CURRENT MISSION

We are the world, we are the children.

ABOUT ME

Hey,
My name is Martin,
I live in Dijon (the famous mustard).

I'm curious, unhurried and I'm still joking about almost everything. I like meeting new people and sharing interesting thoughts with them.

PHILOSOPHY

What's worth is the people we meet. Everything else is only an indirect way to get in touch with others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Like everyone, I am a part of this great Adventure!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Interests

I enjoy hiking, reading books, playing (piano and guitar as a beginner) listening to music and especially learning Japanese kanjis !

I recently get interest in taking photos.

I particularly love walking slowly in cities (despite the fact that my walk is considered by others as too fast for their "tired and small legs" ! ), discovering places and admiring beautiful landscapes.

Music, Movies, and Books

I've no special taste. It depends on the mood I'm in.
However Murakami Haruki and Gao Xingjian are the authors I feel the closest with.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

By bluffing, I have had a 10 minutes-talk with the former French President Jacques Chirac when he was visiting a museum alone. We talked about the current exhibition, his health and about my future. It was a great pleasure and fun ! (I deliberately avoided addressing with his trial for corruption !).

Teach, Learn, Share

Obviously I could teach you French and about the French culture.
I also have a lot of stories I'll be glad to tell ;)
