About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Make it to the america's on a sailboat ! and keep smiling !

ABOUT ME

Trying to make my life a nice little journey through this crazy reality we're all taking part in !

Having a nice little job (roots bread-baking/goat cheese making suits me so far), some friends to spend my time with and going around the smallest villages around the world on big trips (Travelled 3 years total, hitch-hiking to the most remote villages of africa, middle-east, asia, oceania looking for farmers and sheperds to live with) has been a good occupation :)

Recently, i've started sharing the wisdom i learnt from small farmers around the world through a multimedia travelogue i show and tell in schools, cafes, and venues around france !

PHILOSOPHY

Listen to your heart more than your head, live like you'll die tomorrow, be honest to yourself !

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have to admit i've only been surfing !!!
But it's not my fault ! I've been living in a city nobody visits for just too long and i'm travelling too much !
I'll get my revenge though !

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfed just so many times, with so many nice people that made my travels so much easier...

Interests

Almost anything !

  • cheese
  • baking
  • traveling
  • hiking
  • surfing
  • hitchhiking

Music, Movies, and Books

music : trip hop, electro-dub and dub-reaggae at the moment, but mostly anything done sincerely !
Movies : i just like too many of them...
Books: let's say the alchemist worked on me... and i loved "la horde du contrevent" I can spend nights reading dark fantasy as well...
My bible is the tao, but i like eckhart tolle's message as well :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Spent two weeks in the cameroonese rainforest with pygmies but still, two weeks watching crazy stuff on internet seating on my sofa is nice also :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a bit about hitch-hiking through the world and little tricks to meet villagers from remote places almost anywhere.

I know a bit about making bread like our ancestors did, and i've read a lot about spirituality but that's not been true recently...

What I Can Share with Hosts

A place to sleep at and hot shower at least, plans to go out and/or to learn about alternative lifestyle around le mans (autonomous farming, permaculture ect...)
