About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Working like crazy! Otherwise: seeking happiness ! (tough one I know, but I'm getting there!)

ABOUT ME

What I'm like? hmm hard to say, but I'll give it a try!

Regular French student (medicine), love to travel and discover any kind of new stuff (I'm the curious type of guy), sometimes a little shy but never for long. Easy going and open minded, definitely into sports, outdoors and anything that has to do with mountains :)
Food !! oh yes, what better sensation than tasting something knew and unknown, or simply something you love (chocolate, meat, wine etc etc !) ... however I not a chef (yet), but I enjoy cooking !!
Depending on my mood I can be receptive to art (painting and photography mostly) and like taking a millions pictures of the same thing just to have the perfect shot!

PHILOSOPHY

evolving ...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm kind of tall so I can't just sleep in your bathtub, but I'll still be very happy if you let me sleep on your floor ! And, I can allways try to help you with any problems you might have (not shure I'll resolve it but I can still try !)

Just hope to bring happiness around me, and have a good time!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Had some really fun and intense couch surfing experiences, and hopefully will be able to host one day ;)

Interests

Having a simple conversation, sipping a beer on a sunny afternoon, putting my skis on to enjoy some fresh snow, reaching the top of a mountain, getting nuts listening to a guitar solo, laughing until my stomac hurts, take my stick and skates and get on the ice, enjoying a good meal with a tasty wine or simply stop thinking and dream!

Music, Movies, and Books

movies: once in while, always nice !

Music: just can't live without it! Especially good old Rock n' Roll, hard rock, and anything with guitars, drums etc. but also electro, Alternative, blues ... most important, I like discovering knew sounds/artists => what's your favourite ?

books: I'm not a big reader but enjoy a good novel, I'll defenitly bring one with me when traveling.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Catching a 30 pound salmon

My 8 months travel around south America and South East Asia in 2010

Experiencing rain in the middle of a desert ! (Joshua tree national park, California)

Watching a killer whale swimming 2 meters away from me

Reading "Macbeth" (Shakespeare) in English, with my high school class ... probably not a big deal for you, but a big achievement for me! (Even though I didn't understand a word of it!)
