Couch Information


Couch Available: Coffee or a drink

I have no couch where you can crash at the moment. I feel definitely sorry about that. As soon as I find a place with a proper couch, I will let you know ;p

See you, maybe for a coffee or a "tea",

Personal Description

I live in Central London, Vauxhall, in quite a huge flat. As I have just arrived, I am waiting to know better my flatmates before telling them : "Guess what ? Tonight, we host someone I don't even know !!"

About me, I will keep it short : I am very interested on trying new things, new cultures. In a few words, I love learning.

How I Participate in CS

Share what I have is the way I am participating. When you give something, it's done, you did it because you wanted to give. So please don't talk about giving back.

CouchSurfing Experience

I used to be a newbie. I only had a few experience, but these experiences opened my mind as widely as I couldn't have imagined.

Interests

- Languages
- Magic tricks, Juggling
- Guitar
- Sports

Philosophy

I live my life to learn as much as I can.
So that I will be able to be the best grandfather in the World !!! :-)

Music, Movies, Books

Best Movie : "The Usual Suspects" from "Bryan Singer"
Best Music : "Let go" from "Frou Frou"
Best Book : "When I was 5, I killed myself" (also published as Burt) (in French, Quand j'avais 5ans, je m'ai tué) - from Edward Burt

Types of People I enjoy

Very open-minded people, with a good personality.

Teach, Learn, Share

Can teach:
- languages
- magic tricks
- guitar
- juggling (balls, clubs, monocycle...etc)

Would like to learn:
- Very rare things such like, for example, yoga :-)
- Salsa and other dances

One Amazing Thing I've Seen or Done

There is a restaurant in Paris, very rare. It's called "in the dark". You are guided by a blind waiter or waitress. Everything is in the dark. You have to eat in the dark. It was very funny (because after 5 minutes to try finding your fork, you decide to use your fingers ;p ), and very interesting, because, as you don't know what it looks like, you have to experience it differently, with the taste, and smell.

It's also funny because, you will meet a lot of people in the same table, talking and laughing with them. In every other restaurant, you come with some people, and you only speak with them.

Opinion on the CouchSurfing.org Project

CouchSurfing.com is one step to a different society, where people can help other people. I wish the society can be turned into a place where money is an exchange, and where the best people are people sharing the most.

I've just spent two fantastic days in London and it's thanks to David (he's definitely a good host) and the beautiful weather. We had a delicious barbecue at his place and then went to the world record biggest picnic the next day.
He's a talented juggler and I'm happy he taught me a few tricks.

It was great talking to David, a very nice, chatty, genuine guy. He likes cider too which is a plus. Shame you couldn't make it to my curry event but I am sure there will be further opportunities to share some good French wine and talk about queueing!

David is a really friendly guy and he always makes me laugh. I am still sorry about my bad bagel shop recommendations, I will do better next time (if you ever trust me again as an authority on english food!)

Don´t believe him- I was probably so lovely because being around someone like David makes the whole hosting experience a real pleasure, so there is no merit in my performance.

David is wonderful: kind, attentive and interesting. Be careful with him: he will insist in taking you out for dinner and there will be no point in attempting to share the bill, he will say he doesn´t need sheets because he can just sleep directly on top of the couch, and he will tiptoe around your place as in eternal debt with his host... But you should give him sheets and much more, because that is what he deserves.

David and Nicolas were fantastic hosts. This was our first time CSing, and we were very pleased with our experience. They went out of their way to make us feel welcome, took us to meet their wonderful friends and made sure our time in Paris was great. Can't wait to have REAL pancakes with you guys in Canada!
