About Me

CURRENT MISSION

trying to reach a real wisdom and peace by experience of every days (currently learning to speak English very well too) !

PHILOSOPHY

Between Marc-Aurèle and Spinoza, Woody Allen and Ambrose Bierce. I just realised right now that we have to be patient in life and confident in the fact that everything we wish comes true in real life someday.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfed in Ireland. CSmeetings in Lyon and now in Strasbourg.
I hosted Marjolaine from Quebec and Nissrine, and I spent a very good time with them.

Interests

I must confess : I love my job : I am a librarian. A librarian is a search engine with a heart !
I'm involved with Oxfam and also with others local groups of people who want to build a fairer world and share ideas, skills and whishes with people caring about environnement. Some times I give a little help to serve in a bar of a cultural organisation, a place where I used to work when I was younger, It's an occasion for me to catch up with "old" friends, and have fun in a relax atmosphere.
I like to go to Paris, Lyon, or others cities in Europe to assist at opera, theatre, and to see friends overthere.
I love opera, ballet, museums, theatre, good food, nightparties, or just hanging out with friends, going to the pub after work. Sometimes I also really enjoy staying at home to read or watch series, but I'm more up to go out !
When I'm on holidays, I enjoy visiting cities, walking a lot, taking pictures. I love to meet people and to discover cultural things.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music : Pop rock, jazz, funk, french songs.

Movies : I like movies teaching me something about politic problematics or existentiels questions or foreign way of life, a very good exemple is "perspepolis" by Marjane Satrapi.
i like good dialogues like in Denis Arcan's 'les invasions barbares" and "le déclin de l'empire américain".
french movies like "un air de famille", "cuisine et dépendances".

Books : the list of my favourite books is too long ! I like thrillers, novels, and one of my favourite french author is Yasmina Kadra.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

trekking in Thailand jungle, during the rain season ! It was a real physical challenge, we walked in rivers, batcave, deep forest. But the reward was that I could meet Karen people, share diner and in a way I couchsurfed with them !

Teach, Learn, Share

I can learn you French, history of France, of Lyon or Jura (places where I used to live), Strasbourg (where I live now), or to cook bad cakes.
I would like to learn to speak English very well.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Curiosity. I love to talk, exchange about cultural things, way of life, society, and many things !
