CURRENT MISSION

Improve my Spanish and meet awesome people.

ABOUT ME

I'm a French/American guitar player, singer, amateur photographer and inline skating instructor. I'm also a geek and love computers (I'm an engineer, I make iPhone and iPad apps for a living).
I love music (ska, indie, reggae, gypsy jazz, classic rock and electro).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'd be happy to host people coming to LA, and I'm attempting to travel as much as possible.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I haven't couch surfed much (only once in the Netherlands), but I've stayed a year in the USA in a host family (with the AFS exchange program). And I have also hosted 6 different exchange students for one whole year. I love meeting people from other countries and cross-cultural experiences.

Interests

I love food (it's part of the French culture), that includes preparing it, tasting it, and talking about it ! I'm also very interested in how people think, interact, live. I love to be introspective about myself, thinking about how I do things and deal with life in general. In terms of practice, I do yoga weekly and when I have time, I meditate.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent a year in the USA when I was 16 without my family. It made me much more mature and open to other cultures.
I've participated 3 times to the 24 hours inline skating race on the famous Le Mans car track with another 6000 participants. I've also been in an inline skating semi-marathon (finished in 45 minutes).

Teach, Learn, Share

I believe I have a lot of interesting things to teach you and I'm a very nice teacher.
I can teach you how to inline skate (afterall I am an instructor), skateboard, play some guitar, howto use linux, how to take nice pictures ...
