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 ;)

Interests

I am keen on sports. I like to practise particularly football and tennis, skiing, and cycling (I really enjoy bike tours and cycling trips).
I also am interested by watching sports at TV or in the stadium (rugby, football, tennis and all international main event like world cup or olympics games).

I am fascinated by mountains and really appreciate hikking.

I'm interested in history and geography.
I like cooking and good food.(and alcool ;)
I like playing cards and parlour games.
I like the explorations in the catacombs of paris.
I like music (but unfortunately can't play nor sing).
I like the logic and sudoku.

I could continue this list, but I think it's still enough !!

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 ...)
