About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travelling til November 2015

ABOUT ME

I am a citizen of the world, despite deeply attached to my hometown Montpellier. I (used to) work in software industry but definitely artistic profile and comedy-addict : highly involved into it, (play classic drama, improvisation and standup comedy, organize my own events)
I've been hosting a lot over the last 3 years, mostly during summer.
I'm moving to Australia June 2014 for a 1-year trip, so it'll be my turn to drop my backpack at your place!

PHILOSOPHY

Live every day as if it was your last one.

It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare, it is because we do not dare that things are difficult.

Your life is yours. Ask for forgiveness, not for pemission.

Yippie-Kai-eh, motherf**er!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Discovered it a couple years ago, as I travelled through France, visited 10 cities, enjoyed being a host, met adorable people, had great times.
Now returning the favour by hosting travellers and playing city guide as often as I can.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

One random great memory among so many :

Improvising a drunk singing duet at 5 AM with my new CS mate sing "Bohemian rhapsody" out loud in the streets of Madrid, trying to find the way back to the flat after a crazy night out with a whole bunch of roommates and surfers :)

Interests

Movies, music, drama - mostly improvisation, travelling - discover new places, people and way of thinking, partying, hanging out with friends, biking, running.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

So many stories to tell :) ... just come and talk!

Teach, Learn, Share

I may be quite handy with computer issues,
I can discuss movies for hours and last but not least, teach you a few goog cocktail recipes :)
I'm learning guitar at the moment, so I can teach you some basis but still have a lot to learn! (started on a couchsurfers party in a beach, btw :))
but most of all, I try to learn from people, from their personalities and differences...most enriching learning you can find.
