About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Discover the secret of the teleportation!

ABOUT ME

I am a very open-minded person, ready for new experiences and ready to get to know more people and cultures.

My favorite color is blue.

I like to explore countries less rich and/or less developped than my native country because I think it gives you important perspectives and make you realize how much you have and how much you should appreciate what you have - even basic things such as drinkable tap water or hot shower or 3 meals per day.

If I had the chance to hook up with a superheroe, I'd choose Batman.

I like to drink and to go out. And no, you will NOT manage to convince me that a Jägerbomb is made with Jägermeister and Redbull... it is made with BEER!

I may be a bit stubborn sometimes (probably my French genes trying to express themselves)

If I had a superpower, it would be teleportation. If not available, I guess I'd be fine with being able to eat endlessly without never getting fat.

I studied engineering, but I'd rather watch a theatre play, do some crafts or read a good book than solve any kind of equations. Especially if it is related to Thermodynamics. I hate Thermodynamics.

Being fluent in Russian is on my to do list.

Enough writting now! Let's just go for a beer together and talk... Best way to get to know someone! - a tea is fine too, let's not be so restrictive ;)

PHILOSOPHY

Be yourself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Meeting, activities, surfing, showing city around, etc.
I have been hosting quite a lot of people since I've been living in UB, and there were always great experience! :)

Interests

Cooking (and i'm good at it :p ), Sport (much less good at that haha), reading, going out with friends, theatre,art craft, eating raw pasta (yes, raw ones! So good! You should give it a try too ;) ) ...

Music, Movies, and Books

Books: My favorite authors definitely are Stephen King and Amélie Nothomb!I think I even probably read almost every book they wrote.
I also like very much Edgar Allan Poe and Guy de Maupassant but also Greek mythology and fairy tales.

Movies: i really like movies which make you think (like Mr Nobody) and make you feel something (such as Requiem for a Dream). But when i simply wanna relax, i'd rather go for an action movie (Expendables!) or horror movie but the ones with real story (Saw!) not only bloody scenes and hot chicks screaming ^^!

Music: well, most of my friends usually say that I have a huge lack of musical knowledge...which - I confess - is true. But I do like listening to music, and I always enjoy when people share their musical tastes with me ;)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

* I piloted a (little!) plane. =)
* I ate every kind of weird food we were able to find in Asia... :D
* I watched a movie in Hungarian and almost entirely understood it... and believe me, this is an amazing thing ^^
* Once, I ate peanuts in the Singaporean subway (Soooo badass, i know!!)

Teach, Learn, Share

*I recently learnt a Chinese tongue twister! So I can teach it to you now because i think it's pretty cool to be able to say it!! Even kind of awesome :D (Well if i haven't forgotten it by the time we meet... otherwise you'll have to be content with a French one :/ )
*And, much more useful: i'm pretty good at baking COOKIES! Would definitely share it with you too ;)
