About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Explore. Dream. Discover.

ABOUT ME

I've always found it hard to answer when people ask me where I'm from. "I'm from France. My family is from Brittany. But I never lived in France so..." -"So how do you explain the french accent !?", people ask me. Well, if you want the long version you'll have to be patient ^^ The short one is that I was lucky enough to live in many different places. I think that made me become an easy-going person, very open-minded and eager to learn from others and discover new things.
Apart from that, I work in environmental conservation: I roam the forest, collect seeds, grow them and plant them back in the wild. Good job hey :p ? I also work with small farmers to develop agroecological practices :)
Sooo to sum up you could say I'm a nature lover. But don't try to make me hike every week-ends, I love being lazy and stay at home or on a beach x)

PHILOSOPHY

There is nowhere to go but everywhere, so just keep on rolling under the stars

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I surf, I host and can't wait to do it again as I realise how much I like to meet new people and welcome them in my small world ^^ !

Interests

Hmm... Food. Has to be. (Beware, french people can never stop thinking and talking about food ahah.) That's one main reason why I love traveling ! Not just for that of course, I also have a great interest for nature, animals and plants I might meet aroud the corner (just don't let it be too big, or with to many legs please...).

Music, Movies, and Books

There are sooo many great movies... But I particularly I enjoy french, asian and SF movies. Just to name a few of my favourites: Gattaca, Cloud Atlas, Rock'n'Rolla, Eastern Promises, Hero, "Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter... and Spring", 99Francs, La Folie des Grandeurs, La Haine...
When I say I like a movie well I mean I reaaaally like it and often my favourite part is the soundtrack, so I listen a lot to the composers Hans Zimmer, Clint Mansell, John Williams, Nobuo Uematsu etc. Apart from that I'm not difficult I tend to listen to every kind of music : Cesaria Evora, Nina Simone, Daft Punk, MC Solar, Amon Tobin, Massive Attack, Gregory Isaac, Air, Chinese Man...

Now if you want to discuss about books, I can't say I'm an expert but I do read a lot :) Here are the writers I hope I could make you want to read: Isaac Asimov, Terry Pratchett, Boris Vian, Haruki Murakami, Yoko Ogawa, René Barjavel...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
