Overview
About Me
ABOUT ME
Well, I think to describe himself is a very hard thing but anyway I'm going to try. First of all I would say I like the life, laughing and having fun with my friends. I am an open person, who like to get know new people and particularly from other cultures or speaking different languages because, I'm persuaded that it brings a lot and that we also can learn about ourselves.
I am curious and enjoy to discover other places and to make new experiences, that's why I participate at the CS project.
PHILOSOPHY
We recognise a skilled person at his answers, but we recognise a wise person at his questions. (citation of Naguib Mahfouz, an egyptian novelist)
Curiousity is for me a sign of open-mindedness.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I don't have lots of time during the week, so I prefer to host people during the week-end, where I'm more disponible.
I unfortunately haven't had the opportunity to travel with CS, but I intend to catch up next year, once I'm over with studying ;)

Music, Movies, and Books
Movies: Oldboy, Hurricane Carter, Lost in translation (just for Scarlett Johansson), The Lord of The Ring, Das Leben der Anderen, Scarface, Pulp Fiction, ...
But I think, the movie I prefer is a french comedy named Le Diner de Cons, but you must be french to understand it.
Music : I am a big fan of Pink Floyd, I like rock music from the 70's and 80's like Bob Dylan, Neil Young, The Doors, Johnny Cash, The Who, Queen, Led Zeppelin, Beatles. I also hear Bob Marley, hip hop, old french artists, and german music.
Books: The little prince (Saint Exupery), and les miserables (Victor Hugo) are maybe the two books I 've read, that I will highly recommand. (but there are so many ...)
