I am a very common Breton guy: I love meeting new people, sharing with friends, talking about anything and everything, news, music, travel... I’m a quite active in my life - that’s why it sometimes a bit complicated for me to accept some guest. But let’s try! :) I live in Rennes, one of the main cities of Brittany. I play traditional music, and I’m learning breton language.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I know it’s is not original at all but I love meet people from other countries. I had such good experiences in countries like Iran, Irlande or South America, that it convinced me.

I like also make some visit of my region, Bretagne, and also to share parts of my active life. When I have enough time, of course !

Interests

I like a lot of things : I music, literature, sports, craft beers... I’m a big fan of French-Belgian comic books.
I play music too. My instrument is a traditional Breton instrument, called "Bombarde", a bit like an oboe but the sound gets closer to a bagpipe. Actually it’s a really common instrument here.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I crossed England alone in one day without map, driving for the fist time on the left side of the road. I was young, and I was very proud of it ;) I crossed South America during two mounths. I went to a Copa Libertadores match ( Cerro Porteño vs Colo-Colo) in the Olla Monumental stadium in Asunción. I saw all the match in the Colo-Colo’s hinchas tribune : the Garra Blanca. It was one of the most incredible experience in my life... With my band, we played with Brendan PERRY (Dead Can Dance) and Olivier MELLANO in a great project called NO LAND. We played in major French music festivals, like the Vieilles Charrues Festival or Les Nuits de Fourvière whereas we are not professional.
