About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Balance my current missions (see below)

ABOUT ME

Offering and sharing the music I play. Being interested about how our society's running, I'd like to find hope, even at a politic scale. So is CouchSurfing a part of it, even far from Economy and Law.
Keeping in touch with all my friend I met elsewhere...

PHILOSOPHY

Alone we are nothing.
Live is short! Do everything great you can !
But
Life is hard ! Play the guitar to keep strengh, keep smiling to feel happy, and finally... be melancholic once a week to understand where you really are.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm thinking about : Into the wild, Cyrano de Bergerac, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, The chapter about The Troglodyte in "Lettres persanes" de Montesquieu...
And MUSIC : a little preference for guitar of course and for electro to get motivated, a big preference for flamenco.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

To see Castellon de la Plana, Spain, from above : an hyperconcentrated 180.000hab city in the middle of a large empty plain.

To ride a bicyle behind my uncle's one during hundred of kilometers, up to 170km per day, when I was 12.

Hiking alone in the Alps by night.

Teach, Learn, Share

Greeaaaaaaaatttttt Idea !
In addition to what I know about languages, I'm very pleased to teach how to play the guitar,
Also I'm always motivated to teach a bit of French History in exchange of a bit of the History of a foreign country, or how people from a foreign country know French History.
- I'd like to play the rythm.
