About Me

Hey everybody! I'm musician and music teacher. from Saint-P, married and have a 5yo daughter, what else?
Well I'm a pretty private person, an introvert. But thanks to overcompensation, I'm easy and fun to communicate with, even working with teenagers and in the entertainment, although it would seem...
I'm one of those people who don't really like to travel, although I have been to many places: France, Luxembourg, Czech, Germany, China and of course Finland, our dear neighbors! But I was always rather visited friends than I was engaged in tourism.
However, I quite easily get along with people and communicate willingly, it's always difficult just to get started. I read a lot and love old movies, I listen blues and rock, academic music (Gary Clark Jr, St Vinsent, David Bowie, Nick Cave, Igg Pop, Adam Ant)
I'm fond of postcrossing...
Sometimes I like to be in a tent on the shore of a forest lake...
I don’t really know what is customary to talk about myself, meet me and get to know me, if you want to :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Why I'm here? Well obviously, to be honest, I don't have enough money to live in hotels))) But.. BUT!!! I really like to receive guests. It's always a pleasant experience. And I really don't like to be a tourist. I like coming to another city or country to be integrated into society. See the life in all its manifestations, not the sights!
