About Me

CURRENT MISSION

find if something like a mission really exists

ABOUT ME

When I registered on CS I wrote "I like to feel the wind when I take my bike to go to the office." Then I left the office and 2 years ago started the long journey I was thinking about when I was "feeling the wind". And it was the right thing to do.
For the CV part, I studied philosophy, was a chief editor of a institutional magazine, and before freelance journalist and photographer, which I am again.
Taking photos, making short films, writing, discover new countries, meet people, hiking...these are my new occupations.

PHILOSOPHY

I probably prefer the questions to the answers and if someone has the answers, I'd really like to meet him.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I registered in 2011, I wrote "2 days ago, a marmot was running just in front of me in the French central mountains. And few weeks ago, I was in the most incredibly boring meeting you could imagine".
Since, I saw many marmots and many other fantastic things. But I'm sure the meeting was really incredibly boring. (don't really know if it's positive...)

Teach, Learn, Share

I taught communication to professionals and non professionals, I can teach the bases of journalism and photography. I can help in gardening affairs and wood chopping and many different things.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook French recipes, help with computer, play rugby or any sport...
