Note: in Japan till September 4.

A European (French, German) from Brussels! I work on film and video (documentary, music videos, short films, promo etc). Easygoing, lively, german descended and mediterranean ties.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I like the idea: the discovery of people and their lives, sharing mine! And for realizing the dream of riding the wave in my sleep :)

Interests

Travels make good stories. Recently came back from shooting a documentary in Congo. We were following the minister of garbage, an amazing individual recycling waste by producing political art.

Aside of that I started a food experiment with a Japanese friend here in Brussels, trying to combine Belgian ingredients in Japanese recepies. We did some film catering and it was a blast.

I also help friends with selling tacos. Mexico is clearly on my list of must gos.

Music. Bassist in a band (Totem).

New worlds. Inner and outer: aikido, Japan!

Books, books, books!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Swimming at night in a sea of fluorescent plankton under the stars: both were melting together. Incredible!

Teach, Learn, Share

While hosting, I'd be happy to share tips about Brussels' night life ("some bars open very late, but is there really anything happening there?"), music/food/film events, if I'm available the evening when you'll be going out, I'd be happy to join.

If I'm travelling I'll share my experience with you, and learn from / about you! I hope we'll go out, have drinks and discover (or rediscover) places together.

And speak french with you ;)

What I Can Share with Hosts

An inspiring sense of enthusiasam, spontaneous fun and adventure, conversations on life and simple things, cooking and singing (sometimes with approximate lyrics :-)).
