CURRENT MISSION :

Getting to know Madrid better!

ABOUT

Bonjour à tous !
I am 37 and I come from the very south of France. After a few years teaching literature in my mountains, I have started a musical trip around the world with the idea of learning traditional folk songs. This led to this : YouTube.com/valerianmacrabbit. Then, unexpectedly another 7 months trip in India, and another one in Africa and Latin America. 3 years working as a teacher in Istanbul, then 3 as a diplomatic in Chile and I just settled in Madrid !

I have a small flat in barrio de las letras and can host on the couch on the picture. I am the kind of host who like to spend time with his guests, go out, share genuine talks and games - ideally for 2/3 days. Am gay friendly.

PHILOSOPHY

Life has to be an adventure.

Классная вещь, которую я сделал(-а)

Am very uncautious when it comes to meet wild animals. I could mention snorkeling with a whale or sea lions by myself or biking through a herd of Buffalos in Kenya. Quite dangerous but they had started crossing the road and they were more than 150 !

I think it is all about sharing anecdotes and experiences.
