CURRENT MISSION

Listening stories from far far away in my living room. Then taking place in yours. (and becoming rich... why not?)

ABOUT ME

I'm a dreamer... With dreamer's qualities and defaults...

Open-minded, "discover" and "learn" are words I like.
Easy going, "to share" is a key notion in my life.
I think I can say I'm a nice person, in general.. I mean.. I know that in the early hours of a new day, I can be a true asshole.. But, fortunatly, most of the times, the reason why I'm awake in the morning, is just because I never went to sleep ;-)

I love Justice. Not the one delivered in the courts I guess. But true one. I wish we could all be equals. Sounds stupid. But it's a wish...

I'm not a Paris addict. It's beautiful and everything. But there are a lot of beautiful places in the world, and sometimes, there is something more than just beauty.. like soul. vibrations...

I forgot: I'm listening to music almost everytime, everywhere.

PHILOSOPHY

One Life, Live it!!
I don't live to work but works to live. And to travel.
In a nutshell, I think my personal philosophy draws inspiration from the rastamen's one.. sort of.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Just trying to help travellers to discover Paris without spending too much money. And glad that somebody is doing the same in Kingston, Bangkok, Mexico, Accra or Sidney...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm new here, so I didn't travelled yet through CS... But I've lived some similar experiences in Montreal(Canada); London(UK); Casablanca(Morocco); San Diego(US); Grand Case(St Maarten);...
Each time was so different that I won't waste your time in details

Interests

-Everything related to pictures and sounds (movies, music, photography... watching, listening, making!) Come to discover our living room.... Surprise, surprise!
-Everything related to sports (when I realized that I couldn't be a football player, I had my period "I want to work in sports journalism".. but it's over ;-) The principal obstacle was that I'm not made to study. I love to learn, but in my own way.)
-Other cultures. Talking about everything that makes us different. Beliefs, ways of life...
-Being on a beach (not alone)
-Party (and everything related to.. food, drinks, dance...)
-An interest that I developped lately: indoor gardening.
