About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Drag my feet everywhere on the planet.

ABOUT ME

I'm back to Toulouse after having spent 4 months teaching/travelling in Taiwan. There's a lot these 4 lines could fit but for now I'll just say I'm back to the south of france for the next 3 or 4 months and I'm willing to meet, and possibly host, travellers who pass by.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

A room or couches are available almost all the time.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I hosted a couchsurfer back in Manchester and young Jakob from the US back in France. Both were truly interesting experiences and I can't wait to do it again.

Interests

Music mostly. I'm a huge fan of the Smiths, the Pixies, the futureheads, erykah badu, Ladytron, many things really. I've been listening to the Smashing Pumpkins a lot lately. The last Arcade Fire too. I think Antony and the Johnsons are one of the most important bands of these last few years.
Apart from music, I love watching films. I'm a complete devoted fan of Gregg Araki's films. I like Takeshi Kitano, Wong Kar Wai. The films that changed my life in no particular order are Little Miss Sunshine, Donny darko, 28 days later, Mysterious Skin, Chunqing Express and many more. I love books. Oscar wilde is god. I love Bret Easton ellis, Jonathan Coe, Jeffrey eugenides, Yukio Mishima and recently Chuck pahlaniuk.
I love taking pictures but I'm not so good at it.
I love playing music, creating.
