CURRENT MISSION

trying to be French and learn something

ABOUT ME

I am free and independant... I feel too young to settle anywhere and work so I travel anywhere I can find a job linked to Architecture. I like being alone and walk, write, take photographs and draw about life around me.

I am a sarcastic person. I am grumpy on the morning and I love spending time complaining, criticizing and seeking the negative things around me and turning them into jokes, it doesnt mean I am unhappy, it means I open my eyes on the world. Nevertheless I am in awe of petty pretty things that makes the world a wonder : a plastic bag playing in the wind, a flower growing between the concrete...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I hosted when I had a couch in Shanghai... and now that I am homeless, I surf. That's the spirit, exchange, balance, I always feel so grateful for the people who host me and then try to be a perfect host for my guests !

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Very good so far. I will show my gratitude by leaving your space clean, cook, share things with you, talk or leave you alone if it is what you want...

Music, Movies, and Books

Currently reading French literature as I realised after one year living in China that I actually did not know much about my own country. Now reading "Le Rouge et Le Noir" by Stendhal.
Tried to read Fifty Shades of Grey but thought it is bullshit, stupid story very cheesy with orgasms every chapters, don't see the point. Reminded me I should stop reading best-sellers.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- Scuba-diving with seals in Scotland !
- Drinking 81 different Single Malts Whiskies in a year in a Whisky Society in Edinburgh.
- Survived Shanghai
- Cycled 2000km from Shanghai to Hong-Kong
