ABOUT ME

Hi!

I am a Ph.D. Candidate in Social Sciences, enjoying life in Nantes, the most beautiful and lively city of France as everyone knows. I consider myself as an open-minded person (like 90% of people here right ?), always up for a good chat and a good meal with new people. What I like in traveling is discovering all the cultural aspects of the place I'm in, and I think it's necessary to hang out with locals to achieve this goal. My greatest flaw? I sleep a lot, but you'll soon see how energetic I am aside from that!

PHILOSOPHY

"Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever” could be my motto

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

Algo increíble que he hecho

- Walking on the top of Pyla's Dune, with no tourists around, in the darkness of Christmas' Eve
- Biking around Bristol's beautiful harbourside, with its golden river at sunset time
- Eating wonderful greek food after swimming in the warm sea of Balos, Crete
- Waving at the Hamish cows of Scotland, in the middle of a James Bond's landscape
- Listening to an organ concert in the Meszquita - Catedral of Cordoba
- Chasing pelicans at the Danube Delta with a fisherman's motorboat

But actually I like to enjoy simple things even while travelling. Nothing makes me happier than having a good meal and a nice walk in a warm city by night.

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

When I'm a traveler, I can cook world food from Algeria, Senegal, India, ... And also some french food, even though I'm less gifted in this field (weirdly enough). I usually bring some sweets from France to my hosts, because even though I don't know how to cook them, they're truly delicious !

I'm an enthusiastic person always eager to play board games and have a good chat, sharing some views about society
