyes national park)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you :
- french (even if it is not the most useful language, it is still very classy).
- how to recognize any kind of plants, animals or rocks(long time spent in the french countryside and abroad)

And I'll be very happy to talk about science ;-)

What I Can Share with Hosts

A lot I think. Because I've hosted many people I can definitely understand the expectations of my host.
For mor concrete things I can take care of your plant or give a hand for your garden because i'm used to do it. I can also bring french food or something from France that you ever dreamed of (if it exists !)
