ABOUT ME

(voix de Julien Lepers)"Top ! être doué de raison, dotée de 23 paires de chromosomes, dont la dernière est XX, je vis le jour à la fin des années 80 à Strasbourg ... je suis... je suiiiis ?!"

Yep, this is incomprehensible for non-french speaker, I know. To summarise : bla-bla-bla...

PHILOSOPHY

pou-pou-pidou...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Discover CS in the crazy 'invasion of Geneva' (2009), couch surf in England some years ago...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Mostly doing genuine couch surfing outside the CS website : hosting friend ; friends of friends ; family of friends and so on.

Interests

Using my friends as guinea-pig for new cooking
experiences ; haunting museums ; patiently waiting for a reconstituting of the Ballets Russes (I can dream, can I ? ); photography ; cinema ; architecture ; drawing ; theatre ; papouiller les chats (sorry, I don't find an adequate english translation); wondering why I haven't green thumb and persisting in having houseplants ; oh! and traveling... obviously !

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Be born !
And since this apotheosis...errr, nothing amazing to tell maybe, but surely lots of wonderfull big and little things to live !

Teach, Learn, Share

I get paid for being a teacher in History, geography and history of art, so the government says I'm able to teach that subjects at least.
I can also teach basic drawing, I think.
As for learning, I would love to learn arabic languages, but for the moment I'm just too lazy to start.
