I'm father of three children (almost adults in fact), and it's my elder daughter who introduced me to couchsurfing.
Went through several studies : engineering, geophysics, geology and finally music.
Actually music teacher.
Pragmatic, open-minded but not open to all, and curious.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Simple reason : I like travelling a lot, for meeting new people, new minds, and if possible, travelling cheap.

Interests

Music, Arts, Science, Travelling, Understand how people live, Sports (actually especially badminton), Hiking and getting surprised.

Music, Movies, and Books

No particular favorite, but a lot of important, or touching ...
As a youngster : for instance The seawolf (Jack London). The plague (La peste) by Albert Camus ... and actually no time for reading.
All sort of music in lots of styles : Brahms (trios) , Schubert and Schumann Lieder, Queen, Janis Joplin, Jacques Brel, Silvia Perez Cruz ... (not exhaustif)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I forgot (and lost) my backpack in a railwaystation in Sicilia.
