About Me

ABOUT ME

I'm nice and easy going :) Well yes usually I do :p

PHILOSOPHY

Discover and experience new things, love creativity, imagination, dreams.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I discovered the CS Meetings in New York, wich was great fun and great friends! I really want to pursue this experience in other places!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have been hosted in NYC, Puerto Rico, each time a wonderfull experience! I hosted a few people in my place in Paris, and participate to a few community meeting. I have been a bit busy the last 2 years, and currently traveling in New Zealand, but motivated to pursue the experience and good vibe when I'll be back home!

Interests

Internet & IT, wich is my job but love it, and all geeky things too :)

Photography + lab (was lab teacher during 2 years)

Traveling, yeah once you begun, it's hard to stop!

Currently very interrested about hiking and living in the wild (probably the reason I'm traveling in New Zealand).

Playing the piano (learn on my own... now would really, really like to learn Jazz, chords and improvisation!)

Bar, party, club and all kind of fun ;)

Sports: tennis (a little bit), snowboard (good level, love it!), thai boxing (to keep in shape), some moutainbiking and of course hiking

Music, Movies, and Books

Ok start with books, I'm used to read a lot of fantasy books, as well classics, RPG novels (still love Dragonlance), long series from Robin Hobb, or GRR Martin (yeah even before it become so famous with the tv show!), Tad Williams, Marion Zimmer Bradley.
Read SF from time to time...
Though recently I have been more interested with classic litterature.

Music, electronic is my favorite, wich cover a large variety of styles: techno, electronica, downtempo, triphop. I like jazz, blues and soul music too.

Movies... lot of them, I have to think about my favorites!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbing the Fujiyama in november, just with my sneakers and hoodie, going through the rocks as the main path was too frosted

Hiking the Blue Moutains rainforest in Australia

Diving in Thailand

All food in China

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm always willing to talk about my interrests. I love to learn from photographers (ane if you know the lab you'll be my best friend!). I'm about to begin salsa, any help appreciated...
If you surf my place, I got a piano, feel free to play. I've more a classical background, but really interrested in jazz, chords and digital plug.
Well and my job iz web development, I know a lot about it, if you need help or just like to exchange about it :)
