I'm a visual artist, and I work mostly with photography.
I belong to an artist collective in Berlin, we are 55, it's a lot of energy and inspiration!
I'm working mostly with analog pictures, and I like to print myself in the dark room at night, while Berlin crowd is partying hard :)

One things I love most is to invent and tell fairy tales and then draw them. I have tons of notebooks filled with them.

About my lifestyle: I try consume organic as much as I can. I buy / possess as few as possible, and swap /recycle instead. I try to make people aware of alternative way of consuming as I can. We are producing way too much, aren't we? Working during 5 years in the marketing department of a bank quite opened my eyes on what was wrong!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm going to travel on my own to Sydney to make a Yoga Therapy Training about anxiety
I'm willing to meet local people who share the same interest with me : art and yoga !

In exchange, I'll bring you some of my artworks.
I'll be also happy to give you a private yoga class.
Or share some stories about my former life as an artist in Berlin, or my current life in New Caledonia !
I don't have ratings out of my friends, because it's the first time I'm actually trying Couchsurfing even though I subscribed years ago.
I heard so much positive experience that I'm really willing to try it.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite Music: catchy electro music to dance on it!
My favorite movie: District 9, a very intelligent Si-Fi movie. Unfortunately know as well know as it deserves.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I used to have the 'perfect life' for society: I had a stable job in a bank, I owned my flat, had a partner for a couple of years..
5 years after, I felt that it was just not for me!
I gave away all my stuff, left BF and cats with him (snif..), comfort and gigantic TV screens.
To embrace the bohemian artist life in Berlin.
It's not always easy, but I never regretted my choice!

Teach, Learn, Share

I started yoga almost 10 years ago, and I'm currently teaching in Noumea (New Caledonia).
I'm also teaching pregnancy yoga.
I'd be happy to share some of this knowledge with you !
