About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Reconnect with the beautiful world of CS

ABOUT ME

It's always hard to describe who you are so I decided to write down what I like and dislike.

I'm addicted to music, I love my girlfriend and my daughter, I love celtic and scandinavian countries, I love snowboarding, I like fishing, I like cooking, whiskies and cider, bow windows, irish writers, stones, birch trees, maple trees, books, maps, snow, almost every kind of animal, fog and rain, evening lights, morning lights, birds, rivers, lakes, seas and oceans, wide-open landscape, calm and peaceful places, Le Doubs, the Alps, and a few more...

I don't like spiders, anise, heat, stupid fast drivers or Hummer drivers, the smell of leather, fennels, pork.
I hate Techno, Reggae, S.a.l.s.a.(sorry I had to write it this way but this is because spams I received) and R&B music.
I don't like people that throws litter everywhere. I don't like people that doesn't care about nature. I hate when people don't take their responsibilities and freeloaders.

PHILOSOPHY

Left to themselves things tend to go from bad to worse.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I was one of the co-founder of Neuchâtel CS community, but for the moment I'm not very involved in it due to my different occupations.
I made the CS Neuchâtel Wiki page: Couchsurfing WIKI

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I hosted some couchsurfers from Seattle, Paris, Metz, Mexico, Freiburg(D) and I look foward to host many others.
I couchsurfed in Brittany at Marine's, in Paris at Steeve's, in Dublin at Poip, Maria and Mikael's and in Lisboa at Tania's and Ignacio's.
I participated to CS meetings in Neuchâtel and organized some.
I met kind and amazing people.
