About Me

Hi :)
I'm social, trying to see all the time the positive side of all events. I did different jobs like Telecommunication Engineer, Journalist, Writer, 3D computer graphics Illustrator, then I refurbished old houses for 25 years and I appreciate now to volunteer, especially in cooking, teaching, translating, photography, carpentry, permaculture, organic gardening and eco-building...
I'm open to learn new things and happy to share the knowledge my experiences offered me. I love art, music and culture.
Life is what we chose to be and every day is an good opportunity to do something good and/or interesting.
I'm also a sailor on the French tall-ship 'L'Hermione'.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I registered in Couchsurfing to meet local people over the world to share some nice time together, exchanging on our cultures, habits and some recipes... I also welcome everyone in my house, no segregation!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Living every day the life I want is the greatest experience that makes me happy and thankful. :)

Teach, Learn, Share

Sharing is caring, I've experienced many thinks I like to talk about.

What I Can Share with Hosts

When I volunteer, I might offer you a help on a daily basis like house cleaning, cooking, computer problems, mechanical problems, gardening, compost teaching, animals caring. I'm also able to lost your children (or the neighbour ones) in the woods if they're too noisy. As a host, well, come on & enjoy a cool short time at my home in the nature....
