CURRENT TRAVEL MISSION

Master octopus telepathy.

I find that attempting to fill this out is a bit ludicrous and quite unnatural.

PHILOSOPHY

"Nothing is lost, nothing is created, everything is transformed."

Remember the trick is to keep on breathing...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have a great apartment in Paris with, yes, a big red couch that folds out as a bed.
I enjoy meeting people.
Friends and random encounters have been crashing here for a long time.

Quite specifically, I'm currently about to embark on a road trip through the Balkans and onto Turkey, then Georgia. I'd like to get a taste and feel of a part of the world I hardly know, and just let my mind wander from experience to experience.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

5 weeks in Istanbul.
A few nights in Japan.
A few nights in the Netherlands.

Music, Movies, and Books

That's a conversation, not a list :-)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

That too is a conversation... But ok:

As a teenager, I spent much of my weekends in the Paris underground catacombs, an officious guide to this maze-like network of tunnels beneath the city of lights.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know Film.
I know Food.
I love Language, and I'm bi-culturally bilingual, by upbringing.

What I Can Share with Hosts

That all depends, doesn't it?
