CURRENT MISSION

Discovering that sleeping is not such a waste of my time as I thought...

ABOUT ME

I'm friendly, quiet, but active and always happy to make new friends. A bit of a scatterbrain sometimes, which I try to make up by being ordely and organised without becoming maniatic. I now have a lovely baby to match my lovely girlfriend Bi-Li.

PHILOSOPHY

Respect. No religious beliefs, a scientist to the core, I feel I can lead an interesting conversation on about practically anything without getting worked up about it (I'm a teacher, I have a lot of practice!).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Have hosted. Have been hosted. I sometimes hanged around with some of the CS community of Mallorca. My girl was already a couchsurfer when we met! Now in London.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Have hosted. Have been hosted. Either way, great fun!

Interests

Having 2 children changes many things - now I have less time for everything which is not playing with them! I love dancing... always between salsa and tango. And then the usual... I like to go out for a drink, reading, going to the swimming pool, relaxing in the back garden if I have the time, occasionally playing the piano (it's electric so the volume is adjustable...), painting, theatre and in general any social or creative activity.

Music, Movies, and Books

I read science fiction (asimov), magical fiction (tolkien), humor (sharpe) and comics. I listen to many kinds of music, be it exotic, commercial, backstage or traditional, without sticking to any particular style. Although I appreciate alternative cinema, I also like commercial movies that make me forget the real world for some time!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

1. A huge storm in France. Biggest I've been in, and a tree collapsed meters away from my camping tent!
2. An exquisite chocolate cake the landlady of an isolated hut in the middle of nowhere in Scotland gave me to eat after an exhasuting 30km walk. Never tasted any better!
3. Free-fall jumping off a plane, tied on to a professional skydiver. Did it two years ago. Exhilarating.
4. My baby's smile.
