About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Mission ?! ? Damned ..come on, I'm not a cosmonaut ! Do we really need one ? improvisation's not enough ??

ABOUT ME

I'm french but I live in Melbourne, Australia since January08.
I like when people enter my daydreaming personal mental bubble, as much as I love entering theirs. Dreamer / sensitive. When I meet strangers I'm rather shy but can be much more talkative and outgoing after a little time, as long as I feel confident them .I'm totally different with people I know. I'm an introvert but my friends say that I can be the opposite as a kinda crazyfucked up absurd person.
Funny face maker, people say (I disagree, that's just me !)

PHILOSOPHY

Not a philosophy itself ...just daydreaming (personal soundtrack included). Instant grasping, no concrete material needed. You can get the most magical moment just by staring leaves falling in a park. All is full of love, all is about feelings, fellows. Absurdities, as well. I'm not afraid to live unreasonable things as long they bring high doses of emotions & feelings, even if sometimes it hurts, at least you feel alive.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I try to host as many couchsurfers as I possibly can. Really doing it actively, I mean.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

People from Canada, Japan, Brazil, Slovakia, the US, Germany, Poland, Australia, Latvia, Austria, ...
Some experience were really cool, some were very intense, some were less intense but really ok, and i've met some really beautiful people. Of course, there are some people you feel more confortable with, some with you share more common interests or philosophy than others, but I don't regret any of these lovely experiences.
Actually .. I want more !!

Interests

I'm a big big Music Junky#! (main thing far above all others), my dear drunkyard friends, walking in town with music on my ears (headphones being a complete part of my body ;o) )photography, traveling without determined destination, red wine, reading, playing with children, stargazing, women, bars & pubs, talking to strangers, weed, mixtaping & getting new food for my hungry hears, black beer, walking in the rain, watching people moving in public places, inspiring discussions where you feel free to REALLY talk about stuff that matter for you, going to concerts, railways & subway station, nutella .
Maybe I'll release my first experirental electronic music LP ...one day, if not I don't care, the pleasure I just spend doing it is just definitively worth it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Love o-o, the cycle of days & seasons, desertic landscapes & the big buzz of crazy metropolitan cities, driving at night in the australian bush (with no kangaroo crash), walking allnightlong on NYC for 5 nights & days with no sleep.
A year ago, I also opened a 1994 plastic wraped sausage (will never forget). But no worries, I have others even olders, I'll show you.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a crazy plastic nose and I think I can open beer botles with any kind of possible objects.
I have also a big crush on serial killers like Ted bundy or Charles Manson to share with you all(come on sweet things, don't be afraid to visit me ... ;o) )
Artists especially MUSICIANS are highly welcome at my place, I love trying to play or to record unpredictable stuffs with them. I can share and learn the basics of computer recording and technics.
