About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Being creative, in movement, never get bored.
Listen and look, being contemplative try to find the beauty.

ABOUT ME

I'm enthusiastic personn, i can be really silent and good listener if i feel it like that or being good to entertain people around me, telling stories and sharing life experience, culture or game. I'm curious about many things and my subject of attention change often, in connexion with the context, attraction of the moment or meeting. My main interest are connected to art or handcraft. But i'm really interested by truth, tenderness and generosity too, in any way.

PHILOSOPHY

Rien n'est grave tout est important.
That i can translate as : Nothing matters everything is important
A gentle french women ( Marie-Pierre Rinck ) try to teach me this, i'm still learning.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here , because i love meeting new people, from different country background and work area. And i like the concept a lot , we should think like that for many things, sharing spaces, objects, knowledge and times.

One of my next mission is to travel more, to open my heart and know my self better so i wish couchsurfing will help me during my globetrotting trip.

I host people often in my home in Paris when i'm here. And i live my space to people who need it, when i'm not. Through couchsurfing or not. Until now it's been interesting human experience.

Interests

At the moment, everything connected to art and public spaces.
I like to play and invent games, that bring me and other people to see or react in a different ways, as usual. I'm living in Paris now and i realize how much, here, the time is precious and people forget to give it for free.
I'ld like to create action, performance, objects or games that help me/us to feel more open and sincere.
I work with visual art ( photography, drawing ) and i teach it to kids so i'm also curious about how to share/learn/teach from art.
I love listen to good music and to dance also.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Not so long ago, i've made a night installation in my street in Paris, with a friend, we attach everything together with a white thin string, tree, metallic structure, wall, together to make an invisible web. It was spontanious and improvise. It was a direct and easy way to use this space as a playground again.
I draw a jungle with a chalk on wall in Italy.
I played bodymusic with friends in the street of Paris...

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to listen to people knowledge when they are truly generous.
And i will be happy to share with you the little i know in drawing, cooking, dancing, building stuff.
