About Me

Hi there! 35 year old guy living in Paris here. I'm not traveling as much as back in the old days, but doesn't mean I'm not trying to keep adventures in my life :-)
I'm rather curious and open-minded and you may find me at a exhibition in a big city, sleeping under a tent in November, sipping a cappucino at a small café or riding a bike in the rain

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

(wrote that next sentence maybe 10 years ago, still rings true)

I guess I don't participate as much as I'd like to... But I can remember every single CS encounters: surfing, hosting or just CS meetings, there's just something amazing with how kind my fellow human beings can be, and I can see that when we open up a little more, the world feels like a better place.

Interests

A movie: Call Me By Your Name
An album: Renaissance (Beyoncé)
A book: I don't read enough fiction, more an essay kind-of-guy
A creative activity: photography
A physical activity: dancing

Music, Movies, and Books

I should time how fast I mention Beyoncé in a conversation with a stranger :D

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One day in Sicily, as I was walking alone at night, out of nowhere I was invited by a local bar owner to taste their Marsala wine. I don't remember what we discussed but it felt like a Woody Allen movie.

Teach, Learn, Share

Any occasion to share/teach how to make a "galette des rois", this delicious cake that we're supposed to eat only in January, but mind you, I could make these any day of the year
