ABOUT ME

I was born in Quimper, France where I have spent all my life. Quimper is in Britanny, a beautiful region of France located in North West with a plenty of beautiful landscapes,beaches, islands,etc. The weather gets very rainy during winter which I don't like so much.

I studied sciences in High School (bac S), and after having graduated from High School I went to a two year preparation program to schools of engineers, however, I didn't like it and I questionned myself about my future in this kind of branch.

Then I changed my mind and went to university to study languages. Last year I decided to fill my experience by going in international exchange in the United States.
So far I ve been in the US for 9 months and it's been great: travels, new encounters, new experiences.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is too short to be wasted.
I am a philantropist and I think that everyone in the world can teach me something. I don't have the knowledge of everything and I will never have but I like to be taught new things, new concepts by the people I meet.

I use my life, to get enriched, be more comprehensive of our surrounding and discover the World.

I am not a believer,but I totally respect people involved in their belief. Religions don't bother me except when they interfere with other religions and brew problems.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I participate in couchsurfing by travelling, being friendly with the people that host me, making new friends and surely by sharing my experiences.

CS is a great network and we all in charge to preserve it and make it better.
The world should be like CS as far as we should all bust trustful to others.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had one experience so far in Chicago and it was fun but short only one day.
But I am really looking forward to developing my cousurfer network more.

I am not crazy about reading, but I read a lot more in English since I have been here to improve my English, my favourite books are : The Wave (Todd Strasser),and other French books. I like reading poetry because it teaches you lessons and morals.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One amazing thing I have done was an amazing bike trick when I was 16 years old. I was actually the second Frenchman nationwide able to land it.
