About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I'm an aspiring mountain alpine guide, Taking some courses, learning everyday about the great outdoors. Skiing, sweating, and having a great time :).

To make some money, I am working in a Bike shop, repairing and selling bikes from day to day. It was was a pragmatic choice for me, as cycling is one of my greatest passions. I think, bringing a bike in your daily routine, is the best way to live your life, exploring, commuting training, it's just so much fun!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Well...

For me, it's what life is made of, sharing, talking about the world, about us, the ones that live in it. Being able to share some ideas, celebrating humanity through discussions and travels! Laughing about our similarities, and learning from our differences.

Interests

I'm quite passionate about heaps of stuff!

I' really like to be outdoor, wether it be on my bike, or on skis... just walking around is also fine. I love to spend my evenings cycling, walking having beers with friends in parks. Exploring the urban landscape.

I'm a big fan of music (it really has a big influence on me), author films, books, well culture in general.

I do a lot of photography, and sometimes I shoot some films...

I really like to meet some new people, discuss, share some views on various topics, politics, culture, actuality etc.

Music, Movies, and Books

There is too much to list...

In terms of music I really like experimental electronic music (Secondo, Blawan, Alva Noto, 2562, Monolake, Pantha du Prince, The whole Dial Record label, as well as Ostgut Ton etc.), jazz (Art Blakey, Wynton Marsalis, Stan Getz, Skalpel, Radio Citizen etc.). I'm a huge fan of global beat music, like Cumbia (ZZK Records), Balkan beat, Kwaito, Baile Funk, Kuduro and so on.

I 'm also a big fan of movies, Jarmusch, Glodell, Dupieux, Sorrentino etc.

St-Éxupéry is one of my favorite autors, But I am not a big reader in terms of novells I prefer essays, like Thoreau, Chomsky etc. Most of the time, you'll find on my nightstand some books like: '' Staying alive in avalanche terrain'', '' The big blue book of bike mechanics'' etc.
