CURRENT MISSION

Discovering as many cultures I can, learning as many languages I can handle!

ABOUT ME

I am a very curious and talkative man, that's the least you could say! I am really sociable, I love traveling and trying to understand other cultures.
I am truly convinced that anyone can be interesting somehow. Then, if I get to meet someone, I'd love to share experiences, travelers are always the best for teaching you something in a short time!

PHILOSOPHY

World is vast! Much to discover, much to build!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I had heard of couchsurfing quite a long time ago, however I wanted to wait to have my own apartment before signing up, in order to be able to host as much to surf.
However, as I'm going to Tromso(Norway) for a semester, a friend and me need a place to crash the first night after landing. This is a good opportunity to try up this gold mine of experiences :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far, none. However I've traveled a lot through different ways.

Interests

I am really keen on sports. Nowadays I do Tae Kwon Do, and my bike is my only way of transport in town.
I have an associative life that helps me to satisfy my need of trying to help my neighbor (that's something that remains of my catholic education). I am a scout leader, I've done an international solidarity experience in Brazil last year thanks to scouts too. I will be next year the leader of the solidarity pole of the association of the medicine faculty in Lyon.

Music, Movies, and Books

I read a lot, slowly but constantly. It keeps me calm before sleeping. I read every kind of book possible: heroic-fantasy, police books, classic authors of Europe, philosophical, historical... But what I like the most is reading books from a country where I'm staying quite a long time, in order to understand more its culture.
Concerning music I like electro, rock and roll, reggae, electro swing, traditional musics,... The list isn't exhaustive!
Concerning movies, pretty much everything but bad comedies. I just prefer original version whatever the language is.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I can't remember to have been really awestruck. However I have a quite cute souvenir of China. On a mountain in Sichuan, I was holding a biscuit in my hand, and a wild monkey climbed my leg to take it. I saw him coming so it wasn't surprised, but I was impressed that he was actually no afraid of me at all!

Teach, Learn, Share

I love languages, I would love to share about ways to learn them, which ones have roots with other ones,... Everything that could lead us to understand better our neighbors, it eases the communication of course, but understanding a language helps you to understand the culture linked to it!
