CURRENT MISSION

Enjoying the ocean life, trying to learn how to sail properly, eating a lot of shells!

ABOUT ME

I am open minded, very frank, funny, and enjoy life. I am always interested in new people I meet, especially if their language and culture are differents.I guess I am quite easy-going and laid-back.
I am absolutely fond of dressing up for any purpose, habbit I took when playing in my Brass band back in France, perhaps because I need not to be myself sometimes!!

PHILOSOPHY

We will sleep once we are dead, until then, just enjoy!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like to meet people from the CS community, by hosting them. I like showing them around the place I am staying in, and vice versa. This is what CS is all about: sharing.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I think CS is in the way of revolutionning the way I travel, for the best, and makes me enjoy travelling alone, which I seldom did in the past.

Music, Movies, and Books

12 Monkeys, Natural Born Killer, Pulp Fiction, Fear and loathing in Las Vegas,
Radiohead,Led Zeppelin, The Pink Floyd, The doors, Eels, Old French singers (Brassens, Brel). Obviously I am keen on Alternative rock in general (The Libertines, The White Stripes,The Strokes, Interpol, Radio 4, The rakes, The kooks...),and Brass Bands off course!!! I really love to hear new and original sounds, I am really open minded about that since I can listen to every kind of music, depending on my mood of course!!If you enter in my place I could be hearing as well old rock (Rolling Stones, The Who, Blondie, Creedance Clearwater, Neil Young, The Velvet Underground) as new electronic sounds(Chemical brothers, Thievery corporation, Amon Tobin, Basement Jack, Wax Taylor) reggae (Bob, The Gladiators, UB40) hip hop (IAM, NTM, Wu Tan Clan, Cypress Hill), etc..
Obviously I am definitively a French litterature reader, and I read SiFi but only great authors (Herbert, Asimov, etc..) and I like Fantasy written by Terry Pratchet or Tolkien. During the last months I have been trying to read American and English litterature (Dickens, Hemingway, etc...). I try to vary a lot what I read, depending on the time I have, and what's on my mind at the moment.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Navigate with my kayak 10 feet away from a whale and belugas in the Saguenay fjord in Quebec. Bungee Jump in Normandy (twice). Climbing a huge cathedral at dawn and watch the sunrise, drunk at 7 AM, in Nantes, France.
