COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

3 years ago, I had a great time travelling with CouchSufing in Japan ... It was amazing ! Since then, I did travel, either for business, either with friends ; and friends were rather keen on Airbedanbreakfast.com. Now that I will travel on my own again, I'm back to the origin : CouchSurfing !

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Not really amazing, but a great experience. For my graduation project at the Design Academy of Eindhoven, I did a project about the freedom in urban spaces. At the end of my research, I realized that "anonymity" is a key to act freely. I went at the edge of the city, in northern surburbs of Paris, working for monthes with "kids" (from 12 until 32) of this poor area to realize an advertisement campaign setting them up anonymously. (http://unpave.blog.lemonde.fr/2006/04/30/2006_04_realpublicity_i/)

The experience was so tough and amzing for me, I learned so much from them and all together we realized and art we were all proud of.
