I'm a quiet person . I am as solitary as I like to meet some people, to share a glass or a meal and to discuss. I am curious of anything and anyone.
I appreciate lazying anywhere but I also like sports, specially in relation with nature and endurance : hiking, riding, canoeing... Traveling "by fair means" like English say.

I don't have a salarial activity.

My philosophy would be carpe diem.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have time to meet people, to make them discover Bordeaux.

I began couchsurfing in a trip in Canada a few years ago. A great human experience. Then I didn't participate in it anymore. But now, I would like to share and give back what I received.

Interests

Number one : hiking.
Conventionally, music (specially rock and conscious singers) and cinema.
And playing guitar, running, riding my bike, cooking, reading, participating in the Open Street Map project. I also like History, sociology, politics, and culture in general.
Go for a walk in the city.
Just watchin the beauty of nature.
And drink. And smoke. And drink too ;)

I can give (very) basic lessons to play guitar or ukulele.
And talk about the history of my city, my region, my country, the world, our galaxy...
I'm supposed to imitate well Gollum.
