Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Get back to the place I was born : Polynesia (in the middle of the Pacific Ocean) without any plane.
Design and build temples around the world.
ABOUT ME
I'm interested in everything, I want to learn as much as possible ! I stay open to any topic, any opportunity to share time with different kind of people.
More than anything, I love to have a discussion with someone who have a different point of view than mine.
PHILOSOPHY
Time is going fast, we have to enjoy each moment.
The diversity is the best quality of humanity.
Anyone have the capacity to do what he wants at any moment of his life.
The goal do not matters, the path do.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE ON COUCHSURFING
Travelling a lot, sharing experiences, histories, knwoleadges too, I love teaching !
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
A six month travel arround Latin America with my ex-girlsfriend. We met a lot of amazing people thanks to couchsurfing ! For us it was the best way to get away from the biten tracks and really understand the local culture.
Interests
Sharing first, on any topic ! I love travelling, sharing knowleadge, cinema, sports, hang out, meditation, walk in unknown places, discover other cultures, philosophy, reading, taking my time when I want to.
As an architect, I love discuss arroud architecture (any type), design and built things, from furnitures to structures. My art has a particular focus on sacred geometry and I dedicate myself to imagine and realize beautiful and inspiring spaces.
I love festivals, I organized some in the past, in France. I really believe that's a way to give some colors to people's life.
I do juggling with poï, fire ones, leds ones, watercolor paintings, contact dance and I play transverse flute. I may get my clown’s red nose from time to time…

Music, Movies, and Books
MUSIC
From electronic music to classic, passing by slam and jazz ! I always say there is good and bad things in every kind of music.
I can listen hours of Pink Floyd in a raw without boring me. I love 50's and 70's music, from Jango to Nail Young. I always want to discover new things !!
MOVIES
The Wall, The Grand Budapest Hotel, Interstellar, Wall-E (and almost all the Pixar's !), Spirited Away (and all the
Hayao Miyazaki's movies), Rock'n'rolla, Snatch, most of the movies with Robin Willams, like Dead Poets Society. Tarantino's like Pulp Fiction and Resevoir Dogs. So much more... I like films that gives you some thoughts.
BOOK
I read a lot of fantasy books, like The Lord of the Rings in the past and now more philosophic ones and reflections on the environment crisis like Hubert Reeves' ones.
And, for sure, I read a lot of architecture books.
I love comic strips too !
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Climbing on an in construction tower at night to see the city.
Cross the jungle by boat.

Built a temple in the desert.
Suspended myself above 100 meters void.

Teach, Learn, Share
I learned a lot while traveling and would be happy to share it. I can teach basis of yoga and meditation, how to make your own chocolate or coconut oil !
Food ! I usually cook some French dishes for my hosts but I can share recipes from all Latin America.
I always like to share time discovering the city or hanging out. I stay open to any opportunity : one day I did a Inka ceremony with one of my hosts !
