🇬🇧Hi everybody !
I am Antoine, musician and documentaries dorector, mainly about citizenship and governance. I play in three bands: Lo Siento, a duet of latin american music, Bad Grass Blues, another duet but singing and playing Blues and Soul music, and Labo Rhythmic, a 4 musicians street percussions and saxophones band in which I am percussionist.
I grew in an artistic family and learned soon that working and exploring the world by myself is the best way to make beautiful things happen in my life ! I can speak french, english, spanish, italian and portuguese, and I love to learn new cultures, while sharing experiences !
I have been a guitar player for 20 years, singer and percussionist.
I have a formation on the complementary topics of social care, education and communication. I am a CS addict whenever I have the oportunity to travel and host 😊

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Giving and receiving are two very important pillars for me in life and it gives everyone good vibes, wherever they go!

Interests

I love discovering the customs, the places, the typical dishes, the associated difficulties people face and the means used to fail! I am voluntary, positive, sociable and autonomous.😁👌🏾

Music, Movies, and Books

I like many styles of music, I vary my style depending on the mood: reggae, rock, blues, Latin music... But I like music from all over the world, I have a bit of the impression of coming into contact with cultures through music! I love to read but most often lately I listen to audio books while running to educate myself while doing sports... 2 in 1! And concerning films, I like comedies as much as documentaries, genre films or series!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I swam with sharks in the deliciously warm waters of southern Madagascar to reach an island... Of course I did not know that these were waters frequented by sharks... Before meeting fishermen who brought back a canoe... In less exotic, I made a journey of 800 km on foot on the most difficult parts of the way to Compostela, I am not a believer but it was a kind of personal initiatory challenge! I lived for 2 weeks with the Sekoia nation, a centuries-old tribe of Native American Indians from the Colombian, Peruvian and Ecuadorian Amazon in a community accessible only by canoe... An unforgettable and so rich experience!
