About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learn Mandarin and er hu...

ABOUT ME

I like to talk, to laugh, to listen to music, to dream, to eat, to dance, to walk in Paris at 4am, to meet someone for the first time, to learn, to sleep, to get lost, and most importantly : I like you ! :-)
And I don't like to be brought back to reality, to wake up and not be able to remember the great dream I've just had, and I really don't like Jägermeister (I've had bad experiences with it...).

PHILOSOPHY

Roads are made to be traveled...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I offer people a place to stay and my friendship.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been on couchsurfing for some time now and I have to say I've only had great experiences so far !
I enjoy the fact that it's both a new way of traveling and also of living at home...

Interests

Music : I used to be singing and playing in a band in France, for 4 years. Now I started my one-man-band in Shenzhen and I'm trying to learn some Chinese songs.
Sports : I play (and used to teach) tennis. I also enjoy badminton, volleyball, sailing, snowboarding, and "out-in-the-wild-countryside" sports (mountain bike, canoe, rafting, canyoning...).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I lived in Africa during 3 years when I was a child and I saw amazing things there !
Also some landscapes in China are completely breathtaking (like the tiger leaping gorge or the Li river in Yangshuo).
