CURRENT MISSION

try to be a good photographer!

ABOUT ME

I am a French documentary photographer, currently living in Wales, where I did an MA in documentary photography. I am doing long term projects in the UK, but also in the United States about people, communities and ordinary life in general.
I left France 8 years ago prior to my studies.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have couchsurfed in a lot of places . I have also hosted few times, which has always been a positive experience. Unfortunately I can not host at the moment.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Always positive. I have been to Edinburgh, Bruxelles, Athens, and many other places, and Couchsurfing almost made me feel like I was in familiar places, although I was a complete outsider. It is always good to see that there are generous people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Being stuck for 25 days on a canoe in Canada when I was 15.

Also,

More recently I visited an alternative Graceland (house where Elvis Presley lived) in Mississippi and it was creepy and fascinating.

Teach, Learn, Share

Everything about photography and why it changed my life. I also know how to film, and I pretend I play piano.
