About Me

Passionate about botany and travel I finished my studies to make landscape designer now I want to discover the world to photograph it and to find inspiration there.
I love art, I will see exhibitions in Paris. Modigliani, Turner, Monet, Soutine, Chagall .. Here is some of my favorite.
I play the saxophone, I collect stamps, pipes, and old postcard.
I like sports (although my body does not show it hahaha :)) I have football and handball, I like volleyball, ping pong.
My father makes stained glass windows so when I go to my father's house I make glass necklaces and sometimes small stained glass.
I have always loved to travel, I am open-minded, tolerant and respectful

PHILOSOPHY:

I think the less we have and the more we are rich. Because when you have money you always want more, whereas when you live modestly you ask nothing and you are happy.
It is not something good or not good but it is in human nature.
For example in South Asia or other poor places they always have a smile ready to help you. In France we have everything but we're not happy, we're always busy.

Presidents should pass a law that, for example, young people between the ages of 18 and 30 must be saved to travel abroad for at least 1 month abroad. Because the journey is responsible and especially tolerant. When one understands the daily life and the life of the people one takes their place and one becomes less egoistic. Travel learns tolerance

"The only way to escape from a temptation is to give in. Resist and your soul becomes sick by languishing what it forbids." Oscar Wild (she's nice that's not it :)

"Who has not left his country is full of prejudices" Carlo Goldoni

"Only one being is missing and everything is depopulated." Lamartine

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet people from all over the world, learn new culture, exchange, debate, discover different ways of thinking
In couchsurfing I like the principle in itself. Today everything is bought. So to be able to go anywhere, to meet people from all over the world, to understand their life and their everyday life, I find it beautiful. The couchsurfing community is open-minded and our society is not. The more one is open-minded the more one is interested in the more the more one learns the more one understands the more people become tolerant, cultivated etc. It is a virtuous circle. I see couchsurfing as a family and our blood tie would be love for the journey

Music, Movies, and Books

MUSICS:

Marvin Gaye, Barry White. (What would be seduction without them ..? And also I think that without them there would be a lot less to be human on earth hahaha )
Zucchero, Adriano Celentano, Pavarotti, Ricardo Cocciante, Lucio Battisti. (my childhood)
Kendrick Lamar, Eminem. (Poete of modern times)
Chopin, Debussy, Vivaldi (I would like so much played saxophone but nobody wants to transpose the score :( it's sad)
James Brown, Percy Sledge, Amy Winehouse, Aretha Franklin, Otis Redding ( The voice... The voice)

MOVIES:

The green line,
Fight club, (This movie made me reconsidered all my life)
The big Budapest hotel,
Catch me If you can,
The legend of the pianist on the ocean, (mighty)
One flew over the cuckoo's nest,
The silence of the lambs ...

Well of course the Western Spaghetti. The greatest western in the world according to me. It's cult! Sergio Leone is a God just like Ennio Moricone. Ah, Ennio Moricone! The biggest !! What would Hans Zimmer be without Ennio Moricone ???
One word: Timeless !!

And of course the Ghibli. The Disney is nice but the Ghibli is so much more refined, deeper, more beautiful !!! The princess Mononoke, Porco Rosso, The castle in the sky, My name, The tomb of the fireflies etc etc but if you were to see only one look Chihiro's trip.

BOOKS:

"Saturnian Poem" Verlaine (my Bible),
"The evil flowers" Baudelaire,
"The Book of Intranquility" Fernando Pessoa (I have not read yet but I know I will love it)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It's not incredible because I did not do it (and hours for me), but in Utah, in Arches Canyon Park, I climb on the bow and I almost slipped and underneath, It is the void. So it is the leap of the angel ... without trampoline underneath. I've never been so scared of my whole life
