About Me

CURRENTLY:

Traveling to Indonesia to surf :)

ABOUT ME

I am always asking myself what I really want do in my life.. And it is always the same answer, be free!
I was born in Paris, France but spent most of my life in England.
I really like to socialise, go out, meet people, relax, eat and cook!
I can also be very independent when I need to be.
A kind-hearted guy, loving everything that is new and somehow different, searching for innovations and new horizons, trying to open new doors and enter new territories. I think I'm sincere, with integrity and just a nice and funny guy,

** Se você só fala português, não é problema!**

PHILOSOPHY

"The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes" - Marcel Proust

"The man who makes everything that leads to happiness depend upon himself, and not upon other men, has adopted the very best plan for living happily. This is the man of moderation, the man of manly character and of wisdom." Plato

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

As of now, I am on the road, so I don't have a couch for you to crash. However, when I am at "home" I can host you and show you around the very beautiful places that you can find in and around Marseilles.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It has been just AMAZING! awesome! superb! wonderful! life changing experiences! Why can't all people in life be like CouchSurfers? :)

Interests

In no particular order: spending time with friends, Walking, languages, painting/drawing, cooking, being outdoors, traveling, playing sports, being around family, exercising ..Leave it at that for now :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Films that provoke thought and evoke emotions.

Music that makes you bop your head to a beat, sing at the top of your voice, dance like a crazy loon or sink into your own thoughts.

Books that make me think, laugh.. or even cry!
