I am French PhD student who deals mostly with Particle Physics (The Big Bang Theory, yes, that's right) , I am keen on going abroad and talking foreign languages, which is also the reason why I am a former Erasmus student from the KTH school (Stockholm)! Blasting nearly 24/7, music drives a good part of my life!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am not keen on visiting a city as if I were visiting a Zoo, I don't like being the outsider peeping at the dragons through the bars! I want to fly with the dragons too!

I like to see what people from another country actually do on an every day basis! I am set on hearing what they think, whether it's about food or music, about museums or about skiing. I am interested in retrieving that valuable piece of information the name of their favourite supermarket is (kidding slightly)! I bent on learning about all the great plans around instead of being a mug abroad.

I simply want to see a country with its own people, and not in a book (though I like reading them, as I enjoy reading all the signs in a museeum)!
