About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to take the good things of the life

ABOUT ME

Pleasure to practice snow or water activities.
I often ride bicycle, specially mountain bike.
In Strasbourg, bicycle is definitely the best way of moving.
I sail 2 months a year around west Europe, with a friend who lives on his boat ; we can accept 1 person more on the boat, for 1week or more(need really good feeling in a boat).
I like to spend 2 months in tropical countries in winter.
Fond of litterature, I like writing in OuLiPo way.
if you request a couch, please write a personal request with this sentence : "i looked your profile and i think..." for me to know that you don't copy/paste a message to many people.

PHILOSOPHY

Taking your time is the best way for not losing it.

There's no pleasure like meeting an old friend, except perhaps, making a new one (R. Kipling)

"CS philosophy" : If you request a couch, please write a personal request with this sentence : "i looked your profile and i think..." for me to know that you don't copy/paste a message to many people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host people, generally out of Cs, when I am in Strasbourg, but I move a lot.
I make requests sometimes.
Not really a CS addicted, as you can see, but the existence of CS is a great thing.
I understand that people worry about the problem of CS changing in a "for profit" company.
It is probably very bad for all of us.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Not so much experience.
I am not used to connect when travelling, but a friend of mine convinced me to try CS.
Also i have good friends yet to host me where I am used to go.
I am not often at home, but had the pleasure to host people, generally out of CS
I went to some meetings.
