About Me

47 years old. French. In 2015-2016, have travelled for 10 months around the world. (Indonésia, Australia, New Zealand, Central America, West USA)
When not travelling, I live in Paris, near Montmartre.
I'm very interested in arts, and enjoy the busy parisian art life (concerts, exhibitions, fair, etc..)
My main hobbies are playing music (percussions) and photography (main subjects being portraits and live shows).
In general, I am quiet person, curious, enjoying meeting people and sharing stories.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe this is the best way to discover a country, a town, via the locals.

- Book : Vernon Subutex (French, sorry ;))
