I graduated from a Sound Engineering Degree, then from a Film Bachelor with a few months of hitchhiking and volunteering in between. Now i'm about to start an internship in a french radio, hopefully leading to a short term contract to get some new experience and pounds to start my life somewhere. I'm thinking about Ireland, Scotland or Italy.

My former lives were a scholar one in Sound Engineering. Then for a few months' life in different places in France all linked with the idea of improving the democracy by trying alternatives. At last, a six months' life in a journey to Middle East and Eastern Europe where i wanted to experience at maximum hitchhiking and volunteering with the idea of learning local languages and cultures directly with the people.

Now, I still want to travel, to live, to experience things. I would like to improve my world comprehension by living in different places for enough years to understand at least a glimpse of their cultures and way of living. I did this in the Netherlands for a few months living there last year.

I'm very interesting in all cultural things to deal with ; i will surely ask you if you want to talk to me about various subjects in front of a microphone, you are free to refuse of course. The same for photographies.

If you want a glimpse of me through my works, i invite you to these links:

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Why not ?
It's cool and interessant to meet people, to exchange, to help one another.

I cannot host anyone these days/months because i came back at my parents in the countryside of Rennes.

Music, Movies, and Books

As a Table book i would say Kerouac's On the road or S. Chalandon's The Fourth Wall. I read again the Harry Potter serie when i lived in Rotterdam, now i'm peacefully listening to the audiobooks (Goblet of Fire these days) when i feel like it. I just finished A Xmas Carol, i wasn't expecting such narration and narrative, reading with the audiobook as an atmosphere was delightful !

I regret not to have enough time to read more, audio-watch more movies (Yes i did say audio-watch )

But I would say, Blade Runner for Sci Fi, Jules & Jim, Les 400 Coups and La Nuit Américaine for Mr Truffaut. Godard, Park Chan-wook, Na Hong-jin, Joon-Ho Bong, Wes Anderson, Xavier Dolan, A. Hitchcock & S. Kubrick, etc.. And Monsieur Andreï Tarkovsky for everything of course. If you have any italian, german or russian cinema to advice me don't hesitate ! I have quite a list already but i'll try to watch them sooner or later.

Music is more than an Art, a single haïku can drop you far beyond borders. But these days i'm much more into Soundtracks, Folk and Jazz music if you ask. Here! I give you French 79 (Between the Buttons) and Buena Vista Social Club ! Enjoy :)

Reading The Long Tomorrow and Nausicaä was as beautiful as audiowatching the masterpieces that are Blade Runner and Nausicaä Valley of the wind. How to adapt a masterpiece by doing an other one ? ... That's a wonderful question

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Learning community living on self managed and self administrated places, does that count ?

Otherwise i just went for six months of volunteering and hitch in Mid East and Eastern Europe to meet people, learn languages and cultures and trying to built projects. The last part as quite failed. But i will try again.

Trying to live in the Netherlands, settled there from September to March (2018-2019). Dutch culture and language are quite interesting !

Teach, Learn, Share

I don't know. I can share everything i know and own.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share a lot of myself, from my thoughts to my projects, from my journeys to my skills.

I want to learn from you. Tell me more about you.

As a traveller i want at maximum to work, help the host and discovering his city and language through his eyes and stories.
