Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Keeping my couch as open as I can ! Not so easy, I always want my host to come in good conditions that's why don't be suprised if I don't answer positively. But you can always ask me for last minute requests.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Spending time with friends in bordeaux moslty. I usually surfcouch at my best friend's, that the way I can see him most. It's so great ! And I’ve done a great trip through East Europe in 2010, been hosted by couchsurfers all over, that’s was awesome!
Interests
MUSIC - Music is my medecine. I listen to music everyday! I like many styles of music (trip-hop, indie rock, reggae, jazz…) I like to go on festivals in the summer, been recently to DURASSIC 2022, was great!
THEATRE - I like the unmainstream shows. I think there is more to learn from underground’s scene.
CINEMA - Mostly Independant american cinema (Tarantino, Coen's, Jarmush) and comedies.
HOBBIES - graphics arts & drawing - my beloved jobs ! And I write novels too for pleasure. Also quality diners with good wines & cheeses (of course cause I'm french!)
READING - History, Geography, Geopolitics, Human Sciences. And thrillers for pleasure. I don't like much politics, but we can talk about, no problem.

Music, Movies, and Books
My favorite movies ever : the Back to the Future trilogy (initially called the man coming from Pluto :-) ; Groundhog Day, Jackie Brown, Billy Wilder’s The Appartment ; Christopher's Nolan's Memento, The man with the Harmonica ; Once upon a time in America and some others.
Kind of music I like : any, if it's please everyone in the place. I mainly listen to Trip-Hop (DLoaw, Hugo Kant, Boogie Belgique), Independant Rock (Interpol, Bloc Party, Myassa), Hip-Hop (Beastie Boys, Dr Dre), Soul, Funk, Cumbia… The list is long.
The Books I prefered : Salem by Stephen King, maybe my best thrill reading a book ! A Confederacy of Dunces by J.K Toole cause it's so so funny ; The pillars of the earth by Ken Follett (a story in the middle-age in Europe of a monk who wanted to build a Cathedral... large book, more than 1000 pages, and Diaros de bicycletta by Enersto Che Guevara (I enjoy very much the movie too with Gabriel Garca Bernal).
TV : TV is only bullshit. What the point of watching bullshit and get brainsucked for life ? I threw my TV 4 years ago now.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
• Some huge jumps in snowboard, over 10 meters long and 3 or 4 high.
I'm still alive... and healthy !!
• Been to Amazonia : did not met any anaconda... that's why I'm still alive. It was a REAL aventure !
• Opened my house to couchsurfing : I never be dissapionted by you girls and guys since, you'll be welcome to my place in good conditions if I’m able to host at this time.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach you some cooking recipies!
What I Can Share with Hosts
Talking about Life, I'm an artist so I hope we will share good time around a glass of vine. It's an art of living and I hope I can do that for a while.. I'm happy too when I learn news words in foreign languages, what I expect from you is to deliver a little of your culture... and I'll do the same in exchange !!!
