Father of 6 years old girl, I'm looking for a job now. I worked several years in academic libraries. Recently, I settled in north of France and wish to visit countries around with or without my daughter.

I've no relations in Calais and it would be nice to meet travellers.

My flat is really small and full of toys and stuff, I just can host one person for one night or two.

It's placed just in front of a train station which can be practical.
Consider also that buses are free in Calais.

I look after my daughter two weekends a month, what means that I cannot accept people every weekends.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My flat is really small but we can host people for one night or two.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

A friend of mine used to work for the Couchsurfing website and some of our friends are also couchsurfers. We went in Budapest with my ex-girfriend and mother of my child in 2012 and were hosted there by a couchsurfer called Omer and it was a really nice experience.

Interests

I am found of Dub Music (specially High Tone), concerts and festival. Art in all forms {architecture, litterature, poetry, movies...}, even the most alternative ones {street art, mix video, artistic activism} took a big part in my life. I specially like belgian and french art nouveau, Jugendstil and symbolist paintings.

I used to realize video documentaries and mix video during parties. I had a workshop for 5 years in a big artistic factory in Lyon {Friche RVI}. But it's all over now for years.

I'm also a cyclist.and quite good cooker.
