About Me

CURRENT MISSION

- going on travelling, meeting inspiring people, experimenting new aventures that make lire so exciting !
- Make a movie
- Learn how to make things myself to reduce waste and rise my freedom

ABOUT ME

Open-minded, friendly, sensible, with an adventurous mind, I'm found of Life surprises, amazing situations, travelling everywhere, discovering new people and places, searching means to improve the practices about the environmental and social issues.

I've made some reports about such issues during some of my trips, as I enjoy sharing my discoveries by writing and pictures.

As an optimistic person, I wake up smiling every morning. Although a little bit dreamy... I'm not really an utopist: Life is for me the opportunity to carry out one's dreams (instead of dreaming one's life ; )

PHILOSOPHY

I'm don't really know how to say it in english, but it would be something like:
Let's have big dreams, so that we won't loose them while trying to reach them...!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I never miss an opportunity to recommend CS, to meet CSers everywhere I go, and of course, to welcome travellers each time it's possible (from CS or other networks).

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted some cool guys, and I enjoyed taking time to show them my city indeed!
I've been so nicely welcomed in various countries... for sure I'll do again!

Music, Movies, and Books

Adventurous movies, or the ones that make you think a lot about how life goes, like: Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, The aquatic life, Into the wild, Usual suspects, Motorcycle Diaries (Walter Salles),...
Books: this french novel turned me into a traveller for ever: 'Un été américain'. I also love Murakami novels (like 'Kafka sur le rivage' in french)...
Music: found of Buika (flamenco great voice) and Rodrigo y Gabriela, I also like mostly mixed styles, as Keziah Jones does (funk + jazz...).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

7 months traveling ! So great!!
And 1 month travelling by bike this Summer (Spain) after 1 month in french mountains last year :-))

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach you some french, some communication and Graphic design skills, knowledge about sustainable development and city planning...

You may teach me some words of yours (spanish, english), songs, cooking, guitar... ; )

But what I expect overall is sharing about cultures, experiences of life, travels, knowledge, for example about permaculture and local cooking.
