I mostly think of myself as a decent human being, rational and even-tempered. If you want deep, serious conversations, I will probably bring you an open-minded but thorough sparring partner. If you want more quiet or feel-good moments, I can do that too :) I like to learn, exchange ideas and experience, and challenge even my deeply-held views, including by meeting weird peoples and getting out of my comfort zones. I will probably take deep interest in whatever you are passionate about, but in addition my favorite topics may include : how distinct are different areas in the world and different people in general ; which lifestyles and policies make sense (taking into account social and environmental constraints) ; how to care for others and oneself, think and feel ; what is intelligence, wisdom and sanity ; what's the best sports and art (music, movies, books) in the world - or maybe just for me ; etc. I've traveled quite a bit, especially 8 months in 2018, including hitchhiking, sleeping in tents or in cars, Couchsurfing of course, and occasionally weirder venues.
