About Me

Curious, open minded, I like cooking and doing the dishes. But I'd like to experience your food as well :) I can cook dishes from France or other parts of the world and I can eat pretty much everything except cheese that isn't melt. Am I only half French then? Well I guess everything's not all black and white!

PS : I'm a very good listener more than a talkative person so I'd love to learn more about your country and tell you about mine.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've been living abroad for some time during my studies but never experienced meeting locals and their day to day life. My roomates most often were from other countries than the one I was living in. Now I'm 30 and want to change this missed opportunity into one I have exeprienced, maybe thanks to you !

Interests

Music (Rock, pop, punk, electronic music, rap/hip hop...)
Tennis (and former baseball/softball player)
Videogames
Rare people/thoughts/habbits... Like being French, playing baseball and hating cheese !

+ everything you want to talk about !

  • music
  • electronic music
  • guitar
  • tennis
  • videogames
  • improvisation theater
  • melt cheese

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I just can't choose, depends on the mood of the moment!

Movies: Wayne's world, underrated sci-fi movies (Starship troopers, Ender's game, H2G2...), all kind of movies from blockbusters to turn my brain off once in a while to Zach Braff's movies to shed a tear.

Books: Silo trilogy, Fred Vargas Polars, Videogame history... But I read less than I do other stuff

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

While having only a couple of years of learning English and Spanish, I had to be a translator from a Romanian friend speaking only English to his landlady speaking only Spanish.

"A French and an american guys are playing baseball on a Spanish beach" Does it sound like the beginning of a joke? Well it happened to me anyway.

Teach, Learn, Share

Did you know Daft Punk are French? That Ubisoft was created in western France? That French fries are actually Belgian? I can find more French facts for you!

Also can learn basics of improv and guitar and some recipes I know.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My story full of ups and downs, my jokes and wordplays, my okay cooking and my awesome doing the dishes skills! And if you know some pop rock songs I could play and sing on the guitar for you that'd be awesome too.
