I was born in Lille to a Spanish mother and a malagasy father, in a multicultural melting-pot. As I grew up in a jazzmen family and with a make-up artist mother, I've always been keen on arts, music, dance and live shows in general ! This childhood led me to a strong passion about garments, costumes, moving fabrics, textures, crafts and fashion !
I've always been aware of the bad impact of fashion industry, and I feel to help people from Madagascar getting out from misery and poverty, so I decided to develop a fair fashion brand fully made in Madagascar. I'm currently looking for co-founders of the brand in order to develop it properly and launch it as soon as possible.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on couchsurfing for the good and simple reason that I love traveling and meeting new interesting people, practice languages, I feel to get inspired by most of people I meet in my life. Every time I go to a new place, I go back home with new contacts and new friends around the world, so everyone is welcome to visit me in France and I know that I'm more than welcome to visit them as well. I like this kind of philosophy, sharing things with people we barely know, like says a quote from the great Victor Hugo : "And then, there are the ones we meet, we barely know, that tell us a word, a sentence, give you one minute, half-an-hour, and change the course of your life."

Music, Movies, and Books

I would say I like every kind of music as long as it's quality, but I wouldn't be very original... But it's very true ^^ !! Okay, I admit I have some music styles I'm completely fond of : Jazz, Funk and Hip Hop (to sum it up a little). I love Trip Hop and Electro swing as well, but I could make an endless list of it so let's meet if you want to know more about it.
I don't read since a very long time, and not so often as it depends from my spare time. To be honest I read most of the time when I'm traveling by myself, I loved Mario Vargas Llosa books, Agnès Martin Lugand and I also like real travel books like Silvain Tesson's or Salinger...
As for the Movies, well it's more or less like music, I can enjoy any kind of movie as long as it's great cinema, good quality ! But to give you a small idea of the movies I prefer, here are a few ones : Diarios de Motocicleta, Mr Nobody, I origins, The shawshank redemption... And soooooo many more.
I watch some TV series as well.
