Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When I am surfing at other people's house, I try to leave it better than when I arrived. And I am also always willing to cook for my hosts.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I stayed at a few people's house, especially on my way to Mexico, last year. More recently I have been hosted in a few places in the United States.

Interests

Life, people and things.
By the way, bicycle are living creatures. Musical instruments too.

Being here and now. Enjoying every moment I live. Being true and transparent. And finding people to share with.

Smiling, swimming, biking, hiking.
Building things, building links.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have been part of a horse caravan in Mexico during 4 months. We where traveling by horse and making music and circus shows to sustain ourselves.

Worked as a bicycle mover.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn to be a better person.

I am also trying to learn to walk on hands, to juggle, to spin fire, to do acro-balance, to air dance on silks, to walk on stilts, to walk on a rope, to be a clown, on any other circus skills. I know a bit about most of those, and I could probably show you a few tricks, as I am also always open to learn more about those infinite arts.

I know a good part in bicycle mechanics, and it's always a pleasure to help. I would really like to learn about welding, so I could do trailers, do major repairs on bikes and maybe one day build my own frame.

In bursts, I could show you some things in photography, cooking, music, physics, horses.
And I would like to learn about sailboats, baking, parkour, construction, computer programming or anything interesting you could show me.
