About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Meeting openminded and social people with humor and with the heart at the right place !! So keep smiling :)

ABOUT ME

I grew up in Cholet (small city in the west part of France) then moved for my studies in different towns (La rochelle, Angers, Nantes, Poitiers, Laval).
Now I live in this nice city : Rouen
I like travelling, taking pictures, meeting people and sharing good moments with friends. All have children now. So I'm still the good uncle Seb ;)
If you plan to go in Rouen, don't hesitate to contact me. It will be a pleasure to help you and make a sightseeing walk with you :)

PHILOSOPHY

Christopher Colombus said : "We don't go any further than when we don't know where we're going". That's my philosophy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Well, after a twelve-year experience of Couchsurfing I should say that I definitely love this type of travelling. I met very nice people, lived some incredible things which made my travels much more exciting. I also learned a lot about sense of life and how to collaborate with others in order to help them.

Music, Movies, and Books

All these things are pretty important in my life. I enjoy reading a book, seeing a movie or listening a fabulous music because they're means to escape from my living existence, open my mind, get my mood better and increase my objectivity.
Music : Definitely Morcheeba, Ben Harper, Radiohead, Sigur Rós, Girls in Hawaï, John Butler Trio, Björk, Kaleo, Vivaldi, Celtik music or some movie soundtracks.

Movies : my favourite are "the piano", "inception" "Un prophète", "Amadeus", "Romanzo Criminale", "The Big Lebowski", "Psychose", "Edward scissohands", "Gran Torino", "21 grams" and so much...

Books : "Pillars of the Earth", "The Lions of Al-Rassan", "The Perfum", "Marco Polo", "Neverwhere".

What I Can Share with Hosts

I will try to do my best to host you in my comfort home. If I have time (especially during the weekend), it will be a pleasure to visit this pretty city with you or just give some informations if you prefer discover it by yourself.
