About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Reincarnate into a flying cat
But meanwhile, travel and discover new people, cultures, music, sports, (why not a new job?), tastes, arts, philosophies and ways of thinking, places, life styles, landscapes, games, weathers, heavens and leisures ... and probably more

ABOUT ME

Let’s say I meet myself. Very objectively, the guy standing in front of me seems friendly. Let’s have a chat with him. Quickly, I can realise that, aside from his amusing expressions, this guy is frankly kind to me. He is asking me a lot of question and seems quite curious. I feel I could spend some good time with him (still entirely objectively speaking). I ask him if he knows about CS, he answers me he can’t stand this bloody Counter Strike video game. “No, mate” I say, “I'm talking about Couch Surfing, you fool”. Amazed and thrilled thanks to my description of CS, our guy runs off to sign in. “Nice lad” I think.

PHILOSOPHY

Carpe Diem, mate
All ends come to a good thing, dude
Better late than never, pal
You never know until you try, my friend

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I frankly find Couchsurfing is the most smart and wicked sociable network created online, don't you agree?

Interests

I am looking for some enriching experiences! (As most of us I guess.)
My main hobbies are music - I have been playing the bass guitar since I'm 15, I began quite recently the keyboard, I also play guitar,
(I've been travelling with an acoustic guitar for about 15 months ) ;
I have a soundcloud, not pro at all, but there you go: https://soundcloud.com/metayos

and photography - here are some of my pictures: http://www.nprtnsn.wordpress.com/) ;

and videography as well - here are some little videos, mainly done whil travelling in Asia:

and sport (savate (= french boxing), tennis, volleyball, running, funboard, skating, snowboarding, badminton, table tennis, gymnastics, football, cricket (I'm joking, sorry my British lads), swimming, taekwendo) ;

good nights (friends, partying, dancing, etc) ;
pétanque and every ballistic skill activity (molki, darts...) ;
I also of course enjoy to discover new people, cultures, places, senses of humour, haircuts, puddings, doodling creations ...
In a few words, I am looking for FUUUUN owowoooo yeeeaahh

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

taking the red pill.
But it wasn't what I expected. Morpheus, you cheeky bastard!

Teach, Learn, Share

Playing music, sport, card games, board games, paper games, dancing, talking about dreams and cosmos, debating about how should scrambled eggs be cooked: with or without milk?, and talking about all sorts of stuff actually.
I can teach the French ABC to survive in a French speaking territory (say "Hi there mate" in French slang, order a bear with a first-class stylish attitude, etc...)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can sing French folk music while I'm watching you cooking.
I'm kidding but I'm still happy to sing French songs and can help with daily house things of course (cooking, cleaning etc)
