About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoying every second of my life. Learning to take care of the Earth.

ABOUT ME

I'm a really easy going person. I try to take the best out of every situation and enjoy it. I really enjoy travelling and I would like to keep travelling, especially "slow travelling" as they call it, including WWOOFing and other stuff like this. At the same time, I really enjoy being at home and having the opportunity to work on a garden. In a medium term futur, I'd like to have my place and live in almost self sufficiency.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

While travelling, I believe that the best experience is one shared with the locals and couchsurfing is a good way to have this experience. On the other hand, I'm really happy to be able to share some local knowledge with fellow travellers when I'm at home; it makes me feel like I'm travelling in my own city!

Interests

I really enjoy music. I've been playing guitar for around 12 years now. I also know some basics of piano, ukulele, flute and i've tried some more exotic instruments, like the balalaika. I would be glad to enjoy a jam with you if you have any instruments!

I also like sports, horseback riding and doing some bike. Outdoor activities of any kind are also a big part of my life.

Moreover, i enjoy gardening, fishing and watching nature.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: The Strumbellas, Cat empire, Xavier Rudd, Kim Churchill, Les colocs, Jean Leloup, The beatles, Bob Dylan, Nirvana and Debussy to name just a few.

I enjoy watching a movie, althought I don't do it often. Last 3 I watched was The Lord of the ring trilogy.

Some authors I like: Garcia Marquez and Murakami (Just finished Norwegian wood and I'm now reading 1Q84 which I love!).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

During a camping trip in Canada, a bear woke me up in the morning, at 4:30. He was desperately searching for food, which i did not have in the tent. So, when he started being more curious and touching the tent, I just told him: "Whoa Bear, I'm a human, please go away" in a smooth voice. In the end, the bear was really scared and ran away! (which left me shaking in my sleeping bag for at least a good hour)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach some basics about music, guitar and organic gardening.

I would like to learn more about where you're from and about your culture :)

I really want to share good time with good people.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share a good meal with you, but even better woud be an adventure! Simple adventures like going for a picnic to the beach are perfect, while I'm definitively in for bigger adventures too!
