About Me

About me:

I am a very simple person, calm and curious. I love to travel and to meet new people, to speak during long and to re-invent the world.

PHILOSOPHY

Carpe diem... Speak to everybody as everybody as interesting experience to share... be very sincere...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have met great people through 'couch surfing' and am really enthusiastic for new experiences. I can't host, but love meeting people. I live in between Lyon (France) and London (UK) and I would be happy to show around and to share experiences with a cup of english tea or local wine!

Interests

I love walking for hours until getting lost and discovering unimaginable places..
I love dancing and know all the places to dance Brazilian forro... I love capoeira too (I practice when not too lazy...)!
I love world music, jazz rhythms and to discover crazy singers... I like to investigate on new place to go out with a nice program...
I like animals... I like to cook... I also sew my closes, make some painting and other embroideries...
I like calm moment too: to read, to look at people passing while drinking coffee at a terrace (French touch ;-))! And many more!

Music, Movies, and Books

'Capitals de are' de Jorge Amado, 'The last hundreds days' Patrick Mc Guiness, books on Africa by Ryszard Kapuscinski... Amelie Nothomb and many others. Any real life, social and political testimonies, even more when they are well written....
I like to watch social documentaries and hope to create some, one day.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The greatest thing I have done was when I was 18 years old: I took a flight alone to Burkina-Faso as soon as I left high-school, with a grant that I don't know how I got, and without any idea of what I will find there... Exceptional experience that will never quit me.

Anyway, I am mainly adept of ordinary pleasures of live, happy moments every days, with nothing exceptional to look for or to prove...
