I am a perfect Epicurean, that's what I am and who I am.
For a living, I am a social worker. My position at the moment consists on organizing a big change of school rhythms, here close to Bordeaux, in the countryside.
I love traveling (I can't have holiday without flying to visit a new place), going out in pubs, concerts, meeting new persons, playing the music, partying... I love music in general, concerts and festivals, and try to play some sometimes. And what else about me ?... The best way to discover is to meet me for real!

Few years back, as it always happen in life: after a big change in my life, I've decided to live my life leaded by one idea: no regret, ever. I just want to do what I feel like doing, enjoying as much as possible what I'm living at the moment and the persons I'm living it with. I hope I'll keep getting amazed by little things most people don't even notice.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on CS because I can't think of a better way to travel. Meeting locals, people who can make you experience something very typical, or just give you tips about the area. Anyway, each time I've surfed/hosted, it was an amazing experience. Funny stories, funny things to do. It's not about accommodation really, it's far over that. And I like the idea to be there to help travellers who come by Bordeaux, just to make their stay in this gorgeous city as good and enjoyable as can be!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Going up a ski station in Morocco, one hour and a half after getting tanned drinking an orange juice in the souk. Just unexpected as can be!

Teach, Learn, Share

Share? A nice moment, lovely talk, bottle of wine.

Teach? Honestly, I wouldn't say I can teach anything, really. I can make you discover some things I guess, but nothing when it comes to teaching. Oh, few words in French maybe? And ok, let's also say a nice way to cook salmon tartare :-)

Learn? So many things that it's just impossible to write them down... But I'd love to learn other languages, how to grow plants properly (I am a disaster when it comes to keeping plants alive...), how to cook knedliky (not sure about how to write it though), know about wine, not just knowing how to drink it. That gives you an idea but there would be many many things more...

What I Can Share with Hosts

Nice drinks, nice talks, travel stories...

Ok, I gotra say: I know some AWESOME jokes which, (un?)fortunately, I am always incredibly happy to tell...!
