About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Becoming a singing teacher after being a "mathematician".

ABOUT ME

"If we asked your best friends about you, what kinds of things would they say?"...
Wow, they would say a lot of things! But the best is to ask them by yourself.

Basically I think I am like lot of people here (if you know monthy python, I would say "NO! I am not different!"): I like meeting people, travelling and discovering new things. If I have to speak a bit more about myself, I was a scientist (mathematician, a specie that doesn't bite but seems to scare lot of people) and I am now leading a (very) small company doing mathematical studies for complicated things. Aside I learnt to speak human (at least English and French, Esperanto is on the way and I have maybe 8 methods for other languages at home that I will open one day).

I use to couch surf the old way when I was younger: going in a new town and ask for people. These are wonderful memories. Actually I live a quite busy live. I decided to leave my flat to live in a truck (see picture), I am studying lot of new thing to become a singing teacher, and still works sometime as a computer science engineer.

I sometime think about hosting people in my bus, but this would be really complicated to organise on CS.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can't host people anymore but I'll discover the other side of couch surfing !

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

As I said in my description : I use to couch surf the old way when I was younger: going in a new town and ask for people. These are wonderful memories and I am open to test a more modern way. I have now a bit more experience mainly in hosting people.

Interests

Since I spend most of my time working (yes...) and I love being outside, I tried to do both of them at the same time. I had written a blog about this but it was closed in January 2014... Maybe I'll reopen it later.
Aside, the thing I like most is meeting people, just that !

I also play (a few) guitar, do some improvisation theatre, do some slackline sometime and enjoy being in nature when I can.
