About Me

I am calm and friendly. I like to speak with people I meet, but also to listen to people. I'll do anything I can do for you as long as you treat me as a friend. In fact, if you come, I won't treat you as a guest : I will treat you as an old friend just stoping by. If you host me, I'll try to act like this towards you. There is not greater thing to miss in life than a good friend, and one can really need one when one is traveling.

Right now I'm working on my first film, I'm close to be done with the preparations and soon to be ready to film ! Who knows ? I might become an important filmmaker one day...! But until than I work in bars, festivals, cinemas around Paris to make a living. I guess I like it become it's a bit like documentary filmmaking : a lot of preparation, a lot of imagination, and a lot of talking ! I just love people, meeting them, making new relations. I'm a very social guy.

So much things to say and so few lines ! I prefer to think that, if we have to meet, we will meet and than we will for sure have lots of things to share and we will get to know each other better.

Oh, and I'm a great party partner, you'll see.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To help people when they're travelling, to be helped when I travel.

Also one host told me once : "Don't worry, what I'm giving you someone else will give back to me". I guess this is how I'm functionning myself. Don't ask me much, I'll just give you everything !

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Dress up like a clown to tell people in the streets I love them when we had terrorist events in Paris

Teach, Learn, Share

I know how to make very good cocktails, soups and vegeterian dishes, I used to run a cineclub so I can surely help you to find a movie to watch on the night you'll be back home - also I'm a very good event organiser : talking circles, concerts, exhibition... So I can share my experience about that !

I make movies about people. I guess I'm trying to love everyone as much as possible, because I just love what people have to say, to share, to give and how they can just take you by the heart sometimes. Maybe this is the best thing I can share&teach.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer warm food, clothes, warm bed, happiness and may be some wisdom if I received from other people.
