Overview
About Me
I travel and live in a van a good part of the year, but when I'm back home I'll be happy to host you! I'm a photographer/web entrepreneur/researcher.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I started couchsurfing when I was studying in the US, and that was a great experience ! I only met nice people there. I even had the chance to host one of my californian host 4 years later, while I was living in Paris, which shows that even if you only spend a few days with the people you meet, those relationships last.
Interests
"Classical" interests include sport, music, reading, and photography. I like programming too, that's how I make a living at the moment. And I've always been interested in understanding human behavior, which is why I spent three years doing a PhD in evolutionary psychology. I'm also very involved in science popularization in general, online and offline.

Music, Movies, and Books
My adolescence was all about pop and rock music (Oasis, Muse, Noir Desir, The Beatles, Bloc Party...), but now I enjoy more and more jazz music (New Orleans style with Duke Ellington, Sydney Bechet or manouche style, Django Reinhardt, Bireli Lagrene...), and I'm discovering the virtues of electro music too... I play a little bit of guitar.
Books : mainly french post-war authors, including Vian, Queneau, Sartre... Céline is another of my favorite writer.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
A four months roadtrip in Central America.
A 3 months roadtrip in Australia.
What I Can Share with Hosts
Conversation about science, evolution, the origins of humanity, where we come from and where we are going!
Or if you're not too much into science we can talk about music, travels and photography.
I also have a van and I’m always looking for people to join me in my trips to the seaside, looking for the best waves to surf!
