CURRENT MISSION

My mission is to discover the world, its musics, its inhabitants, its landscapes. I like people, and I like people who can introduce me to their culture.

ABOUT ME

Well, I am a nice 46 years old french guy living in a remote place of France after 9 years in Paris.

I like people.

I work partly as an editorial consultant, partly as a guide writer, partly as a photograph, partly as a writer.

I try to travel as much as I can. I did a world tour some years ago by bicycle. I collected music and shared it through a website. Lately, I walked through the emptiest places of France to interview people living there.

I am sympathetic and very sociable.

PHILOSOPHY

Carpe diem.
Do to the other what you would like they would do for you.
Don't think too much.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Until now, I just participated as a member looking for accomodation and I met great people :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I don't care about the quality of the sheets and the softness of the couch. I just care about the smiles of people and the joy to meet someone nice.

Interests

I like people. I like conviviality. I like wine. I like music. I like photo. I like writing. I like understanding why people think what they think. I like people who talk AND listen.
