CURRENT MISSION

I want to travel every where, draw everything I see, and play music with people from all around the world...

ABOUT ME

I'm a 29 year old man. Always looking for a new beautiful and foreign place to go.
I draw. It's my job. I make paintings, drawings, comics. And I love it!
I draw everywhere I go, trying to catch something real from the world, to make it eternal on my sketches book. I love to travel because I need to hear new stories, meet new people, see new landscapes and horizons.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

According to my very humble experience, I think that traveling brings someone to grow by meeting people, by discovering different ways of living, to get our minds much more opened and wide. Couchsurfing is an amazing way to meet people...

Interests

If I had to resume my life, with three words:
Music, Drawing, and Travels. I assume they're all pretty much connected.
I love to play the music and listen to some as well. I play the guitar, the bass guitar and the piano. Hopefully sometimes I travel with my guitar!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In the summer 2007, I went for the first time in India.
With friends of mine, I lived for 1 month and half in a small town (Hangal Taluk, Karnataka), helping to build a de-addiction center for alcoholic people. Today I can say that was one of the most fantastic experience of my life. I was living in an old children classroom, and spent everyday with the habitants of Hangal.
They mostly didn't speak english at all, and I didn't speak Hindi neither.
I experienced in that village that there are many other ways to communicate than words. I've met some wonderfull people, some are today my friends. I felt like I found there a part of myself that was waiting for me the whole time, and maybe I left a part of myself there when I finally got back home…
There's nothing extraodinary in what I did, but it has definitly changed my life.
