Hi everybody, welcome in Bordeaux !

⚠️⚠️⚠️Please, read my home's rules before sending a request.

I've been living in Bordeaux since i was born.

I'm married with Stéphanie. We would appreciate that you address your request to both of us.

We have a cat, Circé, so if you have any allergy, maybe our house is not the good place to stay.

I am social worker and actor.
For now, I'm managing a social worker team. I am also involved in a theater company and we currently have 2 plays that we perform.

I think I am easy going, talkative and have a good sens of humor.

One of my philosophy is : choosing is renouncing. Try to live both as much as it is possible.
Another one : don't expect anything from people or life, you won't never be disappointed and will always have a good surprise.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Althrough my travels, i have seen that meeting people is the thing which change one trip into an experience.
So I want to meet people in my travel and give it back as a host.

It is also a good way to practice my English and improve it.

Interests

I am passionate with theater, writting, directing, acting and obviously watching. I go often to cinema as well.

Traveling is my other oxygen bubble.

Stéphanie and I are involved in the reduction of our ecological print. We are not perfect at all (we keep travelling by flight, going to supermarket...) but we are in progress. We make our own product ( hygienic and for the house), we reduce plastic, meat and try to go more often in local market and producer. We keep the water from the shower to the toilet, composting...
We are very interested by sharing tips with our guests/hosts.

In 2021, I started to practice chamanism. It is another way to travel!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A road trip in New Zealand which ended with an amazing Christmas party with 70 people from all over the world during 3 days. A true CS Experience
Seeing how a word printed in my laptop screen become a play, personified by an actor and appreciated by audience.

Teach, Learn, Share

If i am acting during your stay in my place, you are very welcome to come.
I can also help people who wants to learn French as I am aware to be corrected in my English mistakes.

I am aware to test everything about your point of interest or way of life. Meet someone include his habits. I am curious to get outside my comfort zone.

I want to share talks, stories about your place, your culture, may be a meal...
Give you some tips about Bordeaux, do nice things as a local.
