Born and raised in Paris. Worked for a couple of years there, then went off to Oxford to do my masters. Now I'm working in Dubai.

Beyond that, I really enjoy sports (squash, cycling) but hate running and the gym. I love reading, hiking, nature, good food and great wine (it's the frenchie in me), connecting with new people, and overall experiencing new things.

People I meet tend to tell me I look very innocent when they first meet me, but that impression doesn't last long. The truth is I'm a very shameless person, I like to laugh and have a very messed up sense of humor. The flip side is that I'm very accepting of other people. Overall, I'm a very outgoing and social person.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really enjoy meeting and connecting with interesting people, learning about different cultures, and being reminded that we are all more similar than we are different.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Tough call. Maybe paragliding around the Matterhorn?

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm very passionate about teaching, at one point I wanted to get my PHD and become a professor. In particular, I can teach economics, finance, math, or statistics. Probably freshman level physics as well.

Or (less boring for most people) French, English, squash.

If you have something to teach me, I'm already interested no matter what. However, I really would like to become a better photographer.

I want to share ideas, world views, experiences and cultures.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Well, I really enjoy teaching (see above). I can also give good advice on personal finance and investing.

I can cook a few really good dishes. I like to think I'm pretty funny.
