About Me

Hi there !

I'm 28 and I've been a production engineer in Grenoble since july 2011. I come from the Paris region where I spent most of my time untit my 20's where my studies led me to Grenoble.
In 2010 I spend 5 month in New Zealand during an exchange program: one of the best times of my life so far ! :) I took advantage of that to go to Australia for a couple of weeks. Then I met with friends in French Polynesia, followed by Hong-Kong and Taiwan, where my sister lives.

I like to think that I'm a happy open minded lad who loves to travel by any means, meet new people and chat about anything. I also love listening to stories. I enjoy riding my motorbike, meeting up with friends while enjoying a lovely glass of red wine... Most of the time I'm really busy doing all sorts of stuff, being during the week or at week-ends! :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have a very good friend who has been on Couchsurfing for years and he's really enthusiastic about it and we talkd about it very recently so here I am ! ;) I want to meet people and have lots of stories to tell !

Interests

I love going to the cinema. I try to go as often as I can depending on what's on of course... Then there's my motorbike which I never leave for a too long period of time in the garage. And then there's meeting up with friends, going to the gym or for a run... Basically I'm never bored. :)

Music, Movies, and Books

The list of my favourite movies changes regularly but films like The Matrix, Star Wars, Snatch, Layer Cake, The Godfather, FIght Club... I'm most likely missing a lot more !
Music wise it depends on the mood: electro music and rock most of the time.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- Traveled around New Zealand on a motorbike ;
- Swam with sharks all around me ;
- Skydiving ;
- Bunggee Jumping from a bridge and touching the water of the river flowing below ;
- Skiing by night ;

Teach, Learn, Share

I give math lessons on a fairly regular basis and it is something I enjoy very much ! Otherwise I'm always willing to learn and share !

What I Can Share with Hosts

Well, I don't have any experience of Couchsurfing so it's hard to tell what I can really offer but a welcome as warm as possible, advice to where to eat and drink... Sadly enough I'm not a very good cook but I'm working on it. :)
