About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I now live in Clermont-Ferrand (aubière actually, it's the city south of Clermont), city of love, fun and vulcans in the middle of france where I can host again :)

I create amazing, mind blowing & epic concerts around the world... At least I try :)

ABOUT ME

I'm a french trombone player and a fire artist. I'm also quite gifted on a computer and make websites, recording and videos for musicians.

I love to travel, that's actually the main reason why I keep going in music even though sometime it's hard to live on it.

My favorite hobby is playing foosball, I like to cook too, I'm actually quite a good cook (even for a frenchy)
.

oh, and about me physically : I'm 30 years old, 1m78.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Usually when I travel, I'm going to play for an orchestra in an audition. And it's way better to meet some new people than to be alone stressing in an hotel room.

And I'm always very happy to host anyone when ever I can, specially if you are a musician then we can play together :)

Some of my surfers started the tradition of offering me a funny T-shirt when I was hosting them, I think it's a really good idea for a gift when I host you...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Now I have some experiences, I can write something about it :

- I met a guy eating EVERYTHING in the chicken, even the bones!!! How crazy is that???
- I've hosted a girl who slept 17h on the first night (from 8pm till 1pm) !!
- I went kayaking in the middle of alligators with a host.
- I ate some mangos directly from the tree, it's amazing, so good!!!
- I met 2 morse code spies (true story)
- I've seen almost all the best beaches of Florida during a road trip.
- I've played beach volley with pilots of the US airforce.
- I now own so many towels since my surfers tend to forget it, or to give it to me when they can't close their bags anymore.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A tour in china... was pretty incredible, but a little sad to see all those huge inequality over there.
Some really nice concerts also...

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to learn and tell joke from all around the world.
It's also very interesting to discuss point of view from a corner of the planet to an other.

What I Can Share with Hosts

we can share food, music and good minds, insights on the city and hiking around.

If you send me a copied and pasted message (or one looking like) I won't host you. Just mention at least my name and anything personal you've read here :)
