Overview
About Me
I studied Physics at university for one year, but it didn't suit me. I took a year off, travelled a bit, but still didn't know what to do. Now I've got a master's in mathematics. I did an internship in the Aircraft industry, tried doing a PhD and then working in a startup…
Actually, I think working in an office isn’t for me.
Anyway, I’m now traveling and trying to figure out what to do next.
I strive to be open-minded, curious, and I love learning new things.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I love traveling! I think Couchsurfing is a great way to meet people and discover new places. I has been a great experience for me, as hosts always were friendly, trusting and interesting. It's also a way for me to overcome my somewhat shy nature, and discuss with people I wouldn't have come across otherwise.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
✈️ I became a glider pilot and once stayed 6h30 in the air, on my own. All this only using the sun's power !
Flying is one of the most awesome things that I've done. And soaring is the best.
🦭 I once swam with a seal.
In early 2016 I did a road trip around France, which wouldn't have been possible without Couchsurfing. 4000km, 50 days, 8 hosts, plus family and friends. I met amazing people, and went to lots of places! It changed me in some way, helping me to overcome my shyness.
Teach, Learn, Share
I've got a good background in science-related stuff, mainly physics and maths as well as some programming experience.
I can tell you about AI
As for learning, I'm open to a lot of things!
