About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Looking at the world and enjoy it.

ABOUT ME

I am a French Illustrator. I grew up in Aix en Provence but I'm really attached to the Perigord's culture and food where my family comes from.
I am now living in Germany for 7 years.
I like to meet people, and to learn anything new when I got the opportunities to do it.

PHILOSOPHY

There is two aspect wich can describe a man: what he was born, and what he made of it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

For me couchsurfing is probably the best way to connect with the people and their culture all around the world.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was hosted a lot, and I host people several time. All of this experiences was wonderful.

Interests

Culture is probably what I enjoy the most. I like the feeling to enter for the first time in a new Museum, to read the first page of book, when the theater curtain opens. I am really curious and I see knowledge as an infinite series of Hills that I have to climb, for discovering what is to find on the other side.
Beside that I like to hang out, drink beer (one of the reason I am living in Germany) and wine (I grew up in the middle of the familial vineyard).
I confess that I also like to watch sport. It may be seen as a superficial activities, but nevertheless I just like it.

Music, Movies, and Books

I have really eclectic taste. I would be really hard to make a list of all of them.

But in general about movies : le cinéma burlesque, l'âge d'or hollywoodien, la nouvelle vague. Lubitsch, Rohmer, Tati, Tarkovsky, Fellini, Scola, Fassbinder.
about Music : indie, rock, electro, sometimes Jazz and Classic.
about Books : Poetry and Roman, mostly French and Russian books. I have the chance to can read in four different language.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

To be born.
Except that a lot of personal experience and werd moment that I can definitively call as "unordinary". If we have the chance to meet I could tell you some of it.

Teach, Learn, Share

I Know a lot of things, mostly about art. I am also a really good draughtsman. Maybe not a good teacher, but if you'd like I could show you the same.
