ABOUT ME

Im from a small village in the west of France, in Brittany.
I left my countryside to meet people and discover the world.
I lived in Paris for 3years where I studied Multimedia/Cinema and specially the ways of using computer in Art.
Then I lived 3 years in Montreal Quebec Canada, ending my Master in Multimedia and start working. I made an amazing trip hitch-hicking across all canada in 2006 (13 000km).
Back in my village, I stayed a few months to help and mix images for a non-profit festival, we held each summer ...

I start a trip around the world on December 2008. I want to be sure this planet is really round... I need to meet new cultures and find new inspirations in my travels. I take my pens and scratchbooks for new drawings and paintings.

One year ago i came back from my round the world trip, i dreamt it then did it... met amazing people, seen so many beautiful sceneries, crossed unbelievable universes... unforgettable, I wont spend my life in front of my computer...

I studied Digital Art. you can discover my artwork on http://www.ron-x.com. (big digital mess)

My passion is Art, i draw, paint, play music (guitar), and more (etchings, sculpture, animation, writing...)

I love sharing my creations with other artists or interesting people.
I also make experimental movies and mix videos as a VJ in differents events...

I come from the countryside, so i'm quite interested in Nature and pollution issues. I think we need to radically change our ways of consumption.

PHILOSOPHY

Each experience of life can be seen as Art.
My philosophy is like Poe's sentence:
"Those who dream by day are cognisant of many things which escape those who dream by night"

I love hitch hiking because it enables me to meet local people and usually filter all the @##*!! selfish uninteresting people and find the good ones.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I try to speak about CS around me and convince people to take hitch hikers...

Me an my friend Emily discovered the East coast of Canada in January (New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia and Newfounland)

The trip was amazing as you can see on http://transcanadastop.over-blog.com.
