CURRENT MISSION

"Strive to recover the innocence of eye you had in childhood." (Ferlinghetti)

ABOUT ME

I'm an introvert, not very demonstrative : it can be bliss inside me but outside, you'll just see a polite smile. I'm bad at taking compliments. I have difficulties to speak about myself, but I try to cure myself! I'm more a listener than a storyteller, but you can make me talk if you ask me questions! I like to ramble about works of fiction a lot though (books, films, records).
I am usually quite cheerful but dreamy too. I'm quite scatterbrain...

What I love about drawing is that it allows you to see what is around you as it really is. We are so blind with conventions. It's good to get rid of them, at least visually. (I don't know if it makes sense, haha!)

PHILOSOPHY

42 is the answer to Life, the Universe and Everything! ;)

More seriously : "Be naive, non-cynical, as if you had just landed on earth, astonished by what you have fallen upon" (Ferlinghetti, Poetry as Insurgent Art - Everything is in this book!)

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Great experience as a surfer in Amsterdam and Alkmaar!
Hosted once in Cholet which was fun too because I thought nobody would want to visit Cholet!! (+ a few days before I left the town). I want to host more when I have my own place and settle for more than three months...

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I saw a complete circle rainbow once. And a humingbird.
I met a fox in a street at night in London and it came to smell my hand <3.
I dyed my hair green.
