ABOUT ME

I am from Brittany. I've studied Illustration and graphic novels at first in Paris, then Angoulême and later in Strasbourg(France). I sing and I play Guitar mainly and also i play Banjo-ukelele in a French Irish band.. Since 2015 i Started to act as well.
I do not drink alcohol but I believe I'm not boring so far. I eat organic food but I'm no vegetarian. never smoked. I used to be fond of the 80's.
I'm can dance breton traditionnal dances. I'm learning lindy hop to push my skills at dancing even more.
I enjoy cooking and cutting vegetables with my japanese kitchen knives.
I have one breton "Bilig" (professional griddle) to make "crêpes" and i'm kind of proud about it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I started the couchsurfing experience in 2008 as i was beginning to travel a lot. I was much more active on the site by then as i was 20 years old and i never settled too long on the same place.
I met a great deal of people across europe mainly whom i kept contact with. I still think that the best way to travel isn't by visiting temples and monuments and so on, but rather by meeting the locals and have a chat.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I nearly died once in a car crash on the mountains above Sarajevo as i was itchikking with a crazy bosnian guy who didn't speak a word of english and was screaming every time his car "bumped" on the road. (it looks more like a pile of rocks than a road) He drove so close to the ravine, i was surprised that he didn't crash already.
It was kind of epic though.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach the guitar and the ukelele obviously. Some irish songs, some western american songs.
