About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learning about life and things every day !

ABOUT ME

My favorite places on earth are the cafés (/bars). This is where I like to share stories, adventures, opinions, discoveries with friends.
But I don't only drink coffees/beers, I also like urban culture, cinémas, theatre, litterature, all these kind of things which spice up a city life...

Otherwise I'm interested in alternative agriculture as well as alternative way of life. I've learned a lot about that because of my studies (for the moment, I'm specializing in environmental policy) but also by making wwoofing and hitchhiking all around France and northern Europe.

PHILOSOPHY

"feed your head" ... with every sorts of experiences ... spontaneity & curiosity is my motto.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We hosted many couchsurfers last year with my flatmates. One of them even became our flatmate ! It has always been good experiences.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The type of experience I prefer : to meet up with a firend/friend of friend/couchsurfer for coffee/Beer who just told me the day before she/he was coming

Interests

Photography : R. Mapplethorpe, Arbus, Abbott,...

Unexpected/weird/crazy situations like beginning an evening with close friends and ending it with friends of friends of friends you've never seen before

Travelling in an opened way : have you ever tried InterRail ? Hitchhiking by a beautiful summer day ? ...

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies : Kyss mig, die Klavierspielerin, all Wim Wenders, Rainer Werner Fassbinder... And of course a lot of french film directors (if you are a film lover we will have a good fit), and every good movie that one can recommend me !

Music : I'm playing the trumpet so I'm listening to a lot of styles. From jazz and blues, rock to classical (baroque especially) music. But my favorite references are definitely Patti Smith, PJ Harvey, Beth Hart, Etta James, Nina Simone, Janis Joplin, The Doors, Dire Strait, Leonard Cohen, Jose Gonzalez, Björk, Amy Winehouse ... hard to be exhaustive

Books : sure I'm reading a lot (currently Stefan Zweig, Jack Kerouac, William Burrough, Violette Leduc, Susan Sontag, Simone de Beauvoir)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I often get lost when coming for the first time on a place I didn't know. The amazing thing is that every time I find my way again.

Teach, Learn, Share

Since I can play the trumpet, I can teach you about brass instruments. I can play a little bit of guitar. I like sharing through music, for example a jam session when there's nothing to do on sunday afternoons...

I'm making a lot of photography and have always with me two cameras (a digital one and an argentic one)

But isn't it the best way to share, beeing at a bar or around a table with good coffee/drinks and talking about ones experiences ?

What I Can Share with Hosts

For the moment, I cannot share any flat because I'm on my way to find one for the coming year... So, work in progress, I'll be soon accepting guests !
