Hi, I'm a French Blues guitar player who has a wanderlust personality and a smile attitude.

I guess people who like me would say I'm easy to befriend, easy going, open minded, funny and always ready to do spontaneous things or out-of-the-blue adventures. That being said, I'm pretty sure people who don't like would say i'm an asshole but heh, "haters gonna hate" right ?

I am a music lover to the core. Blues is my first love but I have a lot of mistresses named Rock, psychedelic, soul, funk, jazz, disco, oriental music, african music, latin, folk, classical, bossa nova and the beat goes on...
I write, compose, play the guitar, bass, drums, a little bit of piano and would love to learn the banjo, sitar and so many more instruments !

I graduated from the University of Caen, normandy, in English and American Litterature and Civilization and a minor in French teaching. I started a master on the Golden Age of Piracy (because it's awesome and also because reality and actual facts are so much more exciting than fiction !) but had to drop out because the band took more and more of my time. I don't regret my choice but sometimes I do really miss going to college and learn new things every hour...
I love to talk and listen to people's stories, share and exchange, that's what travelling is about ! Spending nights reshaping the world, human condition, society, the universe and so on...

If you welcome me into your home, you will get the respect due and expected from a guest. It is a huge thing to open one's home to strangers and it is my role to do everything in my power to make you comfortable with me staying on your couch ! I can cook (even learnt to make french bread hehe!), help with tidying (I'm pretty tidy myself and like to leave the place clean when I leave), entertain with poor french humour or some guitar playing (looooooove to jam) !

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am travelling to Andalucia, Spain, hitchhiking my way down from my home Normandy, to visit and explore that beautiful part of the worl, learn some Flamenco dance moves and add some latino spices to my guitar skillset !

Don't want to stay in a hotel, I'd rather meet real people , locals with stories and tips to share. The best experience one can have is one that isn't expected, that is what I like it with backpacking, volunteering and couch surfing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Leave everything to go backpacking and hitchhiking throughout B.C. into the unknown ?

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share happiness (cheesy but always good), knowledge acquired in my travels, maybe a tip or two about some things, my love of music and arts etc...

I want to learn everything, especially in DIY area but everything is fine really.

What I can teach depends on the one who wants to learn. (Yep, the Dalai Lama is my tea drinking buddy)

What I Can Share with Hosts

French history and actuality, top notch stories about my home Normandy and William the Conqueror (and my ancestors the vikings!), music knowledge, English civilization related topics, all there is to know about the Golden Age of Piracy (1705-1715) and an open mind and a broad smile :)
