About Me

ABOUT ME

Phd Student, and musician (Clarinetist and Singer), I live between Lille (F), Hamburg (D) and Paris.
I love music (playing it with my Band "Bärlin", seeing it living or hearing at it home).
I like theater, modern art, cinema and dance (however I've a very low knowledge of it).
I like travelling in cities I don't know, walking around in new neigborhoods, discovering the local underground/artistic life...

PHILOSOPHY

I'm trying not to think too much, such a question is much too complicated for me

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm a member of Hospitality Club for 4 years, I hosted a dozen of CS member thanks to a good friend of mine who was once my flatemate (Philippe Seidel), and thanks to my girlfriend.
It was always a good way of discovering new dishes and new cultures...
I travelled to Serbia and Hungary thanks to CS : conclusion it appeared me as the best way of travelling ever.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Not easy to remember... perhaps nothin astonishing, but I remember now at special moments during travels :
- a meal with kosovian hunters in the woods near of Pristina
- a concert on a boat in Budapest discovering a genius belgian band actually coming from a place situated only a few kilometers from my hometown...
- a memorable encounter with a young tunesian in a bus going to Danemark at the dutch-german border. The young guy was a refugee travelling "illegaly" had to spend 9 month in a detention camp in the netherlands, and we met again in Paris after he get free again... Eurolines makes you rediscover what freedom of movement means in the europea Union...
