CURRENT MISSION

Do what I want, not what I'm supposed to do...

ABOUT ME

We left Bordeaux and headed back to my hometown, Toulouse, in 2012. It takes me a while each time to update my info AND I do not use my old email address that much. I thus apologize to all of you who have tried to contact me and did not get a reply. I will try and be more in touch with my messages.

I left Italy in June 2010 to go back to my homeland: France. I now live in Sainte-Helene, 25k from Bordeaux, in the south-west of France. Our place is 25k far from Bordeaux city center and 25k far from the ocean (Lacanau-océan, a famous spot for surfers).

I left Toulouse, France in 2004 and moved to Italy where I still live today. I like meeting new people (do I really have to write that??? I suppose we -anyone who signs up- all do!), and share time and goods with others.

PHILOSOPHY

Everybody's innocent until proven guilty.
Live and let live.
Encourage people to do the kind of stuff others tell you not to do...
You choose your friends, not your family.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Several times, as a host. I like that.

Interests

I love travelling, especially on a motorbike, going to the Isle of Man TT, playing guitar (though I'm not a very good player), learning foreign bad words, and eventually languages, cooking, playing to be a mechanic, good food (from anywhere in the world) and drinks (esp. beer and wine), reading, writing, movies, snowboarding, meeting new people, Ducati motorbikes, the sound of single and twin 4-stroke engines, watching rugby games, enjoy a 4-hour meal on a terrace on a summer night with loads of wine and a bunch of friends, drinking Guinness in Ireland, coffee in Italy, eating cheese in France, oversize burgers in the US, going to St-Paddy's weekend, going to Ireland, having Irish stew... I'll let you know if I think about anything else!
