Hello!
I don't know how to start, so I will tell you the basic stuff: my name is Manu, I'm currently in my third year at the Institute of Fine Arts in Toulouse.
I love to walk during hours in the cities to discover many hidden places. In daylight as well as at night, I'm always on to travel through the city.
I love to go to the museum, most of the time I go to contemporary art museum but I also like natural history museum where you can sort of investigate and create your own inquiry.
Nature is also my playground, I like to deal with both: nature and cities.
That is why this summer I coming to Japan to discover as much as possible!!!!
I'm really friendly, I love to spend time with my friends to picnic , drink beers, talk about pretty everything....and go to concerts !!!!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to be lost in translation ! I want to eat the city and discover it with local people!
And I will also be glad to welcome people and to share with them my daily life :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I really love Lost in Translation by Soffia Coppola. You can contemplate Tokyo by day and by night...
2001 : a space odyssey is also on my top five, I love slow movie where you can enter in the landscape and discover it.
Melocholia by Lars Von Trier is a rare bird and I'm an huge fan!
For the book, I read a lot of different stuff, it can be novel like Harry Potter (<3) or French literature like Marguerite Duras. I also try to read theory of contemporary art :)
I listen to different type of music depending on my mood! Currently I listen a lot to Yaeji, she's a Korean electronic/hip hop/trap music artist. So you can say that my current mood is electronic/hip hop/ trap music... I don't know if it means something...
I also listen to a lot of Indie rock
Connan Mockassin will always be in my heart hihi !

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travel ?

Teach, Learn, Share

For me, it is really important to discuss with others.
In my work, I create environmental installation so the visitors can totally immerse themselves. There is a dialogue between the visitor and the created landscape.
I love when people do the same with me, when they let me discover their worlds!!
It is really inspiring to see how others people can live :)
I'm learning so many things by meeting new people!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would be glad to share ideas, times, meals, discovery...pretty everything!
