"Paint the movements of the heart, and not the impulsions of the glands" WF

ABOUT ME

Located in Paris for over 12 years, i grew up in the hilly middle of france where i happily return as much as i can. In a search for a balance between city's excitement ans country's inspiration, travelling is my way to explore the world, confront myself within, in a permanent quest for the BIG ROCK CANDY MOUNTAIN.

PHILOSOPHY

One more cup of coffee for the road

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Willing to meet up with anyone sharing some of my interests, i can show my Paris while in France, and bring an energetic, curious and avid presence while travelling. Yeah !

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Interests

Literature, literature, literature. And films.
I am what i am thanks to the Kerouac, HS.Thompson, Carver, H.Crews, L.Brown, J.Raymond, W.Vollmann, W.Stegner, W.Faulkner of this world.
Also to the Cimino, Hellman, K.Reichardt, J.Nichols, Mekas and co.
On the other side, abandoning civilisation for a while and finding myself in aura of nature, that's my gazoline, pure and sore.
