Born in a small town in Southwest France and currently living in Santa Fe, NM, I have traveled to many different parts of the world. I love traveling, especially long-term; months spent backpacking and staying in hostel dorms.
I am social but rather quiet. I am not a partyer, though I do welcome opportunities to hang out, have a beer or a glass of wine, play pool, listen to live music in small venues. I have modest material needs, enjoy simple things in life and am very easy going. I am respectful of property, personal space and privacy.

Even though this Couschsurfing profile was just created (January 2015) I had been a courchsurfer host several times, with my ex-wife, under a common couchsurfing profile. I can email you the link if you would like.
If you want to find out more about me, you can also easily find me on FB: there is only one Loic Lamoulere. You can friend me, look at my information and pictures, then de-friend me if you wish, no problem.

Interests

Traveling, hiking, camping, birdwatching, and running. I also enjoy reading: lately I have been reading a lot of fiction and non-fiction about the Southwest and the old West. I have fallen in love with this region of the US.
I do not watch TV but enjoy a movie on occasion on Netflix.
