About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Understanding the world by discovering it (that includes meeting, talking, travelling, tasting, watching...)

ABOUT ME

I'm a 29 year old French.
I realized 10 years ago that being a cinematographer just like this doesn't happen easily. I also realised that I needed to learn life.
So it took me one year to decide, but I eventualy stop trying and started acting. I am the motor of my life now.
This is why I decided that for the next few years I will do the 2 things I love the most inthe world: travelling and sharing my experiences at home through films, food, writings etc...
And when I am not doing that, well, I am still the same, but jut laying low... :)

PHILOSOPHY

Start by changing in you what you want to see changed around you.

I love to share and debate, and I am the kind of person who is constantly questioning his point of view, because I don't want to be a douchebag!

Yeah I think a lot

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I offer a couch. I think that is the point.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I lived in one of Paris suburbs for 2 years and it was normal for me to host people as much as they needed at home. People from everywhere, France of course, but also, Italia, USA, Sweden. But when I was traveling myself I found that being hosted is truly the best way to travel. And share.

Music, Movies, and Books

Children of Men is the one I appreciate the most of all the movies that I love.

Basically everything that has rhythm. And don't... I'm very open musically and think it is one of the best way to exchange.

Paroles de Jacques Prévert,

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I lived 29 years. And that is itself truly amazing in this day and age ...

More seriously, Mt Kilimandjaro was my hardest achievement, and getting a Bachelor while travelling come as a close second.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love cooking food and eating it. Tasting new stuff and being able to reproduce it.

I am a filmer/photographer, painter, singer, with only one follower: my mom. But that is enough so far.

I learn langages and love to teach them.

What I Can Share with Hosts

4 : 20 pm
Good cuisine.
Tips on the city I guess.
A big house in the middle of nowhere. This is the hardcore french countryside with milk producers nearby, a traditional baker in the village and ... well that is about it for human presence. In here nature is the queen and we love to respect that. We live in an old farm with my mom and depending on the time of year a few guests. There is always an extra bedroom with queen size bed for you if needed though. And you will be welcome.
