About Me

CURRENT MISSION
I will be in London to visit a friend, watch art exhibitions, and make art. Also I would be happy to meet with new people. I am sorry but I am allergic with cats and all kinds of pets... I cannot stay at your home if you have pets.

ABOUT ME
I live in a small town in Normandy with my 11 years old son, my girlfriend and her 16 years old son. I work as an art teacher in pre-high school. I create paintings, installations, and I also keen of distributing blank papers in the streets to observe people's reactions! I listened a lot of indie rock music when I was young, but now I am also fond of classical music. I sing some Beethoven and Schuman's lieders.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have a small experience with Couchsurfing. I didn't connected here for long! I had a good experience with Hospitality Club in 2007(Kassel Documenta), and two times with CouchSurfing in France.
Now I live in a confortable house and I will be able to host you!

Interests

I practice lyrical singing, guitar and drums. I love wild nature and gardening. I paint figurative and abstract and my dream would be to make my living as an artist.
