Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
As a journalist, I'm curious of the places I visit. It's not always the tourist things that are interesting. Taking time to discuss with people, to share the way to live is much more interesting...
ABOUT ME
Young guy who just want to share with people from other cultures... I like to explain how we live in France, to tell that when there is a rebellion in the suburbs, it's note the civil war, that there is place in Paris which deserve to be visited (but there is no tourist). And I want other people to do the same with their own country and their own culture... (No, that's not true, French people are very clean !)
PHILOSOPHY
As I've said, I just want to talk about things people don't speak about, because the media don't. There is a lot of things who deserved to be shared...
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I don't know if we can speak about couchsurfing, but I've been in Crete in 2006 with 5 French people I didn't know to meet other European guys. We were 25 from all over Europe sharing about medias in our own countries, having passionate discussion. And have a lot of fun of course !

Music, Movies, and Books
Music : U2, again and again. Rock music. In books, I like reading foreign authors : it's a good way to enter their culture. In movies : "Diarios de bicycleta" about Che Gevara, "Vas, vis et deviens" a french movie about the Hazaras. Between others...
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
The most amazing thing I've ever seen is unfortunately the dumpsite in Payatas, Manila, Philipines. Thousand of people are working there... It's awful.
Teach, Learn, Share
Did you know that English is full of French words ? The noun "socket" comes from the french "soquette" (little socks (which means "chaussette"...)
