About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Meet awesome people in nice places.

ABOUT ME

Hello guys, I'm just another fellow traveler trying to discover as much as I can. This is why i'm going for a trip around the world with my girlfriend for one year and a half!

PHILOSOPHY

I'd rather walk than run (but sometimes it's good to run otherwise you get killed by a seal).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can't host people right now because I'm living in a traditional parisian appartment, which means it's really small (like really really small).

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Back in 2013 I've spent 5 months in New-Zealand travelling with a friend and my backpack, we used his profile to Couchsurf and I'd like to keep going by my own now !

Music, Movies, and Books

Music, I don't play anything wich is a shame but I listen to a shit-ton of songs and artists, mostly indie-rock. I love the Madchester song, 60's psyche pop (Them, Kinks...), punk (The Clash, Wire...), 00's : Julia Holter, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Yellow Days, Kikagaku Moyo, Thee Oh Sees, James Blake, Nicolas Jaar, Jay Reatard, Whitney, Mild High Club...
Otherwise I like to read a good book by now and then, I'm reading "Anima” by Wadji Mouawad at the time I'm writing this message.
Concerning cinema, I like the new wave, especially Jean-Luc Godard and I watch TV Shows too, from Rick & Morty to Kidding and Fargo !

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been chased by a seal in Kaikoura (New-Zealand) was one of the scariest thing ever as I didn't expect it at all. It tried to corner us, I tell you guys !

Teach, Learn, Share

I can help you if you're struggling with french and I'll be more than happy to learn a few things concerning your mother tongue. I'm far from being a chef but I do know how to make crêpes (~thin pancakes from France) and I love to cook. I'm not too bad when it comes to talk about music and I love to learn new things and talk about the meaning of life after a few drinks.
