About Me

Kind of a nerd, playing video games and all, but that side of me is balanced with a party-loving side, a let's explore wild areas alone and a let's build a better, leftier society.
I live in a Paris' suburb, where I find people to be more lovely than inside Paris

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None yet !

Interests

- Partying
- Watching movies
- Festivals
- Brain-building : I'm interested in everything than can improve my understanding of the world, including history, geopolitics, ethnology, sociology, economics, psychology, art, mathematics, physics, biology, and last but not least philosophy. I know, there's quite a lot to learn in these, that's why I need you !
- Drinking beer
- Writing. Haven't done much of it yet, but there's plenty of draft waiting for it.
- Playing cards and video games (oh yeah, forgot to tell you : I'm a nerd !)
- Bicycling (except in Paris, cause if you shut your brain down, you'll die)
