About Me

World French stereotype
I quit my home town in Normandy and travel the world to understand myself better and discover new mentalities. Any new experience is welcome. My philosophy is to travel without plans or expectations.
The purpose of my travel is to encounter new cultures and learn more about the different ways of living.
I was studying pharmacy for 5 years but it wasn’t for me and I finally had the courage to quit.
I’m in love with everything related to nature. I’m really into sciences too cause I like to understand the world around me. That’s why I love all kind of biologies but also psychology, sociology, communication, .. etc. I try to live like a local when I visiting a country. I think that the proper way to travel is to learn some of the language of the county I’m in and to adapt yourself to the life style and not the opposite.
I like to connect with people by every possible way. Music is pretty useful! I play piano, saxophone and ukulele. I’m eager to learn more instrument but for now my projects are more focus on making fictions videos and documentaries. I’ve been trying to write a series about folklore, myths and legends of the country I’m visiting.
I would like to improve myself in directing, editing... I truly love cinema since I’m a child.
I also like a good party to relax :D
I’m French so obviously I love a good wine! And my god.. I miss cheese so much. But I would love to discover more of your food culture ! I love to cook so I’m looking for new ingredients and technics everyday.
I eventually want to go back to studies but not until I find the perfect thing for me. I’m not doing this mistake again 😅 it won’t be in France, that’s for sure. The education system is definitely not for me! I’d like to try a other way of learning. I’m really interested by neurosciences. I might study it in Canada someday.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to live like a local. This is the best way to understand a population and its culture. Couchsurfing is very useful to connect with local especially when you are a backpacker. Sometimes, you only spend time with others backpackers, which is very good too ! But could be hard to find friendly locals when you are leaving in hostel.

Interests

I think I said it all ! I can add to the list: hiking, shopping, swimming, observing animals, video games... as long as you offering something to do I’ll always say yes to try it out.

Music, Movies, and Books

The is the most boring answer but.. I listen to every types of musics. The only things I don’t like would be reggaeton or zouk. Otherwise I think that every way to experience something is interesting to discover.

As I said earlier, I’m a cinema lover. I really want to add my own creation to this world. I will do it someday even if it’ll take a life time. For this I’m watching a lot of movies, series, documentaries, animation, ... etc I try to get the best out of everything and learn more or create new ideas for it. I’m watching movies from every country always in original version.

About reading, I wish I do it more. I try to get back to it slowly but it’s hard sometimes due to a lack of free time. But I really like fantasy and investigations books. I like French poetry also but I listen to it more than I read it. Otherwise, I still have my child soul so I love some comics time to time.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I finally decided to live for myself. This way, my creativity expended thanks to my experiences, the people I met on my journey, and my vision of my surroundings. I think the thing I’m the most proud of is the tv show I’m writing at the moment helped by my observation.

Or for something funnier, I guess skydiving in New Zealand was truly amazing! Something that I never thought I would do.

Teach, Learn, Share

I play some instruments I can teach you ! I love to teach a bit of the languages I know and I always try to learn the language of the country I’m in. My cinematic culture is quite good so we can share movies if you’re into this. We can share food knowledge also! I would love to cook for you. I don’t like to do it for myself but live to cook for other to share a meal and have some feed back.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I want to give the envy to travel the world of you don’t have it already. I want to show my culture and the few things I know about our planet. I respect every point of view and try to understand why you are thinking differently than I do instead of closing myself to an interesting conversation. The way we can talk openly and get to know each other without jugement.
