About Me

We are all dreamers and builders, trying to adapt to a world we do not fully grasp. Emergent from the interaction of many fluxes and agents, our world is a growing spiral of complexity. Since I was 12 years old, I envisioned a possible future built around knowledge and compassion.

Our goal to decipher that complexity continues to this day. In order to create beautiful outcomes out of entropy, we will need a better grasp of the key interactions in our society.

Putting our mind to a challenge, especially if it's related to people we love or respect, is a great way to evolve as an individual and as a society.

Connie and me are trying to contribute to the construction of a living system in order to tackle the world's complexity and increase the probabilities of desirable futures for all. Our own role in this construction is emergent of what we percieve as missing and/or critical.

Our life reflects this evolution: we've been deeply immersed in many different cultures and fields. It is always a pleasure to discover someone or something.

See you soon and have a nice day !

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To discover and connect immediately with people on a higher level of connection than most random encounter. It is like an unwritten rule that in couchsurfing, you are expected to be open and interact in any way you're confortable with, be you a guest or an host. We're on couchsurfing because we like social environment where exchanges can be anything - just facilitated.

Interests

We love to cook a blend of mediterranean and asian food.
We're interested in anything.

  • cooking

  • love

Music, Movies, and Books

A variety of music, movies and books. It is hard to make choices, as it really depends on the context. Sci-fi and hip hop, Classical and philosophical essays ?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Meeting & marrying Connie. Cultivating happiness and meaningfulness within ourself, together, with and towards others.
