About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Teach like a champion!

ABOUT ME

At the moment, I'm a high school English teacher, and a musician. Beyond that, I've been a bunch of places & love other folks, other languages, and other perspectives. I enjoy food, especially home-made food, and I'm making some efforts to leave the world better than I find it.

PHILOSOPHY

Philosophy: a drain on the revolutionary spirit?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

CS m'a permis de faire beaucoup de choses que j'aurais pas su faire tout seul. Non seulement de voyager, mais aussi de découvrir beaucoup du monde et du moi-même. Je suis endetté aux Couchsurfers qui m'ont fait autant découvrir et j'espère pouvoir faire de même pour de futurs couchsurfers !

CS has meant a lot to me since I started surfing in 2011. It's let me do things I wouldn't have otherwise been able to do, and it's taught me a lot about myself in the process. I owe a lot to the folks who have hosted me and encouraged me, and I hope to do the same for others!

Interests

La littérature, la musique, un peu de politique, et un peu de progrès vers la justice. (C'est trop voulu?)

Literature, music, a bit of politics, and perhaps a bit of work towards justice. (Maybe a bit much to ask!)

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm crazily passionate about a couple languages. (A particular shout-out: maa ngiy jàng wolof ak enthousiasme bu dul jeex waay ! Boo ma mëna jàppale, walla nga bëgga waxante ci sa làkku réew, nga wax ma ko).

Oh, and music. I try!
