About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Just be myself

ABOUT ME

I leave in Dijon (for nearly ten years now) where I spent most of my time in an anarchist social-center call "Espace Autogérer des Tanneries".

I work as pastry chef and ice cream maker at he moment, I like spend my free time playing bord games with my familly and friends, organizing gigs or demonstration , dancing all night on shitty music from the 80's or brazilian funk, drinking cafe, ride my bike just to ride my bike, doing some diy jobs in the house, watching moovie, doing vegan food, and also trying to do good vegan and gluten free food so i can cook for mostly evryone.

I share my flat with wife Nina my almost 10 years old son Nemo and Imothep a 18 years old cat who basicly rule this place. our place is a vegan space so you know respect that and don't full or fridge with cheese and other animal product.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I join the CS project because I use to traveling a lot in France by hitch hiking and I often been invite to sleep on unknown people house.
I believe that hospitality is good for the host as for the hosted people who can discover new peoples cultures and more.

Music, Movies, and Books

moovie : crapy ones, chefd'oeuvre, independant and blockbusters depend of my moods.

music : a lot from diy to 80's comercial passing by all kind of styles (pop,brazilian funk, kuduro global bass, punk, folk, tecnho, electro, hiphop, synthpop,darkwave, doom, minimal, noise, rock, post punk and many more ...

I never been into book some times i feel liked in a reading mood and enjoy it but I mostly open political essais, zines and kitchen or grapism books.
And I have thing for theautobiographic indepandant comic scene (jeffrey brown rocks),and graphic novels.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

i left my home at 19 with 40 euros to go to an anti-g8 summit and came back 3 month later. during this time i slept outside, in abandoned place, in forest gathering, community, i discover squat mouvement in italia and switzerland, i made my fisrt dumpster diving, and meet so many peoples that I had to leave my home again and embrace a new life one month after my return.
