About Me

I'm respectful, quiet, tidy and polite. I have a long experience of shared living spaces. I clean after myself and am happy to take part in household chores and grocery shopping during my stay.
I like to share stories, music, books, movies...

I've been a videomaker for more than 15 years (director/cameraman/editor), I've also worked in radio (as a sound technician and musical programmer). Recently I've made a career change and I'm working in the tourism industry.
I've also been involved in organizing cultural events (concerts, festivals, exhibitions...) since my teens.

I can't host at the moment because I'm renovating and my place is a mess.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've had a couchsurfing account for years but haven't been using it much because I usually volunteer through sites like helpx and workaway when I'm travelling and I prefer to stay longer with my hosts to get a better feel of the places I visit.
Also I don't seem to get much luck finding hosts when I try couchsurfing.

Interests

I'm into anything that has to do with images (video, photo, cinema, comic books...).
I love hiking, losing myself in humbling landscapes, camping, discovering new things and places.
