About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Land surfing, meeting people, sharing music, being curious.

ABOUT ME

Difficult to write sth oneself... I'd say I'm curious and open-minded. I love travelling through new landscapes, meeting nice people and listening to exotic languages.
My first passion and present occupation is playing music (slide trombone & tenor horn player), but i also intermittently work as an architect and urban planner.
I live in a house in Rennes with 3 housemates who are also professional musicians.

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoy a sustainable present.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I discovered CS through my friends' hosting and surfing experiences. As i fully like and support the concept of CS, i created my own profile.
I do both hosting and surfing... Actually I'd say i usually host more often than i surf, because i confess i rarely anticipate my trips enough to make contacts with couchsurfers in advance, as i deeply love improvising my travels...
Each time i hosted or surfed, i met very nice and interesting people. So do not hesitate to contact me.
