I grew up in Figeac, a small town in the southwest of France. I then moved to Clermont-Ferrand to do engineering studies in Civil Engineering.
I think I can describe myself as a very curious man, hungry for culture. I like to discover new points of view and way of thinking.

I'm currently living with 4 friends (2 men and a couple) in a house in Sophia Antipolis (Valbonne). We are all between 24 - 28.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I did a solo bike trip across Europe (From France to Romania) during summer 2016. Couchsurfing and warmshower members hosted me number of times ! This journey is definitly my best experience, and couchsurfing permited me to meet a lot of people from several cultures. You can't really know in advance how it's going to be, but every time, you discover someone knowlegeable who want to exchange.

When I visit a country, I think the most interesting thing is not to do touristic tour and see the buildings, but more discover the culture of the country by spending time with local people.

I'm french, so I know that my english is definitly not the best, but I enjoy to speak english, and I really want to improve this skill. I'm sure that couchsurfing experiences ae the best way for this.

Interests

My passions are cycling (on any type of road or path) and surfing. I listen to lots of music, always looking for new sounds, and I play the drums since I was young.

I currently play drums in a band in Nice. You can check our FB page : https://www.facebook.com/firstcametheshadow/

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing thing I've done is a bike trip trought Europe ;)

I also was president of an association when I was a student. The objective of this association was to developp culture and arts in my engineering school. We organized different activities like Cooking, Oenology, Pictures, Video, Magic etc..
I think this experience makes me grow up a lot !

... And of course playing live with my band !
