About Me

CURRENT MISSION

That's what she said...

ABOUT ME

I was born in Paris, i lived my whole life there, so... who am i seriously? I'm not so good with describing myself, i don't really enjoy doing that.
Basically, i think i am a good guy, trustworthy. I don't express myself much but when the feeling is good, that is when my real personnality gets in.
I like to travel, and the list of countries that i want to go to seems just not a realistic target. And by the way, the only foreign country that i've lived into made me fall in love with its culture and its way of living.. I want to go back to the us so bad...
I also know Paris very well, so for those who want a tour, i'd be really pleased to show you around !

PHILOSOPHY

I live my life to unionize the workers, man. :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

For now, I host, i try to help surfers to know more about my city, about what to see/do. I can also host during some CS events.
I also tell all my friends about it, and try to convice them to join the community!

Interests

I love playing sports (basketball, football, tennis), I played the piano for 10 years and i wish i could have my piano back to my place to play more often.
I also am a good PES player, who loves new opponents from time to time.
I can also cook a bit, but my lazy ass personnality gets the better of me most of the time :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies : The Godfather is my favorite movie. After, i like Garden State, Goodbye Lenin, Le Diner de Cons, Snatch, American Gangster, Traffic, Juno, Dikenek, Office Space, He Got Game.

Music : I like some US Rap/Hip-Hop (Jurassic 5, Gangstarr, Family Tree, Talib Kweli, RJD2, Wax Tailor, Eminem, Outkast), some Trip-Hop Music (Portishead, Massive Attack, Morcheeba, Archive, Death in Vegas), some Rock music (Pink Floyd, Radiohead, Alanis Morissette, The Doors, Led Zeppelin, Muse, U2), and very few of the french stuff (Noir Desir, Akhenaton, and i think, besides several songs, that's it for frenchy sound)

I also found my self to really like TV Shows. I like Weeds, Dexter, That 70's Show, Six Feet Under, Friends, How I met your Mother, The Office, My name is Earl, and Scrubs.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Back when i was in China, i saw this guy that bought an alive snake at the market, asked something to the seller who cut open the snake (which was still alive) around its heart, took out the heart and gave it to the dude who ate it directly.. i don't know why, but that moment stuck..

Teach, Learn, Share

Curious as I am, I'd be definitely up to learn about anything. So, bring it on !
For english native speakers, you'd better come with cool slang expressions :)
