About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Heading towards uhh.. everywhere ! (cannot muzzle all those whispering tigers)

ABOUT ME

Not much to say actually... I wouldn't describe myself as an outsider inside the couchsurfers' community, since I love travelling, meeting different people and discovering wide range of ideas and points of view !

PHILOSOPHY

Don't really have a steady one ! "Keep asking questions" maybe (to myself and others)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I used to host people from the couchsurfing community with my roomate. I would like to host people myself as soon as I have an appartment of my own, and until then, I would like to meet new people around the world.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My roomate used to host coachsurfers, and we met really nice people this way. I really would like to go on with this kind of experience.

Interests

I'm fond of photography (my favorite's avedon, but I also love cartier-bresson, raymond depardon, lee miller, hilla and bernd becher, guillaume lemarchal, alex mac lean...). I haven't had the chance to get a decent camera yet, but I like to draw and paint (frazetta, loisel, ledroit used to inspire me a lot).
I also love cinema, going out for a movie is one of my favorite occupations, and making films is my hobby. I'm also fond of music, always craving for new titles !

Music, Movies, and Books

I like every kind of movie, from old ones and cinema d'art et d'essai to american superproductions... Yet I have to admit I have a crush on burton's work and on the cohen brothers.
I like old rock and also folk and gipsy music, but I'm always curious about discovering new styles of music.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

"Amazing" is everywhere

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you Chinese characters but appart from that I don't have any funny thing in particular to teach I guess ! Oh I went boyscouting as well, so eventually I could teach you how to light a fire and build a wooden house... Could be usefull, you never know :D !
