About Me

Expat, living in Lyon since 2021, often in Montpellier for my family.

Having lived in several countries, I recognise the value of a local guide and a safe place to stay.

If you need a place in Lyon, feel free to ask. My 9m^2 apartment can host two, at least for a night. ;) I prefer to have a short video call before welcoming you.

I am a:
- cat person (but I get along with dogs, and their owners too sometimes :p )
- fan of role playing games (not online, and no, not running around with a plastic sword. It's complicated. I'll explain when we meet.)
- co-parent (for the moment my kid lives with the mother, but I often visit them in Montpellier)
- late sleeper by nature

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I joined because I want to get to know the places via their people and athmosphere. I stayed because I value a resilient and reciprocal community.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I like indie, '60s/'70s, chillhop, and then some.
Simon and Garfunkel, Leonard Cohen, Spinvis, Emiliana Torrini... but also stuff like Daft Punk, Blue Boy, the mindless sing-alongs.

I had a phase with the Walking Dead, makes you think who you really are.

Favorite books: Lying on the Couch, Irvin Yalom; Winnie the Pooh, A.A. Milne; Factfulness, Hans Rosling

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've worked as a farmhand on a biodynamic farm in the south of Sweden for a few months. The people there, returning to what's at the core of life, all of that was very wholesome.
