About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Investigating the collaborative economy as a research connector for Ouishare

ABOUT ME

I am a cosmopolitan French guy spending my energy on lots of fun -sometimes absurd- activities. I like change, diversity & (good) surprises. I am an independent thinker & worker. Good with ideas... not so good with implementation. My routine right now is to travel to the tropics during winter, chill in Provence during summer & do my thing moslty in Paris the rest of the time. But routines never last for very long with me...

PHILOSOPHY

Another balding skinny guy with glasses once said : "be the change you want to see". That sounds very right to me.
I'll be happy with being a small part of it.
And remember that "it's never too late to have a happy childhood" :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Once in a while I post events that I like & intend to attend. I'm also known to contact nearby travelers out of the blue when I find their profiles inspiring. If it happens to you, please don't get scared nor too excited ;)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've enjoyed quite a few drinks, meals or strolls with fellow travelers; been to a few gatherings; I rarely surf but regularly host fabulous people.
Pls excuse me if I don't find the time to reply promptly. I sometimes get batches of requests or questions.

Teach, Learn, Share

If we meet in Paris, I'll show you my great neighborhood, Belleville. If we meet in Marseille, I'll show you that the city is only second to NYC when it comes to pizza. If we meet in Singapore, I'll take you to Blu Jaz & then send you to Malaysia ;)
