CURRENT MISSION

To use my time. 'It's always later than you think!' - Baudelaire

ABOUT ME

I'm easy to get along with, patient, a good listener, but I become more and more sarcastic the more you get to know me. I don't care too much for "things" considering that I'm a westerner: just my guitar, my climbing equipment, books and CDs. I like all sorts of humor, debating and serious discussion, and music music climbing and more music.

PHILOSOPHY

Wouldn't fit into this little box (might not even fit into words...)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At the moment, I live with a French family while I teach here, so I can't really offer up their couch. I travel in hopes that I will glimpse the world through another culture's eyes.

Interests

Conversation, language, books, music (you know how sometimes when you're listening you get the chills because it's that good and you either want to laugh or cry, but you can't tell which because it's all the same?), climbing and other sports (practicing and watching), singing, hiking, politics, drinks, coffee, breakfast, parler en français, and lots of other stuff too.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

J'avais le cul dans le vide à 100 mètres!

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach you some English. After all, it is my job... I could also teach you a few guitar chords. I hope to learn about you and your culture! Je veux bien se parler en français.
