About Me

I think I am a simple person. Simple cause I try to adapt myself in any situation. I try not to judge.I just want to learn from the people i meet. I'm definitly a big dreamer (but I'm not the only one as said John Lennon!). I'm definitly what some people use to call a "citizen of the world". I lived for a year in Asia (Malaysia and India) and when I was eighteen, I spent another year around South America. I can't wait to travel again ! And hosting people seems like a little travel to me :)

I'm a full time reader and I write sometimes too. I play ukulele, I sing, and I try to dance.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I use couchsurfing because I think this world needs more explorers and less tourists.

Interests

Of course travelling. Reading, cinema, museums, walking down unknows streets, talking to anyone on a bus trajets... In fact, I love every type of beauty in the world. No matter where it comes from. It can be in a good novel, on a big plate of cheese, a painting, a smile, anything.

Music, Movies, and Books

What a big question... I'll just pick up the first 10 things that comes from my mind !

MOVIES : La vita è bella (Roberto Benigni), American Beauty (Sam Mendes), Amores Perros (Inarritu), A separation (Ashgar Farhadi), Dances with Wolves, Match Point, Kill Bill, In the mood for love, The wave, Tetro, a lot of kitsh-colorful Bollywood movie and some stupid south-american love movies...

MUSIC : Right now for example I'm listening "Pater panchali" (Song of the little road). Listen to it ! You'll fall in love ! Ravi Shankar, Serge Gainsbourg, Marvin Gaye, Pink Floyd, Supertramp, Jimi Hendrix, Devendra Banhart, Cat Stevens, CocoRosie, Rodrigo & Gabriela

BOOKS : Wow, I'll try to write no more than ten titles... I read again and again The prophet of Khalil Gibran... Anna Karénine (Tolstoï), Les liaisons dangereuses (Laclos), Au bonheur des dames (Zola), The picture of Dorian Gray (Oscar Wilde), Les identités meurtrières (Amin Maalouf), Lolita (Vladimir Nabokow), all the Pablo Neruda's poetry, especially "Cien sonetas de amor", all the Emile Zola's books, The animal farm (George Orwell), Cien anos de soledad and Cronica de una muerte anunciada (G.G. Marquez), all the Omar Khayaam's poetry, Far from Chandigarh (Tarun Tejpal), Q&A (Vikas Swarup), Confusion of feelings (Stephan Sweig),... Okay I definitly not wrote ten titles...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

This time in Czech Republic when I was totally lost in the city without talking any word of Czech or Russian in a totally non-english-spoken city. I finally found my friend's home after 4 hours, 3 cars, and no map.

I also remember this fabulous night in Uruguay lost in a farm with guys met on couchsurfing. Talking, drinking wine, playing guitar and laughing.

The afternoon I spent in a rocking chair with old cuban men, smoking brown tobacco without filter cigarettes, talking about french and cuban politic. After those cigarettes I had the Barry White's voice for a week.

I almost died in a Bolivian road because the bus driver had to take a non-unusual road because the usual road was closed because the whole country was blocked.

I tried to cross a big New Delhi's avenue and I finished blocked in the middle of the avenue between cars and rickshaws. It took 5 minutes to go to the other side. F****k french manners to cross streets like dummies!

I've eaten jellyfish in Malaysia, snake in Vietnam, Guinea pig in Ecuador, insects in Thailand. I've eaten a non-identified meat in Vietnam, I'm pretty sure it was dog. I also saw bull penis and sheep testicules on the menu of a mongolian restaurant in Beijing, end of the story ahah.

Teach, Learn, Share

Wow. I can teach you french of course... I can show you how to do cupcakes that will just blow your mind away, and how to do the national breton meal : crêpes. With some rhum, like my grandma did.

I can show you how to drink an argentinian maté and how to say "Cheers!" in breton (It's a part of the half dozen of words I can say in breton, ahah).

What I Can Share with Hosts

FOOD! I'd like to try your national meals!
