About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Still trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow up

ABOUT ME

Heia ! I studied then worked then travelled and finally settled. I recently moved to Rotterdam with my Dutch girlfriend. I work as an audiovisual engineer and I won't be very useful at the moment in showing you around. Easy going, curious, determined, and sometimes scatterbrain ;)

PHILOSOPHY

I don't travel to travel, but to have traveled.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Music, Movies, and Books

electronic, jazz, hiphop.
Last book I read was 'Down and Out in Paris and London' by Orwell. I like many different styles (Auster, Hermans, Fante...).
In my opinion, the american cinema of the 1970s is one of the most interesting cinematographic period.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ate rotted shark in Iceland. Sauna followed by swimming in ice-cold water in Finland. Home-made vodka in StPetersburg. Transsiberian. Lonely hiking in Mongolia. Cycled more than 18000Km through Asia. Ate olive python and wallaby tail. I actually expect much more!

Teach, Learn, Share

Computing and audiovisual stuffs (movie, picture and sound processing). I used to play rugby, saxophone and pan flute. Of course, I can also help you learning french :) Oh... I improved my skills in repairing bicycles the last few months.
