CURRENT MISSION

New York city, november 2008...

ABOUT ME

It's quite difficult for me to fight here my extreme caution with words...
I guess I'm a rather easy-going guy, trying to be as curious as I can be about situations and people I come across.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

No couchsurfing experience myself.
But heard tons of friends saying I should try it (none of which tried it themselves, I think).
Here I am.

• literature

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Japan (ten years ago)
Gave up engineering (AFTER graduating)for theater
(I still don't know what was craziest ; doing that or thinking I could be an engineer in the first place)
Went to Crete this summer
Planning a trip to Indonesia before coming to NY this fall.
Yes, after years spent NOT leaving France, 2008 is my international year...

Teach, Learn, Share

Not a bad cook... Love to share that.
Love to read, love to draw.
(after being a compulsive drawer when I was a child, I almost completely gave up until I found the right brush in Japan and learnt a little calligraphy to go with it ; never stopped again since then)
