Environmentalist, musician, dreamer & vagabond.

Hobbies 🙌🏻 : hiking and all sorts of mountain sports, discovering nature, observing the stars, learning about history and other cultures…

Music 🎼 : I sing, play guitar, mandolin, harmonica, and go to concerts. Feel free to share your classics with me (:

Personality 🧐 : People often find me super spacey and offbeat, and that’s true. The thing is, I do not agree with the consumerist and arrogant aspects of the modern world, so I just refuse to have those tendencies in my life, plain and simple.
I value independence, freedom of opinion and strict ethical values above all.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

🌍 🌎 🌏 Traveling
🏡 🛏️ 🥘 Hosting (unavailable for the moment unfortunately)
🤝Meeting new people

Believing that we can create a safer, healthier and more peaceful world thanks to CouchSurfing may be a bit naive, but I do not care, I’m all for it. Yes, I am well aware the world we know is facing a grim direction : global warming, wars, rise of authoritarianism, rise of individualism, unregulated nightmarish capitalism. This is the VERY reason we have to act AGAINST those tendencies.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach to others how to play harmonica 🪗 , guitar 🎸 and how to recognize the stars in the night sky ✨

I’d like to improve my guitar, singing and harmonica skills and/or anything you would share with me. I like learning to cook new dishes as well 👨‍🍳 📈

I like all kinds of foods, except the over industrial/processed ones….

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share stories, music, dishes... I like to share experiences with people in general 🤝🏻

I don't drink alcohol neither do I smoke 🚬🍷🙅🏼‍♂️

I do not tolerate any kind of smoking near me, weather it’s tobacco, marijuana, vape or whatever 🚭. Same goes for drunkenness, I don’t tolerate it. I’m even less tolerant with ANY other kind of drug.
