Overview
About Me
Well... I was born in a flat (mountainerly speaking) part of France, then I moved in Grenoble in order to "study".
Study was the plan, but let be honnest, the call of the mountains is strong in that city ! For two years now, I spent and I still spend a lot of time hiking, climbing, running and so on, around the city.
To be honest, it also happen that I just sit around a table with a bunch of friends and a pint of beer (some pubs in Grenoble are very pleasant, and I'll be happy to advice you on this subject ! ;) ).
Last but not least, I have some cooking skills, and depending of the mood of the day, you may enjoy some CRAZY cookies or a good "quiche"... (well, do not expect pieces of art either, but still...).
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Finding a place to sleep should not be a stop to the desire of travelling. I love the idea that something as simple as an internet community make it easier.
The concept allow everyone to travel with a tight budget, experience the city you visit with the advices a local host can provide and of course, spend good time with the people you meet !
Interests
Mountain sports and "apéro", that is both a representative and a non-exhaustive summary of my interests. I believe I am a curious person !
Music, Movies, and Books
I'm not a constant reader, but still, I have some moments when I really enjoy diving into the Sci-Fi universe of Isaac Asimov. Another author, another style : Antoine de Saint-Exupéry and his Petit Prince is integral part of my bedside table !
On the subject of movies, I chose the easy way of citing the IMDb top 250 as my favorites... I have great time enjoying all types of movies : from the black & white classicals (Hitchcock and his Psychose) to moderns pieces of art (such as Interstellar)...
As well as for the cinema, I enjoy almost every type of music. I am particularly found of rock and electro music (Dropkick Murphy's, Pink Floyd, Noir Désir, Arctic Monkeys, Fakear, Ratatat, The White Stipes - and every other band where you can find Jack White, actually -, Panda Dub...). Well, that is from far the less exhaustive part here, let's tell I am listening a little bit of everything !
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Sooner that year, I and a friend did the trip to the south of France, to climb in the calanques. The plans for the night were vague, and we were at the "beer drinking while watching the sunset from the bitch" step. Then we met a group of musicians who came here to play percussions, sing and have a drink.
After an awesome moment in their company, we just hang the hammocks near to the sea. Seagull and waves noises as alarm clock, that was perfect.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I would be happy, at first, to share with my guests a comfortable place to stay for the night.
Depending whether or not I have free time, we can have diner together and why not have a drink in town ! I would be happy to share with you good plans and advices to be sure you have a good moment in Grenoble.
Last but not least, you may LOVE experience a shower with Léo (the dolphin that lives in our bathroom).
