About Me

CURRENT MISSION
Fight the power.

ABOUT ME

I'm half French, half Irish and I'm passionate about art and friends. Distractions aren't always bad things, some of my greatest experiences came about when I allowed myself to keep an open mind and follow alternative paths spontaniously.
I used to be really cynical but have become a much more positive, motivated person after a few strange and wonderful years in Glasgow.

PHILOSOPHY

Think about other people.
Be as honest as you can.
Rise above adversity.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosted a couple of times and surfed once, as a result I am now a dozen friends richer. Keep on trucking!
