About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Play music and paint, get to know myself and the world.

ABOUT ME

Meet me and let me know what should be written here.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm interested in almost everything and I'd gladly appreciate if you could show me new fields.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I arrived in Tahiti some months ago, but I've been on this site for quite a long time now, made a lot of friends, mostly persons I hosted or met while attending CS meetings.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My CS experiences are pretty various : From some minutes during a meeting to hosting a whole month. I've discovered lots of things by being a part of the Strasbourg CS group and when i'm asked "why don't you use couchsurfing" (because I almost only host) i can only think about replying that CS is not about using and if i'm wrong then I'm using it too, to enjoy, share, meet new people ...

Interests

I play the guitar and the drums, a bit of bass and various "electronic" instruments. I have all these instruments at home, so we surely can jam if it's somethings you like or you just want to try.

I can paint quite a lot when I feel like it, usually not much when I have people around.

In a former life I was a chef, I still can cook.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well, life is quite an adventure ...

Teach, Learn, Share

Cooking
Music
Painting, I don't think I can teach that field but I can tell you how I do it, maybe you could show me things about that.

I'll gladly share my love for various fields and the way they are entangled (Physics, AI, data mining, philosophy, patterns, arts ...)

What I Can Share with Hosts

From now on I'll just accept personal requests, that is, telling me why I should host you, if we have things in common or you think we'll have a good time. Just try to send me something cool and if I can, I'll host you ...
