About Me

I am a musician, I am creative and I live through my intuitions (and though I also love to analyze everything haha). I am often on tour far from home and I have also a roomate so that's why I indicate "maybe accepting guests").
The political situation in my country is driving me crazy but well I am neither starving (yet) nore in jail for rebellion so...let's say that's fine so far.
This time I try to get rid of laziness with sport and slight internet addiction too haha, and to build new artistic paths.
And to finish I have sort of a so-called "intellectual" taste for art-house cinema, theater, classical music, poetry, modern painting, well all these kind of bullshit you know ^^ :-D

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like the idea to exchange and share a part of my time with country locals when visiting other countries rather than being 100% on my own.

I think also it is very important to be an actor of change in western society, which has to change to be better but also to survive.
Today our way of life can be much about buying things, staying in restrained circles, surfing on internet for hours, "social network"...It is very individualistic and we are also sometimes loosing somehow the sens of life.
We need more communication, more sharing, more humanity with true physical contacts, and also everybody wins to lend and barter things, exchange favours, when it is possible, rather than always buying and selling.

Couchsurfing is about that.

Music, Movies, and Books

Very eclectic, Classical music from 1500 to contemporary, some jazz, and all "good" music, that is no commercial

I love the so-called "auteur cinema", from the past or the present.
By example Kubrick, Kurosawa, Pasolini, Fassbinder, Lars von Trier, Lynch, Cronenberg, Kechiche, Haneke, and a lot of others

Calvino Città invisibili, Kafka Das Prozess, Conrad Heart of Darkness, Kundera l'Insoutenable légèreté de l'être,...
