About Me

I'm a French Student, doing a PhD in Visual arts and Computer vision, about developing an artistic practice with and about Artificial Intelligence.
But I tend to also spend time thinking and acting against global warming, in an artistic way.
I tend to go and travel on a last-minute basis, following the wind to go where the sun is shining~

I really use CS to meet different people and share with them: when I'm travelling and feel I'm too tired to be able to talk with a host, I choose to go to hostels or campings until I feel ready to socialize again (I love to do it, but it somehow costs me quite a lot of energy)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Travel to discover the unknown and meet wonderful new people.

Interests

I mostly studied computer science, and love to create useful things with code.
I'm also a lot into visual arts: photography, sketching, poster design...

I'm also a tentative trumpet player in my school's brass band (but I started one year ago it does not sound very well so far ahah)

In travelling, I love to discover newplaces, new cultures, new people, and go hiking for a day or two.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to various styles of music, as long as they are more or less chill: Camille, Louise Attaque, Manu Chao, Fakear, London Grammar, Dan San, Moriarty... but I'm open to all kinds of music, especially in festivals :)

I love Miyazaki's animes, but alos movies by Tati (if you happen to know him :D), Wes Anderson, Tarantino... and globally indie movies

For books, I globally like Murakami's novels, but also JMG Le Clézio (Le chercheur d'or <3), and many others.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A 3-week trip in west of France (Brittany then Atlantic coast), hitchhiking, hiking, and couchsurfing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm kind of an information sponge: I'm interested in many domains, and love to learn new things and revise my earlier opinions.
I can talk about computers and A.I. (that's kind of my field), but also discuss about environment, culture, languages, travel...
I have written some tales (in French) about the anthropocene and our society, that I'd love to tell you if you're interested :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm particularly respectful of other people and their home, and want to embrace the whole couchsurfing experience, not just find a cheap way to travel :).
So if you can host me, I'll always to my best to fit your rules and expectations, and share stories and opinions about the world!

(Also I eat mostly vegetarian but I'm not strictly vegetarian, I can adapt :) )
