CURRENT MISSION

living/loving the dream

ABOUT ME

I moved to the sunny south of france a couple of years ago to learn how to make wine. Loved the work and place so much that I'm still here. Best job in the world: working in nature with "friends", finding solutions being creative, using all senses.

I'm a pretty relaxed, openminded guy that likes a good laugh. I prefer to live on the countryside because i like the space, see nature around me and i can have some animals and a garden.

From time to time i need to go into the city to meet people, absorbe some culture and party like it 19999.

I love nice people around a table filled with good food and a few bottles wine, having good conversations or just talking crap.

PHILOSOPHY

Never eat more than you can lift (Miss Piggy)

Pretty openminded (anything is possible; as long as it gives me a laugh)

Less is more,
Better to have one bird in the hand then 10 up the bud,
Green is the new black

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

People can use my spareroom, i'll guide them around and show the wine-making-process. The weekends we can visit some cities nearby.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

A friend of mine arranged a CS host last time she visited me in France and did a citytrip together, it was love on first sight to me. What a nice way to meet new people and see some places from a different perspective.

Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.
