CURRENT MISSION

After a 1st year break, 10 years ago, I startef a New one, (just finished 4 monthes in central Asia)

Quite a busy life, but I can still try to welcome people who want to stop or discover Lyon, or chat about films or music.

ABOUT ME

Passionned traveller... Fond of new high voltage experiences, open to volunteering, exploring sideways, people meeting, parties...

PHILOSOPHY

Everything must be tried. (is it a philosophy ? Why not ?)

Oh yes, and :
"our time is right now, now we can do anything we really want to.
(...)
Now's the time for us to have faith in what we can do."
(well, I know, this is Jonathan Richman but isn't it pure ?)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Meeting local people while travelling + finding travel buddies for trekking or activities...
I can also welcome some people at home, in Lyon when I'm there , although it has not happened yet.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Several very cool encounters on the road thanks to CS !
Never have been disappointed yet !

visited 40-50+ states

Interests

Travels, photography & rock music for sure!
But also music reviewer, theater (as a very amateur director !), movies, modern art museums, photography books, comics from all over the world.

Otherwise, trekking mountains turned out to be my new travelling passion !
A very little bit of other sports too (diving, climbing, trail)
