About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Between Engineering and Music => currently enemployed!
ABOUT ME
I'm 28, living in Villeurbanne with the love of my life who's about to become a nurse. I've studied engineering in construction and environment, then used to survive with my music skills, then worked as engineer in acustics, then quited, now having the project of working in Wood Construction : taking time for my training, I'm still living my passion of music, without the pressure to live of it, in the beautiful city of Lyon, France.
PHILOSOPHY
Curiosity leads to knowledge.
Empathy leads to understanding.
Culture leads to open-mindedness.
"L'union fait la force" means you'll always need other people to achieve something, and they might need you in return.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Willing to get rich of others experiences, I'm ready to welcome some couchsurfers (one at a time, please!) when possible.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
We've received some friends in our appartment for some days, but I've never been a couchsurfer myself.
Interests
- Music (Jazz, Soul, Hip hop, Funk, Rock, Chanson française, classical music... I'm "bon public" as we say in France, but throughout any style, I like GOOD musicians)
- Movies (I like when some friend tell me : "You don't know this movie? What a chance! You'll enjoy...")
- Litterature (I wasn't a young good reader, but learned to appreciate it with maturity...)
- Science (I'm a trained engineer, and my infinate curiosity always made me think about how the World seems to work, and how people live in it)
- Gastronomy (I like eating and cooking for friends ; I like good products, and have some friends productors)
- Politics (doubting about everything, but still having some strong ideas and opinions about them)
- Others (once I've realized I was thinking too much about myself, I've been taking the chance to help directly the ones I love, and sometimes people I do not know with some voluntary work)
