CURRENT MISSION

Just live! It'd be a good start

ABOUT ME

Not an easy exercise... I'd say: laid-back, sociable, open to any discussions, with anyone!
I really enjoy spending time with enthusiastic people. I am keen on joking, mostly with a hidden sense of humour (sometimes too hidden^^)

Most people who know me know that I have a true passion : basketball. It could have been knitting or breeding sheeps, but I have to admit I am somewhat passionate when it comes to this sport.

But, don't worry! I have plenty other interests, like travelling, meeting new people, having good discussions with good beers ... Just enjoying life as much as I can!

Oh, one particular note: I have a physical particularity that is definitely not invisible and that is part of me. I'd be glad to talk more about it if anybody wants to! So, in a way, I am kind of unique, as everybody is!

PHILOSOPHY

I am an optimistic guy who strongly believes that everyone gets what he or she deserves. If you really want something, you can! And you also can tell people around you how you did it :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I used to host surfers from time to time, and meet travellers or local people when participating to events when I was in Bordeaux. Meeting travelers makes you travel even though you actually don't!
Now that I am in Nantes, I've been less participating couchsurfing activites, but I hope to enjoy it again soon...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I don't have a tremendous experience of couchsurfing so far, just having surfed and hosted a couple of times... but when I did it, it was a blast!

Interests

In a few words, what I like :
To do sports (or to make people believe I do sports), travelling, dreaming to travel all my life, having good parties with people I care about or I just met,... and plenty others!
Oh, I forgot: keep training my english became an emergency!
And why not learning new languages too. I want to learn to say "My name is Antoine" in the most possible languages! For the record, 7 so far... Could be definitely imprved! => Help meeee!

Music, Movies, and Books

I am basically an eclectic person, but currently I just felt in love with electro music (Bakermat, Dennis Kruissen, Klingande, FlicFlac, Joris delacroix ...). But I keep listening to my first music-love : rap, mostly Eminem, of course.
I also enjoy other type of music like (among others): The Lumineers, Stromae, Red Hot, Chines Men, and many more...

I havve read plenty of books, mostly novels. Ken Follet and John Irving are one of favorite authors.

I like any kind of movies, except horrors ones. I'm too scary when it gets too dark! And I live with it!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have done few things I will ever remember:
- making a bonfire in the middle of the Moroccan desert, in the middle of nowhere
- kayaking at sunset on Mekong river
- being two centimeters away from being hit by an elephant trumpet!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach: french cook, french mentality (maybe not the best haha), and... french :)
I'd like to learn how to appreciate any country I plan to visit with amazing people, sharing good vibes!
Being open minded, I'd like to learn anything (within my capacities) as long as it is taught by someone passionate!
