CURRENT MISSION

Meet new people. Learn Romani. Write more. Never stop learning things.

ABOUT ME

Let's start with the basics.
I'm 27. And I'm a translator. I'm French. For now, I live in Montreal, Canada.

I'm easy-going and adaptable, to people and to circumstances. I'm usually quiet and reflective, but with friends I become more of a cheerful person, often laughing and joking, and I can be very talkative. I like chatting with friends, pubs, spend a considerable amount of time in imaginary worlds. I'm not touchy and I like self-derision and absurd humour... Also absolutely fond of snakes (and reptiles in general, actually I wanted to become an herpetologist until cold stark reality got in my way) and other weird animals.

PHILOSOPHY
You get what everybody gets. You get a lifetime.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Occasionally hosted surfers, never been hosted yet. But this will hopefully change very soon !

Interests

Travels, obviously. Languages (if I could, I would learn every single language in the world), meeting new people and learning more about their culture and the way they live... I also love reading, and I write a lot (not "seriously" though, it's mainly on rpg fora), drawing, listening to all sorts of music (discovering new groups or artists, and make people discover musics that I like), watching stupid things on the internet or on tv, watching intelligent things on the internet or on tv...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Create whole worlds in my mind.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can try and teach you a bit of French, cook a nice risotto, and bore you to death with little things and anecdotes that I've learnt here and there. We can share travel stories and cultural differences, nice conversations on topics deep or futile.
And as for what I want to learn... Well, pretty much everything.
