CURRENT MISSION

Seize the day.

ABOUT ME

I think they'd say I am a sociable person who likes devoting time to his friends and his kids (I am a father of 3).

PHILOSOPHY

Quite easy going and I try to face things with a positive mind and tell myself that we'll sort it out one way or the other. That's what I tell the kids as well.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have a little CS experience mostly hosting people but it is more difficult to get hosted especially when you travel with kids. I have more experience in hosting people outside CS and for a long time like backpackers met at my local train station ... that was cool and since i love travelling, people usually return the favour even if they're different in different countries. That's how it works, I guess.

Interests

I really enjoy music, going to concerts as well as playing with my band. It's quite demanding to organise gigs around town and further up. I'm also quite busy with my children (it's a full time job!). I am keen on reading, mainly detective stories which I fancy very much. Going out and seeing my friends as well as travelling on my own or with the kids is always a good laugh. We've visited France all over the place of course, but we also went to Canada and the UK several times and visited Poland, Italy, Germany, Portugal. Awesome experience. The kids love travelling too.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I guess it is to have brought a mere contribution and helped some asylum seekers who needed help to get their status recognised and be allowed to live in France and eventually become French citizens. That was a couple of years ago. They now live peacefully and have a family. Besides,I'm always very impressed and admirative when people fight for justice and freedom throughout the world.
