Hey there! I'm a French Literature and Philosophy student. It's my last semester before I graduate. At the moment, I am participating in a study abroad program at UC Berkeley, but I am originally from the University of Geneva.

I have a wide range of passions that includes what I am studying (philosophy and literature), magic, chess, poetry. My all time passion is martial arts, which I've been training on since I'm young. Before I came to Berkeley, I was training MMA, but here I am focusing on boxing as the US have good clubs and also cause I wanted to diversify.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because it is the way people should travel!

What I mean is that travelling is about exploring and adventures, not about staying in impersonal hotels; it's about meeting people that are from the places and learning from them what they have to teach you.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like all kind of music, really, but what I listened most is hip-hop.

Super-hero movies are my jam, but I wouldn't say that my favorite movie is one of them. Sin City is a great movie.

Some of the books that marked me are: Macbeth, First Casualties, Dead Poet Society, Les Fleurs du Mal, La Ronde et autres nouvelles, Le Travailleur de la Mer.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

What I am currently doing, which is studying abroad at Berkeley.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teaching is what I'd like to do as a job, so these three words mean a lot to me. (First, we have to learn some things to share and teach them afterwards).

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my opitmism, and any other things of my personality from a good sense of humor (sometimes), a motivation to achieve new challenges, a desire to learn new languages and culture and many other things.

Countries I’ve Visited
