About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To be happy, mate, to be happy!!! Thats all it is about, eventually...:)

ABOUT ME

I started travelling at 16, and never could get rid of this virus since then. I began with Europe, for short trips, and took profit of my studies to go and live abroad. In total I lived almost 4 year abroad, learned 6 languages and forgot 4 of them. In 2010 I took some time off and went to southern America and Oz. Awesome! I can only recommend to anyone to take some (long) time for yourself. It brings you so much....

I am in Dublin for wee bit now. Not long enought to stay I'm here for long, too long to say I'm freshly arrived. Its worth staying a bit longer :). I like it here. Ok, it may rain quite a lot, ok, it may be quite windy, but thats the way it is, and complaining won't make things better! I presonnaly do not wait for the perfect weather if you wanna do things, just go for it, when I feel like - the keywords: feelings, experiences! To those who may doubt about it, living in Dublin and Ireland is, eventually (after the different places I have been to), a good spot! There's all I need here.

I'm always running after free time, but I usually try to do sailing, cooking, travelling, hiking, and basically, spending time with people - my friends or my upcoming ones.

I'd like to have more time to read, to feed my always hungry curiosity, to be lazy, to sleep and take naps, to talk and share visions of life, to spend time understanding people, to laugh, to cook and learn new cooking horizons, to explore more Ireland and the rest of the world, to get back travelling for a good while, to write and act (theater), to go back more frequently to my beloved brittany, to go to gigs.

I'm not a complicated person and I like to share and laugh. And Enjoy life!

But ok, this is the theory... Best way to make your mind is to meet :)

PHILOSOPHY

What I learned in during my big break 3 years ago is to listen to myself, how I feel, my moods my feelings. And taking my time! Being lazy while I fill my curiosity.
Enjoying the small and/or intense moments of life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host quite frequently here in Dublin. I also participate to local CS forums/ discussions and organize activities from time to time.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I got introduced to couchsurfing by a friend who introduced me a Melbourne CS ambassador who introduced me to a fellow that I hosted in paris... And came to Dublin, where I got to know most of my fellas here through CS.

I actually didn't use CS much for its hosting-couching facilities. I use however quite extensively the "social" activities since I'm in Dublin. And, believe me, I have met a lot of amazing people! The bravest ones being those who met me and left happy about it. Couchsurfing is not about a free bed, ITS ABOUT THE PEOPLE AND THE EXPERIENCE YOU SHARE WITH THEM!!!

Interests

One of them is defintely travelling, I do like sports as well. But ok, I can not do travel everyday (neither sports..).. I try anyway to bring fresh air everyday and feed my appetite for curiosity and happiness. New cultural exeriences, new people, new questions... And fun, happiness! That's what we're all after..

Music, Movies, and Books

I like alternative music and used to play several instruments (guitar, harmonica, african drums, didgeridoo..). And listened a lot. Now, I will not provide more insights about the substyles and I don't believe the best is to put a sticker to define the style of a band. because I most of the bands are multi stylish and multi influenced and because I just make my mind on a band by listen their message and how i feel about it.

I like comics(which are not just superhero books), and spend more and more time for books and movies..

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

travelled around south america and aussie for 4 months.
Been a radio animator and regissor of a spanish emission in Sweden, although, when I arrived sweden, i didn't speak any of these 2 languages(this was about 2 months before the beginning of the radio thing!).. PLayed badminton with monks in a lost Nepali monastry more than 4000m high! Swam with sharks and sea snakes

Teach, Learn, Share

Well, there is always to learn from the other and share with the other.

So I basically think the sharing will come by talking. however, I now have been around lots of places, experienced spots in the 5 continents, and am very happy to share good spots for example ...
