About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Making the world a beautiful place, making friends and enjoying every little bit of existence. Learn to be happy by finding insight in others.

ABOUT ME

Switching between calm and explosive moments, but always wild enough to seek new things to live and discover.
I love building, fixing, upgrading and polishing things. Learning new skills is kind of a passion.
I've got a clear tendency to test and push my limits. If you have some weird/strange/extreme behaviour you'd be glad to share, go ahead and be my guest: I'd love to share with all due respect.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is a playground for your soul, seek happiness in everything.
If you're offered to do something new, try it, no matter what. It WILL be better than doing nothing.
Never be an ass in any situation.
Always remember that it's your last life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

It's always a pleasure to share a bit of our house.
We got beer, board games and we can share some moments too : archery, climbing, yoga, slacklining, ...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Filled with unique and outstanding people. Can't wait to see more !

Interests

I tend to be passionnate about anything that proove to be challenging.
Yep, you guessed it : pretty anything :)
The tough part is to choose some and to set the rest aside, but choosing is pretty interesting and challenging too.

Music, Movies, and Books

jazz, blues, classic rock, metal, dark wave, chipmusic, classical, rockabilly, psy-rock, post roc, blues, and many more. My vinyl player is very important to me. It is only allergic to empty pop love songs and angry street rap.
Would I like your music ? If there's a vinyl of it, it should be okay :)

As movies, i'd say "Big Lebowsky", "Morse", "Nosferatu", "evil dead", "back to the future" trilogy, "into the wild", "de rouille et d'os", "incendies", "the fountain", "Faster pussycat kill kill!", "rear window", "the return of the killer tomatoes", "time crimes", "inception",... there's too much, really.

I don't read so much books. Let'say Dune, Bernard Werber, Ken Follet, Robin Hobb.
But I do like phylosophers like Platon, Nietzsche, Kierkegaard, Camus, Marx for all those fantastic questions and answers they found around them.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Creating a LARP association and running for 10+ years (Damn it, i feel so old just now)
Building a english longbow from scratch.
Discovering Couchsurfing, traveling and meeting extraordinary people.
Quitting my job to travel ... then finding a new online job to travel a bit more.

Teach, Learn, Share

How about modern board games and beer ? Maybe Yoga and archery then ?
a little slacklining ?
Seriously i LOVE teaching, pick your choice.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I like to fix things : electricity, furniture, bikes, cars, ... and I like to help and feel useful.

Countries I’ve Visited

France, Germany, Iceland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Portugal, Romania, Spain, United Kingdom

Countries I’ve Lived In
