About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Laisser les bons temps rouler, as people say in Louisiana!

ABOUT ME

I'm a simple person... just trying to enjoy life!

PHILOSOPHY

Humanism above all!
I read this sentence somewhere, and I think it's true: "The world is like a book, and those who do not travel see only a page".

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like to discover the people of the countries I'm visiting... couchsurfing and hosting is a good way to do that!Group meetings are a good way to make new friends at home.I also like the concept of cooksurfing as I experienced it in Toulouse: learning from someone else how to cook a meal from another region, then have dinner together!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Thanks to my flatmates, we had couchsurfers at home.I also surfed when I travelled in New Zealand and England.It was really interesting each time, learning about people and their culture from everywhere in the world!Since that I took part in several events in Toulouse and that was great to enjoy this side of the couchsurfing philosophy!

Interests

People, their culture (particularly their vision of life, music, food...) ; be opened to the world and understand how it works...
Travelling, tramping*, listening to/playing music, reading, dancing, cooking, sharing a good meal and a good wine (I'm French!).

*kiwi word for hiking, of course!

Music, Movies, and Books

Everything started with Django :)Apart from that, pretty much all kind of music... as long as I don't find it boring! I love going to concerts and festivals.I like eclecticism and sharing movies, music or books with people.I also like playing music with my friends: our band is "Los de la Playa", I'm the flutist!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Going to New Zealand!
