ABOUT ME
I am a mixed race person. My father comes from Benin in Africa and my mother is French. With their different cultures, they brought me up to be open-minded. I've got two brothers and one sister which explains why I am used to living with other people and easy to get on with.
I spend a lot of time playing music. I play saxophone and guitar and I sing and I love playing with other people. I played with several bands in my musical life. Recording music and playing gigs in different countries as France, New Caledonia, Guatemala, Togo...
I love traveling. I have been traveling for the last 10 years, discovering how people live in other countries.
I based now in Togo, West Africa, where I'm settling a organic agroforestry farm. I live in the middle of the bush near Kpalime. That dream of living in a farm is coming to me as a gift and I love it.
PHILOSOPHY
I think everyone has something to do on Earth. So each of us have to try to realize his own destiny. For that, everyone has something to learn from everyone. We must be open-minded to learn from everyone. I think I am a part of the cosmos so I look at any human being as my brother.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Couchsurfing is the best thing someone created. I participate by hosting, by surfing and by donating. Because I want to help to create this better world we are doing.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I hosted people in my houses in different countries where I lived along my short life. And I surfed in many places around the world. Thank to that, I met so interesting people who taught me so many interesting things.
Interests
I'm interested by everything. Everything which is around the culture attracts me. I love going to concerts, theatre plays and different shows. I love dicovering new things. I love learning. Also, I like speaking about spirituality and exchanging on this subject.

Music, Movies, and Books
I like a lot of different music styles, as Reggae, French variety, Rock, Rap, World Music... I love songs which talk about travels.
Moreover, I like music and books which make you think about life and the world. "The Alchemist" by Paulo Coelho is my favourite book because it invites us to live our dreams and each day as much as we can.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach many different things as French language, French cuisine, to play some music instruments (saxophone, guitar). I enjoy teaching, later I would like to become a teacher. I can teach a lot about farming too.
I also like learning others music instruments and how people live their dailyground (language, cuisine, culture...).
I want as well to improve my music creation, my knowledge about organic farming.
