About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Moving to Angoulême

ABOUT ME

I like to think of myself as a pretty adventurous, curious, active person, but I can also be calm and easy going. After all, the best way to find out is to meet me!

PHILOSOPHY

Philosophy? As for most of you I mostly want to travel my ass off until I die of it (or nearly). I try to do it respecting others and ensuring I do get my share of respect, but mostly I am just super curious about what I do not know and how people live around me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I was hosted during travelling almost 10 years ago, and was told about this great site that allows me to welcome people as well and get to know cool persons.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Nowadays I mostly consider CS as a community of travellers and curious and open-minded people, I knew a lot of my best friends through CS!

Interests

My favorites includes traveling of course, discovering places, people, cultures and nature, walking and cycling, but as well reading, painting, and having strange conversations about unexpected themes with new acquaintances!!

Music, Movies, and Books

I really enjoy comics, mangas and bande dessinée, so I can talk at lenghth about it... I like more or less any kind of books, and prefer independent movies. As far as music is concerned, I get super high with ska and relax to alternative rock.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Amazing picks in my trips? Ok, let's try these:
- Sleeping in the middle of the salt lake of Uyuni in Bolivia (and surviving the freeze!)
- Catching piranhas with Wayanas indians in the middle of the Guayana rain forest
- Discovering Klezmer music while being an ice-cream vendor in an opera in Great Britain
and some more I can tell you!

Teach, Learn, Share

"Everyone around you is fighting a battle you know nothing about. Be kind. Always."

Oh and try and live on the light side of life, both in the psychological and material meanings of it...

What I Can Share with Hosts

DIY beauty and hygiene tips, cooking (but I have to warn I'm not so good at it), cleaning if you like, massages,... and of course any conversation topic you like :-D
