ABOUT ME

I love Music and Philosophy.

I've been living in Paris since April, and I can't get bored about this lively city. I'm about to resume my studies by starting a new degree in Philosophy with political science at Paris 1.

My character is that of a self-contained person who tries to understand how to live. I can be cynical, serious, patient, impatient, determined, hesitant, clever, stupid...but I always end up looking for an equilibrium.

PHILOSOPHY

“There is more wisdom in your body than in your deepest philosophy.” – F. Nietzsche, Human, All Too Human

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've hosted a few people

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Most of the persons I've met have caused me to get a new insight on human life. This is far more than I could ever ask for.

Interests

In love with Music. Were it be Erik Satie or Jimi Hendrix, I listen to many different genres, and am always searching for a different perspective to listen from. My closest friend considers I'm over-influenced by John Frusciante...which is true.

Although I've gone through many different situations in my studies, Philosophy has always been my main subject. Thinking rationally clears the mind. It requires discipline, but it feeds my hunger for enquiry.

I often go swimming, meditate daily and like to stretch.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've seen a seagull.
I've left a plastic sieve melting on a heating plate.

Teach, Learn, Share
