Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Few years ago I lived with friends in a big apartment in Lyon, we had a lot os space and host some couchsurfers from France, Italia, USA, Brasil... Also two of my roommates where recruited on CS. Now I have a nice flat in Paris, that can host 1-2 people.
Interests
I like travels, reading (classics mostly), hiking in mountains, practicing aikido (a martial art), singing, and share good moments with the people I like.

Music, Movies, and Books
movie n° one : pulp fiction. I like some French authors (Chabrol, the Audiard son), My favorite actors are Marlon Brando, Jack Nicholson. I like actors whith a strong presence.
Music : I had an old school rock 'n roll period when I was teenager, now I listen what I discover. Recently I discovered latino music, it highlights the sensuality of life I really like... When I want to have appreciate a calm moment I listen to jazz or classic music.
The books that moved me the most till now are : Musashi (Eiji Yoshikawa), for the insight into the Japanese way ; Grapes of wrath (Steinbeck...) that I read when I was a teenager and made bud in me a political sensibility ; Belle du seigneur of Albert Cohen, the definitive love novel, in which you learn that love's obstacle is love itself, and that there is "babouinerie" everywhere, but still !
More recently I liked some philosophy books (by a buddhist monk, a dutch guy), tales of around the world...I basically like to read a lot.
