I am a French scientist currently living in Zurich, Switzerland. Except of science, I am fund of traveling. I enjoy discovering new cultures, way of lives, meeting new people and learning languages. It makes one reflect on our own way of life and take a step back.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really like the concept of sharing what one has. This could be home but also point of view, life experiences.

Interests

I like traveling, outdoors activities, hiking, climbing, cycling. Last year I travel through Europe by bike and cycle the Tour de France one day before the pro-cyclists! Traveling by bike is awsome. I really feel inside the landscape and I met a lot of great people on the way.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am a big fan of music. I play the saxophone. I like quite a big range of music, from jazz to indie rock, electro. Going to see it live is also great.
My favourite song of the moment is Retro Funk by Percephone, Electro music with a saxophone! I also discoverved Ghost Culture recently listen to Mouth!
Else I like Florence and the Machine, Foals, Franz Ferdinand, Charlie Parker, Duke Ellington, Bakermat, Klingande, Kasabian, Travis, the Zuttons and many others. I really like listening to new things.
When I have time I like reading too. Traveling litterature "l'usage du monde" of Nicolas Bouvier, George Orwell, "The diceman" Luke Rhinehart...
And watching rather independent movies, I watched and enjoyed almost all Almodovar movies, Woddy Allen. Recently I liked Wilde Tales, The secret life of Walter Mitty, The imitation game.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

During my trip in Mongolia we have been invited to enter a ger and share tea and local specialties. I have been amazed by the hospitality, simplicity and authenticity of these people.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like reflecting on the world we live in. Find out ways we could develop to make it better. I can teach French, German or English and share my biology knowledge.
I would like to learn more Italian and Spanish.
