About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To rock and be rocked

ABOUT ME

After flirting with France for a few years, she and I have decided to commit. We've agreed to a few months of studies in Toulouse, and after that if she still thinks I'm swell maybe we'll get married. The years leading up to this have included such things as: working on cruise ships, making records, traveling, learning to cook, teaching music and drinking a lot of coffee.

Après avoir voyagé beaucoup en France, j'ai décidé que habiter ici serait un bon idée. Mon decision était correct. J'étais étudiant de la français pendant plusieurs mois, et en ce moment je suis prof d'anglais. Très original, je sais. Avant tout ça, j'étais musicien, prof de plusieurs choses, voyageur, et buveur sérieux du café.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've surfed quite a lot, but only recently have had the opportunity to host people. Both are very cool. For the moment I've got as much as a stable life as I've ever had, so I'm looking forward to hosting a bit more.

J'ai été hébergé beaucoup, mais récément j'avais l'opportunité pour acceiller des gens. Les deux sont chouette. Pour l'instant, j'ai une vie assez stable, et j'ai hâte d'acceiller des gens.

Tous les gens que j'avais rencontré grâce à couchsurfing sont très interessants et vraiment gentils.

I've sailed the Amazon and fed a hyena out of my hand.

J'ai navigué de l'Amazone et nourri un hyène à la main.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a professional guitarist. I'd be glad to share my skills with whomever. And with the right tools, I make a mean cup of coffee.
