About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Try and see a lot of different things, I don't want to have any regrets

ABOUT ME

I think I'm a pretty open-minded guy. I like to discover new things, I rarely say no when I'm offered a new experience, which sometimes leads to a very full schedule!
I teach biology and geology in high school and I like it. I've been living in several places for my studies and my work: Lyon, Paris, Montpellier, Chinon. I arrived in Oyonnax because of my work and I really liked the area and the people so I'have settled here for several years now.
I really like to travel, going away for one month and discovering new places and people. I especially like Latin America, I like speaking Spanish.
I'm also pretty concerned with the environment so I now try to reduce my plane trips. There are also lots of things to see and people to meet in France and Europe.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I discovered CS in 2008 before my trip in Argentina. It enabled me to meet nice people from Argentina and Switzerland.
I took part in the CS Snowboard fest in April 2010 ant it was really amazing!
I'd like to meet more people and I'd be happy to host people in my place.

Interests

I enjoy a lot of different things like music, sports, movies, travels, games, books, circus ...
I like listening to music and seeing live music. I play drums and I occasionnally play with friends in a small rockband.
I really like riding my bike, especially my mountain bike. I also play tennis and badminton and I do paragliding. In winter I go skiing and snowboarding.
I like to go to the cinema and to watch TV series, some of my favorite ones being Friends, Grey's anatomy, Desperate Housewives, the Sopranos, Lost, ER ...
I like doing game parties with my friends, playing Taboo, Pictionnary, Time's up ... I also play bridge and other cards games like belote (a french game).
I like going to circus shows and I also do some circus activities like juggling with balls and clubs and riding a unicyle.
I'm pretty awkward with everything related to water!
