About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Figure out what to do of our creative energy.

ABOUT me
Well I am still trying to find an answer to that question! I am a tour guide and I write things. I have been working in the cultural and documentray field. I love to explore, wether new ideas wether new places.

PHILOSOPHY

keep on living your easy living . None but ourselves can free our minds

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I cannot host for now because of the size of my place- the couch is in my roomate's room, but I would love to give you indications about paris.

I just feel getting somewhere without meeting people from there is the saddest thing

Music, Movies, and Books

Music.. I would love to discover what you listen to . I was raised in Rock and blues, but I listen to a lot of hip hop and electro , afrobeat and French music from the thirties and fifties... as long as it got that twist. I basically feed myself with music.

Movies : So many ! I like Jarmush, Chinese cinema, old French ones

Books - it depends on the mood ! I was a litterature major for a while and worked in a bookshop. As a teenager I would swear by Kundera and French poets. Now I read pretty much everything I find on my way. My last big book-crush was Arundhati Roy's God of small things, and in Poetry I'm reading odysseas Elytis ( a sea-poet)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Skydiving
Moonset over Florida Beaches
New Orleans second lines
moonlight canoe in the bayou
Paris Catacombes
Organizing hitchhiking races over France and cosmic parties
Kingston nights

Teach, Learn, Share

my major asset is to make roses out of tissues

What I Can Share with Hosts

If you come to Paris am a tour guide so I got quite a good insight on the city. Otherwise I am a decent cook (the secret of French cuisine is salted butter but everything cooked in cider is wonderful as well) and I make nice crepes, I get very enthusiastic when it comes to music and dancing

Countries I’ve Visited

Cuba, Hungary, Italy, Jamaica, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom, United States

Countries I’ve Lived In
