About Me
CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME
I survived the American Dream in Black Rock City,
fell in love with L.A., living there in 2007-2008, and with California
PHILOSOPHY
Earth preservation, trying to live life simply, to learn ways to reduce stress on Earth, to consume just what I need.
Respect, responsibility, and this tough task of trying to understand human interactions
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
As I can't really tell far in advance whether I'll be able to host, I would prefer receive less than 72h surfing requests!
*** Due to maintenance, our couch is unavailable until 11th of September ***
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
One couchsurfing experience in NYC with my friend Joseph at Eben's. Spent two nights there, it was a really great experience - Eben showed us around and we had a lot of fun with him.
Another restful one in Davis, CA, where I learned how to play Jacks (!), plus another one in San Diego as time goes by, Yosemite and so on...
Couchsurfed my car with two friends in the middle of Baja California desert waiting for some people to help us get a new tire.
Then, unexpectedly couchsurfed these people's house in San Quintin - this family was the couchsurfing essence!
Interests
Well of course, climate economics!
Wandering Paris' streets and museums
Hiking, space related topics but also more down to earth water related issues! Impressionists, talking about books-travels-personal experiences around the world and a glass of wine and french cheese/or a beer in a café
