CURRENT MISSION Traveling thanks to you while staying in Paris ! ABOUT ME I started traveling on my parent's sailboat on the Mediterranean Sea before I learned to walk. Since then, it has been like a virus. I can spend 4 months without traveling, but not more ! After graduating from ENS, I've been working for 8 years, first teaching French in New York (so I can teach you if you want to !), then writing speeches for French Minister of Defense, then managing two of the most beautiful parisian monuments, the Pantheon and the Arch of Triumph, and now back with my Minister who is now serving as Minister for Foreign Affairs. I don't know what I will do next, but I'm sure it will be another adventure ! PHILOSOPHY (or just one sentence that inspires me) "il y a trois sortes d'hommes : les bienheureux, les malheureux, les voyageurs" "there are three kinds of human beings : the blessed, the unfortunate and the travellers" (Marsilio Ficino) What I understand : the blessed man seeks happiness and finds it ; the unfortunate one also seeks happiness, but doesn't find it ; the traveler is quite different, he seeks neither happiness nor misery, but intensity, and then, finding intensity while traveling, he finds more happiness (but also misery) than the blessed and the unfortunate together. That's why I'm hosting or traveling !

Warum ich auf Couchsurfing bin
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING Letting some people sleep on my couch and sleeping on some other couches, sharing our experiences, discovering that I could have been born elsewhere, and verifying that we really are, all of us, despite what Freud calls "the narcissism of small differences", involved in the same adventure.
