About Me

ABOUT ME

I am a freelance art director / graphic designer / illustrator. I am french, but i really do feel europeans, i lived in Lyon, Paris, Vienna, London & now Berlin. I felt in love with this strange city.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosted few people in my flat in Lyon, unfortunately in Berlin i don't have any proper place to host people, hope i ll get my own place soon so i can start again!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Met amazing people all over Europe & America.

Interests

Arts (Graphic Design, photos, Illustrations...)
Music (I play bits of Piano&Ukulele. I can't sing, but I sing anyway when i am drunk).
Traveling, getting lost.
Urban exploration, reading in parcs, biking with music in my ears - feeling like in a video clip, watching (almost) all kind of movies / series, swimming in lakes and rivers, eating brunch at night. Playing drunk Football Table or Ping pong in some weird bar basements with some beautiful drag-queens (actually happened more than expected).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

West Bank - Bethlehem - Worked with kids in a refugiees camp (drawing workshop)

Mayotte - snorkeling in the lagon, suddently facing the head of a whale and her baby (we were supposed to go for the tail), scariest and most amazing experience.

California - Slab City and Salvation Mountain, sand storm started, the place looked like a Mad Max scene, swam in a hot tube at sunset, stayed over for the evening, drunk locals played banjo outside with the wind blowing off.

California - Just after Yosemite, met this group of people on a dark road while doing unautorized camping. Ending out smoking and drinking rhum in a pile of 6 rafting boats next to the river, slept in an abandonned school bus.

California - Death Valley - Drunk Full Moon Dancings.

Detroit Michigan, going with an amazing couchsurfer for some urban explorations, tried to steal Jesus in an abandonned church - that didnt work out, but the feeling was amazing.

Sleeping in an old water mill in the middle of nowhere in andalucia...

... much stories to tell, but better say it in person actually! Looking forward meeting you.
