CURRENT MISSION

make the most of here and now (but it's sometimes hard...)

ABOUT ME

It's a stupid thing to write about myself... of course, this is me and not me... The best to know me is to meet !
I love meeting people (old and new-known coming from nowhere), any age, any kind and from any place. I try to share good times with Sarah and our three fantastic kids and more personal activities (work, of course :/) like walking, meeting friends, going to bars, listening to music (!!!), or having sport... euh, no, I try for more than ten years to have regular sport, but I can't really achieve.

PHILOSOPHY

Life's short, so let's make it big !
Life's what you make it.
Don't worry about things you can't change.
Men kill to eat. But we must drink, too.
It's so hard it's easy.
This little world is so huge !

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like to host or meet for a drink or a walk, and like being hosted too, in France or when tripping (never enough !).

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Couchsurfer/Hospitality club since 2008. My first experience was a picnic in Marseille with an Iranian surfer : unforgettable ! We hosted people and had drinks with some others, from Latvia, Poland, Australia, USA, England, Finland, Germany, Canada, Italy... and France too.
We have been hosted by really nice people in Helsinki, Slovaquia, Italy, Germany, Netherlands and Poland; some became very very good friends and we try to meet the more often we can. We met some great people in Budapest. I am pleased to be sometimes hosted by surfers in France when moving for work (I often go to Paris these times) or any other reason.
I'm also a member of Hospitalityclub and BeWelcome. Hosting and being hosted should be the lonely way to travel. It IS travelling, where-ever you go !

Interests

Music (of course, almost any kind but Opera, that makes me nervous and bored :/ ... and also but french local songs about happiness or crying lovers), walking in the woods or in unknown cities, dancing, learning things, languages, meeting people, reading, talking and drinking about and for nothing, bars, cinema, DIY, cycling, driving, diving, dining, dring-dring...

As a dad : spinach launching on our windows.
As a dad : spinach cleaning on our windows.

Teach, Learn, Share

Living is learning from others ! Ready to share anything / OpenSource people. I can talk about my works, my studies, my questions, my answers that change anytime I ask again the questions. Also ok to share a walk, a music, a beer or a glass of wine !

What I Can Share with Hosts

Damned ! I don't know. It depends on what they expect... But I can give, and I love to hear from others. I can cook, join them for a walk to discover the city where I live.
