ABOUT ME
Rather laidback and very curious.

PHILOSOPHY
I've got a hungry brain, I need to keep on learning.
I try to be a decent person, it's actually not that hard.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I joined in 2005 and hosted a few members back then (sadly, their comments were deleted by a 2014 website upgrade), then stayed with Couchsurfers in Milano (where I was adopted by an incredible gang of Iranian girl!) and Barcelona in the fall of 2014.
I also helped a bit with organising the Paris Couchsurfing Rendez-Vous, deejayed at the goodbye party both in 2014 and 2015.

I wish to travel more often and meet new people, make new friends.

Interests

one-armed deejaying, dancing, doodlin', serious chopsticks practice, bad photography, ol' movies, cool visual arts...

I'm curious of the non-touristic things in the countries I visit : underground parties and artistic projects, meeting people, spending time together...
I also enjoy landmarks, countryside and museums, but I don't need to systematically check everything on the "10 things to see in town" lists.

• arts
• photography
• concerts
• dancing
• cooking

• cheese
• partying

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travel halfway around the world only to find an old friend from home I hadn't seen for over ten years, right in the middle of a party!

Teach, Learn, Share

I like cooking but I don't know that many recipes. still, I can fix a decent pad thai or improvise a ceviche. wouldn't mind learning a few new tricks, though.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Talk a lot, joke a little, cook together... Who knows?
