About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Living a musical dream

ABOUT ME

After doing engineering studies I found out that it wasn't my cup of tea... playing music is much more fun !

My main Couchsurfing experience was during a 2-years trip. Left with a guitar, 0 money, been busking from France to Australia, mainly hitchhiking. For the stay, I've been CSing of course, but not that often ! I would usually randomly meet locals who invite me over, or find a place to camp. It was an awesome adventure !

Now that I'm back in France and I've grown to a "real" musician... hopefully :D

PHILOSOPHY

I think that everyone can change the world, at his scale. A kind word, an attention, a smile can change so many things and turn a heartache into a nice day !

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I started couchsurfing very actively in 2013, hosting people from everywhere in Marseille, France. That summer was crazy and very busy ! I met different people and different cultures, am still in contact with some of them, and sometimes when I travel I can meet them again and that's very cool ! What I really like about hosting, it's another way of traveling, as if the world came to you.

Since then I've been surfing/staying with local strangers A LOT, in many countries. This experience is that good, I just love it :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I used to have any, now it's plenty :) I'll leave this old one and you'll know the others soon :

Once in New york I stopped in a park with my friend. We started to play music and were joined by local musicians. It turned into a great gig with amazing people, a big crowd enjoying this unexpected musical show ! And as the darkness started to fall down, one of the guitarists stood up and said : "We're having a good time, but I wish we had a grand piano"... and the crowd opened a way to the piano guy, pushing his piano toward us : "Somebody asked for a grand piano?" and started to bring the hell out of it. Magic in the air :')
