About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to walk the world

PHILOSOPHY

Couldn't live without learning new things, and teaching as well. This exchange of knowledge is the best gift you could give and recieve from someone : it always makes you growing up in the two ways.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Even if I don't have my own house, I will be glad to host people and show them all the places I love around (don't worry all my family is glad too, haha).

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first couchsurfing experience was in Scotland. I've been hosted by 3 differents couchsurfers in Edinburgh, Fort William and near Stonehaven. I discovered then a world of sharing, fun and nice people... I'm glad to be part of it now.

Interests

I studied History at university for 4 years. I really love old stories, the past things and learning the way Humanity took to bring us where we are now.

My own interest yet is reading books. I always have one in my bag! I read lots of kind of books : novels, essays, documentaries, comics. But I'm fond of historic novels (a way to bound two of my passions).

I couldn't live without music too : I play the saxophone (alto) and I started learning guitar one year ago; I use to play the piano when I was younger as well.
I wish I could learn how to play bagpipe !

I love the mountains, hiking, lakes (and lochs), rivers, green hills, forests and wild camping.

Music, Movies, and Books

Some movies I like :
Little Miss Sunshine, Moulin Rouge!, The Thin Red Line, Juno, Away We Go, V for Vendetta, Lord Of War, Pride And Prejudices, Black Swan, The Truman Show, The Indiana Jones Trilogy, Love Actually, Into The Wild, Milk, Once Upon A Time in America.

Music : lots.
Classical (Beethoven, Chopin, Tchaicovski and Bach are my favorites composers),
Pop-Rock ( RHCP, Oasis, Muse, Phantom Planet, The Beatles, Coldplay, Jason Mraz, Jack Johnson, Alela Diane ...)
World music and movies soundtracks.

Books : couldn't make a list here, there are too many booksIi like and these profile could become quite boring haha.
So, just one : "The Giver" of Lois Lowry.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Went to a concert of Coldplay (Viva la Vida tour) and was just in front of the stage... This is a memory I want to keep for ever. A pure communion between the band and the public.

Watching a see of clouds at the top of a mountain pic, in the Pyrennes.

Wild kangaroos in Australia.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach : read music sheets, some easy tabs on guitar, french langage and kitchen.

Would like to learn : german langage, other ways to cook, ski, ride a horse.

I like sharing the books i read : talking about them, give advices to people who doen't know which one read.
Same things for music : when I meet people, I enjoy asking them a cd of their favorites songs and give back one of mine.
