Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To keep looking for (finding will be too ambitious !) an answer to the Absurd we live in every day... but not too much...
ABOUT ME
I like the wind, the rain, the skies grey and cloudy which give the impression that they have something to tell, the music (of any kind but it has to take my guts out !), the sun early at the morning and late in the evening, also walking along with friends around a northern country before having a beer in a deep glass, watching weird films (even gloomy). I like sometimes my work and often my students, I like writing (I don't do it a lot), singing, smoking a cigarette in my garden, having a drink with friends, getting up beside Julie and thinking about all we're going to make together, eating every kind of food, meeting new people, discovering new countries and new landscapes...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I just want to take part with Julie by offering a couch and a meal to every wanderer who has the idea to come among us...
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
(May, the 19th) It was the first time we welcome a surfer at home. Julie has suscribed a long time ago but we're not really near the town centre so we don't have many visitors (and it's a shame !) In this very day, Antoine from Quebec, had his first evening at home and it was really cool. We have invited some friends and everything ended by an happy barbecue (unless the fact that we're very bad at barbecues and the meat was cooked in a pan). But we did eat and not so bad. Didn't we, Antoine ?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Simply the silence never heard again of a night at the border of a natural park in the south-west of Ireland. It was high, it was tough but it was magic...
Teach, Learn, Share
You can have latin or ancient greek, even french lessons.
I love to learn and to share about ancient music and music of every kind. In fact, I think I simply like sharing thoughts...
