About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Save the world ?

ABOUT ME

Well, I am a student in English and Linguistics in my Master degree. I am a french guy who likes partying, travelling, meeting people, jumping in the snow, the sand or the water. I really appreciate eating, drinking and sleeping, which are the main activities of my life. Apart from that I am an amateur filmmaker back in France, and I am currently writing the screenplay of my next movie, a film noir.
I cook quite well when I get the time to. I listen to music, as everybody does, and watch movies, which is as surprising.
Let's say if you want to know something, just ask me, it will be better than filling this random description of myself.

PHILOSOPHY

Waaaa.
Let's discuss that when we meet ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Back in France, I can now host people.
I can give advices to people travelling to France or Louisiana, have a beer with them and show them the places that can interest them if they are close to the place I am.
And I can tell them how I can help them if they just ask for help by sending an e-mail :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had a road trip with friends from France in the USA, from Baton Rouge to San Francisco and then to Miami during winter 2007-08, and we used Couch Surfing to find hosts in all the cities we went to. It was an amazing experience, and great times shared with our hosts who were all really kind and helping, showing us the places interesting to visit, partying with us, and making us feel comfortable.

Interests

Cinema, Literature, Music, Role Playing Games, Traveling, and other things that I can't remember at the moment, such as sleeping in the grass next to a lake on a sunny day, or reading a book in front of the chimney after a snowball battle...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Swimming in the sea in Barcelona on a New Year's Eve. And jumping on cops' cars in Barcelona, during the same night, when they were trying to refrain the people from wildly partying on the main square of the city. It was kind of amazing too...

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm an amateur filmmaker, maybe I can share things about that. I can also do that amazing thing with my eyes...
