About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Celebrate and share the good fortune of being alive (F) Partager ma joie de vivre. I love organizing parties or pick-nicks, making people meet and share.

ABOUT ME

I travelled a lot when I was younger and I kept this spirit ever since. I lead a simple life (aboard my sailboat) and "small is beautiful" has been my motto for over 30 years. (F)J'ai beaucoup voyagé juste après mes études (tour du monde en 6 ans), et l'esprit "globe trotter" m'est resté. Je pratique la frugalité et "Moins, c'est mieux." a été mon mot d'ordre depuis plus de 30 ans.

PHILOSOPHY

Go for less in all cases except for love and sharing. I practice frugality and I've never been so happy.
(F)Pratiquer la frugalité en tout, sauf l'amour et le partage.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We are a fairly active group in Rochefort, and most travellers who come our way get to know all of us. And we share our networks, so that makes a lot of coming and going.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've always travelled that way, even before CS existed.
(F) J'ai toujours voyagé ainsi.

Interests

Sailing, nature in general, travelling and discovering different people and cultures, books, drama, live music.
(F) La mer et la nature en général, les voyages, les gens et les cultures différentes de la mienne, la lecture, le théâtre amateur

Music, Movies, and Books

I also enjoy silence (F) j'aime aussi le silence

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Around the world in 6 years - mostly hitch-hiking.
(F)J'ai mis six ans à faire le tour du monde, et j'en suis arrivé à la conclusion que les hommes sont beaucoup plus semblables que différents. C'est pourquoi il fait bon partager la joie d'être vivant - ce que nous avons tous en commun.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A bit of the local life.
