Happy to be still alive in this crazy world!

After a classic life of studying, working, going out in the free time, my girlfriend and I took the road for 560 days in NZ and some countries in Asia.
It is a little bit weird to come back home after all this time in the big outside world. The next page is to build things.

And so here we are, we managed to move/settle together in the South of France, Montpellier last summer.

I consider myself being quite nice in general with people, open minded, respectful, curious. According to a indian hand-reader, I don't say enough "no" , but don't try to abuse of it!

A good short laugh is better than a long sad cry (Is that a nice saying?)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The verb "to share" is probably the most appropriated.

And secretly couch-testing for a private magazine ranked #1 worldwide in the sales of couch.

Interests

Travelling has been one of my main interest for a while now. And to me it means discovering, exploring a country, its nature, its culture but also its people.

Nature

Many interests and as most of us, not enough time to go through everything. To name a few: music (listening and discovering the million of already existing, and I used to play guitar), all kinds of art (but photography and painting as mains), party from time to time (even though I'm in a big decline), smiling and try to give the smile to people who already forgot about it.

Music, Movies, and Books

MUSIC: A bit of everything according to the daily mood : Rock'n'Roll and other genres, World, Electronic, Jazz, Blues, HipHop, not much into classical music. I'm not a "fan" of one band in particular (they won't probably be any fan of me anyway).

MOVIES: I like to find a GOOD movie, that brings emotion or a reflexion.

BOOKS: I'm recently becoming a reader level 1. A bit of Philosophy, Classics, Interesting reading mainly (I try)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Just one? hmm... If just one, being alive today is already pretty great.

Others that I consider amazing (we all have different degrees of amazingness after all): Hitchhiking 4 months around New Zealand (and meeting its wonderful people), Cycling a 1000kms in south Vietnam, Trekking 8 days in the Anapurna.

If others "classic": Bungy Jumping, Skydiving, Music Festivals every summer, dealing some samples of cereals with effeiltower sellers in Paris, getting my face smashed on the front of a car parked after some gymnastic.

Teach, Learn, Share

TEACH: All what I can and that you wish to learn from me. It's not said that I'm a great teacher but I don't think that CS is only about teaching after all.

LEARN: All what you have to teach, I'm kin to learn more about nature, agriculture, coffee, wine, music, litterature, cinema, culture in general, travelling and YOU

SHARE: Happiness, Time, Experiences, Travelling experiences

What I Can Share with Hosts

There we are, settled with my girlfriend Linda (you can find her profile as well) so able for the first time to host for real, in our "home-made couch"!!

If we're available, we can also show you a bit around (but it's not so hard to discover Montpellier), share a nice meal, a drink, a concert..

After all, it also depends what you're up to.
