About Me

Hi ! Soooo what can I tell about me ? I'm a half geek (I'm a web developer), half musician french guy. I try to split my time between these two sides of my life, along with all the things I love : Friends, family, travels, drinking, dancing, longboard, eating, sky gazing, meditating, writing, cinema, concerts, culture....... There are so many things to explore, and even more to enjoy !
I guess I'm a curious guy. I like to know about people's life story, about their home's culture. If you want to share with me, I'll be happy to tell you mine too. I like a good conversation :)
Sometimes, I create bad puns (it happens). Everyone has their weaknesses. I like to take part into the housework of my hosts, I would feel ill at ease to be freely lodged and not help people back. Oh, and I can cook alright ! I'm a vegetarian by the way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I can't stay too long in a place without trying to connect with someone. I believe that we can (and must) learn from everyone, and I'm very excited about sharing with new people. Some really short encounters once changed my whole way of seeing the world... Since then I'm really eager to have some more.
I heard couchsurfing could help me do that ! Whether it's in my house, on the road, or in others couchsurfer's house, each way seems attracting and appealing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One time a swan fell on the bridge in Lyon, at night. It hit the cables of the tramway. It was stunned and couldn't fly anymore. We were afraid with a friend of mine, that he would provoke an road accident. So I took it in my arms and we transported it to the docks. And then he swam away, yahoooooo !

Teach, Learn, Share

Here's a link to a well known poem I tend to agree with :

What I Can Share with Hosts

I think I can first of all bring a good mood, and a lot of joviality ! If you're interested in sharing about culture, society, science, history or about personal life.
If you are a musician or just like music, we could play a jam together ! I'm really eager to meet musicians from other countries :) I usually travel with an instrument.
Then I like to cook for other people. I'm not the best cook but I know a few fine meals !
Web is my job and passion, so we could share knowledge, or I could help you with your website if you need a hand !
If you want to learn origamis, I know a few tricks too :)
