I like running and sports in general. I walk several hours, and like to get lost in the streets.

My English level is basic and I started learning spanish 1 month ago.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m in a moment of my life when I really want to discover new people, new lifestyles, new landscapes.
I’m an art student, I’m really interested by Mexico city, and I want to discover the atmosphere of this city because I plan to live there in the future, to continue my artwork. I think this place would be really enriching for the evolution of my work.

Music, Movies, and Books

I really love music of all kinds, and I have a growing interest on for noise, basically.

But if I have to choose, I would say that my favorite kind of song is the love song.

My background music culture is founded on hip hop and caribbean vibes, and rap songs allowed me to know a lot more about jazz music.

Finally here are three songs that are really important to me :

- Waiting in vain, Bob Marley (sorry it's very cliché)
- War of the heart, Sade

- Nirvana, Doc Gynéco (a french song)

Actually, I also have the same interest for pop music like Drake than art/academic music like John Zorn.
All these things sound like really specific shades of music but I listen a lot different stuffs.

I started reading very late in my life, and right now it’s becoming more and more important to me. I read "Crash" by J. G. Ballard and "Queer" by William Burrought.
I love fiction and stories, but I have a bigger interest in essay and short poems. I have a big respect, inspiration, and reflexion for Antonin Artaud, George Bataille and Mike Davis, an american sociologist.

My favorite movie would probably be Festen, by Thomas Vintenberg. But I like deep and tense movies.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

This summer, I worked on a barge that sailed in Europe.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to improve my Spanish and English skills, I can teach you some french words in exchange. I have a good technique in photography, if you want to, I can teach you that.

I can also exchange about creation in general, making art projects with people, show and speak about my process, my work and my points of view.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Kindness, positive vibration for a party, exchanging, cooking and bringing french wine !
