About Me

Parisian, born and raised ! love my city as much as I love eating cheese and traveling the world. I have my few secret places, like Paris rooftops, to name just one (Enough for the spoilers ;) ) Hope I can make you discover it one day !

I've hit the road a few times now :
a hundred days to explore the Mediterranean see, from Paris🇫🇷 to Palestine 🇵🇸
another hundred days to hit the silk road, from Paris 🇫🇷 to China 🇨🇳. No plane nor ho(s)tel.
Fifty days to go up the Amazon river, from the Atlantic 🇧🇷 to the Pacific 🇪🇨.
Fifty days to go up the Nile rive, from Alexandria 🇪🇬 to Khartoum 🇸🇩

I love travelling with nothing but my enthusiasm and the crazy people I meet on the way. An amazing experience that brought me alive.

While not traveling, I follow my passion : Neuro and Cognitive sciences. I'm working on neuro-cognitive modeling of consciousness, which mean that I'm trying to bring what make us conscious into super computer's simulations. A tough work that keep me up at night way too often!

I'm not the kind of guy who likes partying all the time, I really rather endless talk.

Damn It's hard to talk to a computer about myself ! Let's catch up, I'll tell you everything !

-- IMPORTANT NOTICE : I'm not using couchsurfing as a dating website, so I won't answer to flirty messages or messages coming from someone with only male references (no matter if you're a girl or a boy). Thx :) --

PS : If you like my profile but have your pretty copy paste message ready, just add that there are no cheese but in France ❤️

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Traveling is not about the place you see, it's about the people you meet.

Couchsurfers are among the greatest people I've ever met. Always kind, helpful and smiling. They helped me so much during my own travels, keeping me from sleeping in a bus station, and warming me up with some tea.
I can't stand the idea of going somewhere without meeting you. I love you guys !
