About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Actually, I'm planning a 18 night trip to Japan, in order to immerse myself in the Japanese culture for a few weeks, discover temples, meet great people, Eat well, and take a break from work in Switzerland. Id like to visit Tokyo, Osaka, and kyoto

ABOUT ME

Born in Haiti in 1985, I've been lucky enough to travel plenty before I left high school. Most of my schooling was done in London, and paris too. I have a masters degree in geography and am currently responsible for the sustainable development program of a city called Morges , in Switzerland, right on Lake Leman.
I love laughing, eating well and meeting interesting new people. I play in a successful band, sing, love to paint love to draw and sketch people and cities.
Finally, I'm respectful and polite, and I think these qualities are important when travelling, in order to discover cultures more intimately.

PHILOSOPHY

Keep true to the dreams of thy youth. Henry David Thoreau
If you have built your castles in the air, don't worry, now you must build the foundations under them. Henry David Thoreau

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like to share moments with people, share company, and learn from them. I participate by being generous with the resources I have, including time.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had a few people over, but I haven't surfed with anybody yet. It's not out of ill will, I just could'nt do it from the place I was living in before.

Interests

Composing music (rock mostly), Singing classical music, palaeontology, art, urban planning and human geography, watching people be passionate about the things they like moves me.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like meeting original people, with their own ideas, and their own passions. I have been very lucky in my travels so far to meet these people. I 'd like to know people who can share knowledge of cultures and laugh about nothing as well. I like cynics :-)
