CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I was born in Montpellier, Southern France, then lived in many different places of the South as well as in the French Alps and on the Altantic Coast. I also lived in Portland, Maine, USA, Paris (for 19 years) and Victoria, Canada (2 years).
I love travelling the world, meeting people, learning how they live, where they are coming from.
I've worked as an editor, taught some courses on editing techniques and softwares, also was a business developper for a pub and micro brewing company before producing radio documentaries.

PHILOSOPHY

Truly grateful to be alive as a human being on this beautiful planet.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am curious about people, their way of life, the places they live in, the stories they have to tell.
I much prefer spending an evening cooking and sharing a meal over a good conversation with someone than staying in a hotel room or a hostel by myself...!
The concept of couchsurfing requires trust on both the hosts and the travellers' sides resulting in authentic exchanges and unique experiences.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Greek, Canadian and French couchsurfers are amazingly fun, friendly, and giving.
All my experiences have been enriching.
A few of my hosts became good friends for years after staying at their places for just one or 2 nights. One of them even came to visit me in Paris.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some French.
You can practice my yoga poses series with me in the morning.
I can help you out with a video editing work in progress or a screen script that needs some perspective.
You might like some of the few French recipes I like to make such as my traditional crème renversée or Boeuf Bourguignon.
My dream is to learn how to build a self-sustained house and manage a garden.
