ABOUT ME

I'm a 28 years old parisian, love to walk around, listen to music with people, go to concerts, sunbathing, cooking & eating, having long pointless discussions.
I studied to become a lawyer, but after the bar school I decided to pursue my old dream of making a living as a musician.
Therefore, I practice a lot, and try to see, hear, talk about as much music as I can !

I do have others interests of course...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Every time I'm travelling I try to find myself a nice host to enjoy the city I'm in. And when I'm in Paris, I like to show other people around, both the famous places and the unfamous, which are by far more interesting when you're couchsurfing.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couchsurfed for the first time in Boston a few years ago, at some people's I'm still friends with. Then I hosted a couple of dozens couchsurfers at my little place in the center of Paris, before leaving for an exchange program in russia, where I did some nice surfing too.

Interests

I love photography, which I've been doing with my roommate for a few years now, both taking pictures and processing them in our small blackroom. Now that we've moved in our house, we can't process anymore (lack of space and darkness), but we still enjoy taking pics and eventually going to photo exhibitions

Most of all, I'm really crazy about music. I play piano, bass, guitar and just started trumpet; my roommate plays the drums, guitar and a little bass. But what we love most is just to chill in front of the speakers and play a nice and warm record...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I sailed down french biggest river (1000 Km), from the source to the ocean, in a canoe. It took me 25 days, and it's one of my best travel memories.
7 days later, I did the same on the Danube, only this time it was 3000 km long ! Tough trip, but definitely worth the effort, we had so much fun !

I played hockey on frozen lake Baikal while sun was setting.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've come to know Paris quite well, so I should be able to show a couplenice things and places to couchsurfers

Concerning what I'd like to learn, well... everything interesting is good to take
I believe one can't be annoying when talking about his passion.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My humble knowledge in music, or photography, or my curiosity in general !
