I am a French photographer (two nationalities : French and Dutch) working on my own creative projects, mostly documentaries. My main work, about the Svalbard archipelago (Northern most island), has been published in sept 2017 by the German publisher Kehrer.

I am a creative person. I like to spend time weaving (www.kuukcollection.com), try to sew and sometimes but more rarely cook.
I love nature. I love forests. I love being outside (I love biking, climbing, hiking, and I would like to try kayaking more) but I can be a real homebody too.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love the idea of meeting people and sharing stories.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am listening to all kind of music, I could name a few but I feel bad for all the ones I am forgetting...
Pink Floyd
Dire Straits
Neil Young
Tom Waits
Gil Scott Heron
Dollar Brand
Gregory Isaacs
and many many more...

My all time favorite movies are Zabriskie Point (Michelangelo Antonioni), Thelma and Louise ((Ridley Scott) and Down by Law (Jim Jarmush). But I love scandinavian or american indie movies.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A few years ago I have travelled through the Amazon rainforest from the Ocean to the Andes for a couple of months, living with local families on the way. That is something that truly changed me.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to share things that I appreciate, stuff I know. I love to learn new things. Experience new ways of living.
