I'm on couchsurfing because I think it is a much nicer way to travel and visit places, sharing some time with locals instead of staying in hotels by ourselves - I usually travel with my two kids. I love to meet new people and be able to exchange a little about our lives and cultures. For my kids this is a way, among others, to understand the value of uninterested exchanges. Naturally I would also be glad to receive some guest in our home.

Since I've quit my job in Lisbon and moved to Britany France, I've seen so many movies and read so many books that it's hard to select the favorites ones. Mostly I'm interested in movies and books about different countries and cultures of which I didn't knew much before seeing / reading it, or about special or gifted people. To mention some of the last seen or read. Movies: "Persepolis", "Head-On", "No", "Saison des femmes" (Parched), "Va, vis et Deviens", "The lifes of Others", "The Lady" , "Into the wild", "Searching for sugar man", "Invictus", "A bottle in the gaza sea", "Les Cerfs-volants de Kaboul"... Books: "Internet - ce que nous échape", "O homem de constantinopla", "Les enfants de Staline", "Ma vie rebelle", "Jerusalem", "Arc in ciel dans la nuit", "Mille soleils splendides" ...
