About Me

CURRENT MISSION

improve as a movie maker

ABOUT ME

From Brittany, France, I live in Paris and work as an Ingeneer and I am 35. I am a very curious and open minded person. That's the main reason I like to travel and meet people from different culture, religion and country. I like to learn (try :)) the languages too :)

I like very quite person since I never get myself nervous (I never shout!). I like having fun but keeps serious. For exemple I do not like drinking too much and sleeping late. I prefer to communicate with such people too.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I just had my inscription on the site so no experience today

Interests

I love art of photography and like to practice it for portraits in numerous trips. I like making some video report of the place I visit.

My curiosity leads me to learn the language of each place I visit even if I am not gifted for that :) Like that I could approach different language (Japanese, Amarhic, Indonesian, Thai, Portuguese, Greek). Usually I speak fluent english and have the basics in spanish. For my next trip I am learning chinese and will learn russian too.

In addition to that I like trekking and try to pratice on trips.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My first diving with bottles was in Raja Ampat Island, a very saved natural place. Even if I had not the certificat I was allowed to dive because they saw I was good in apnea (I did a lot in Brittany) and we did some little testing.
It was a Manta cleaning station spot and luckily I had opportunity, on this first dive, to admire several big manta skate fishes.

Another very nice feeling was this summer 2012 when I decide to stay in France for holidays and having a trek around Mont Blanc in Alpas mountains. At the end I scheduled an alpinism initiation and a climb on the Mont Blanc with a guide. Since the meteo has been bad for the begining of my trek and my knees had little dolor I was pretty unsure to succeed joining summit. But when the initiation started the weather became clean and came perfect on the climbing days. I had to manage the knee dolor and was afraid of my reaction at altitude. This day there was not so many people and approaching the summit was one of the most esthetic experience in my life. Reaching it was so beautiful and the suspens had been so big for me that I had tears in my eyes on the last meters :)
I recommand France visitors to visit this place :)
