About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Faire une tournée mondiale avec mon groupe !

ABOUT ME

I'm a geek somehow, but I spend much time with my friends playing music, playing music live actually. I haven't got my driving license yet so I travel by other means.
I guess I'm a nice person, never looking for trouble, politically non-engaged. I make jokes on everything (even the worst) but nothing serious behind the words. I think I'm open-minded enough to be a decent person to talk to, but YOU decide ! XD

Oh and I'm a beardy guy who wears glasses, if that matters. Sorry for the lack of pics, I'm working on it... :/

I changed my english level into "expert", but I'm just used to speak american english, I'm comfortable with this language but I obviously miss some specific vocabulary.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Help travelers out, see the human being in the people I meet, find fun, get a home when I travel abroad. Plain and simple right ?

Interests

I love almost all kinds of music styles, you can find my youtube channel (yt.com/headminerve) and check out covers I made if you like.
I spend (or spent) time on videogames, tvshows, movies, recording and listening music, etc... I believe people of my generation are split in 2 categories : the ones close to new technologies and the others. Many of my friends are in the 2nd category and I love them for that. They offer me time to explore magnificient french regions, to taste all sorts of meals, so it makes me enjoy myself when I comeback home and pathetically drown into my couch and watch videos ! :p

I had my first couchsurfing experience in the United States on May 2012, a great month in my life, for sure ! :D

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I lived a few great moments on stage ! Either it was in front of a lot of people and their amazing full reactivity, or it was just small concerts with a warm and reassuring atmosphere... I won't go into further details, too long to explain. :)

Over here In France, I recently visited the Dordogne, south west region (Périgueux). Caverns (well-known Lascaux, among thousands of other ones), little falls, troglodytic homes (dug into the rocks), beautiful architecture overall ! There's so much to see in this region...

And of course, I spent great times in the US, EVERY single guy who received me was interesting, nice and creditable for hosting.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach singing bases, MAO bases (music by computer), guitar and more, french language (or subtilities, minds...).
I would like to learn many languages in order to translate texts I write (and I sing then). Meet people to learn about their countries. Gotta learn Czech for next summer !
And I'd like to organize tour dates, in North America, East Asia, West Asia, Africa, well, all around the world ! :D
