I live in Brest, I was born there, but I still don't understand anything about this city, I guess this is why I'm still here. I stay in an old house with four friends, a cat, a lonely rooster, a big tree and three horses as neighbors. The place is also a concert venue, we host and organize events about once a month, so there's usually a lot of people at home, but it will be more calm in the summer and easier to host surfers.

I studied stage scenography and work sometimes as a guide in art centers or museums. It's work, but somehow this is not a real job, rather a way to meet, discuss and play with different people everyday. At the same time, I begin to work on projects involving ceramics, landscapes, photography and the whale called 52 Hz.

If this is a place for quotes, I'll put this one from the writer Tarjei Vesaas :

"À qui parlons-nous, lorsque nous nous taisons?" (≈ "who are we talking to, when we stay silent?")

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For the moment I only experienced Couchsurfing as a guest, but now I stay somewhere, I'd be happy to host through this network, even if we already welcome people at home. The more I meet people through this community, the more I want to be involved in it!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I met the man acting Greedo in Star Wars and we discussed about the weather or that kind of things, and it was okay.

Teach, Learn, Share

Walker Evans said : "Die knowing something."
but also
"The more I get old, the more I grow in ignorance,
the more I have lived, the less I possess and the less I reign.
All I have is a space, alternately
snowy or bright, but never occupied."

(raw traduction of L'ignorant, P. Jaccottet)

Anyway I like sharing music, short movies, recipes and doing crepes

What I Can Share with Hosts

I like to cook when I am with others. Wether being your guest or host I'll be glad to offer some meal!
If I welcome you, it also means I'll have some time to show you around, take you to little concert places... as other people did when I was their guest.
