About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Taking care of the most important living creature on earth, my wife. Discovering the world, meet and share with people.

ABOUT ME

I'm from Bretagne (Britanny) the west part of France. I love crêpes and galette, cidre, travelling, sailing ... I can help you learning french, discovering Britanny gastronomy.
I really like the philosophy of "Treat other like you would like them to treat you" (sorry for the approximate translation). And that's why I always try to do (^_^). Make people feel comfortable at home, share meal, story, and giving tips on how to discover the best of London.
I always try not to bother my host when I travel, and tend to be quite easy going I think (^_^)

PHILOSOPHY

"Treat others like you would like them to treat you". I wish everyone respected the others as much as they want to be respected (^_^).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm quite new to CS. A few years ago I had one guest in my flat in PAris and it was a really cool experience. Then I meet my wife and the flat (that was already small) became too small to host more people, so I had to pause CS. Now that we moved to London and are lucky enough to have a quite big living room we want to start again (^_^).

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Nearly none. As I said above I hosted one person back when I was single in Paris, and then nothing (^_^).

Interests

My wife, one of the most intriguing and profound person I know (^_^), I wish I can help making our life full of interesting travel and discoveries for a long time !

I work in computer science and generally love it for many reason, but the most important one is because it's a new area, where we have a lot to discover, and it let you express your creativity in many ways.

I also like photography and piano (I'm still learning).

Music, Movies, and Books

Old rock (Beattle, Rolling stones, ...)
Jazz and old Jazz,
Classical music (modern and old :-) )

My favourite film would be Lord of the ring, I know it's cliche but I read the book I don't know how many time when I was a child, and the film adaptation is pretty good (^_^), not as goo as the book but pretty damn close (^_^).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Find my second half and marry her !
Living in a japanese family for a few months (^_^)
Living in Mexico (for about 1 year) and learn Spanish there.
Living in London (1.5 years and counting)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Depending on the kitchen and available product in stores I can cook various kind of Britanny/French meal: galette (with Buckwheat flour), creps, "souffle au fromage", ... The list can be long (^_^).
Also happy to spend time with host visiting town, sharing lunch / dinner, climbing (outdoor or indoor), walking/trekking in parcs.
For people curious about photography I can also help with how to take good picture at night, good picture of fountain / waterfall / moving water, theory of photography etc.
