About Me

I'm 23 and I just graduated in food sciences engineering and marketing. I'm easy going, always ready to have fun, laugh and talk about anything. I used to plan everything but after my experience in Alaska (more about it : below), I've learnt to be more spontaneous, ready for any opportunity coming from anyone. I love meeting people, sharing our life and culture, just talking and learning from each other. I think that planing the future is important but we should never forget to live the present time. All is about living your life as much as possible, we only got one, we never know what tomorrow is made of. I am grateful for everything life can offer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting people. I've never host anyone because I am still leaving with my parents and we have no room available, unfortunately (this will change the day I'll move!)
I've been hosted in placed I've visited and the experience is everytime enriching. This is all about visiting with the eyes of a local. Visiting a place, without meeting the people who are living there, is just useless, according to me. I love going to a place and simply talk with people in the shops, in the street. If I have the opportunity to stay with a local in their place, this is like being part of their culture, just for a moment.

Interests

I enjoy cooking, trying new type of food, travelling, watching movies and having a drink with friends. I am always interested in learning new things, not from books or TV, but from people. I enjoy listenning to the simple stories of anyone and I love to share parts of my life too.

Music, Movies, and Books

For me, the best movies are the one that make you feel weird when it's over. The one you're thinking about even two days after. Interstellar, Inception, Million Dollars Baby... And all the Tarantino's one : Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill, Inglorious Basterds...
I love all kind of music! But I can say Iron and Wine, Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan, Bon Iver, Cocoon.. are my favorite singers.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I worked during four months in Alaska, and travelled during my 2 days off per week by hitchhiking alone, with no place to sleep, camping in the middle of nowhere... amazing experience, beautiful meetings. This experience changed me, I will never forget that chapter of my life.
Watch the video I made of that experience !

Teach, Learn, Share

I learnt that health was more precious than anything in Life, that you should be grateful for what you got, and always smile or try to. Every morning is the beginning of a new day, start it with joy. Always share good energy to people around you.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Joy, french culture, what I know about anything, the good food of where I live.... and most of all : good moments!
