About Me

CURRENT MISSION
Do more hiking and walks in nature. Attend more art and cultural activities.
Swim in the lake even in the off season.

ABOUT ME
Live in Geneva, Switzerland - been organizing a refugee cooking project for a few years called CuisineLab (cuisinelab.ch). Enjoy going on little adventures, especially linked to art, culture, and nature. If it's a little more surreal or absurd the better.

PHILOSOPHY
keep a healthy balance of naiveté and stoicism.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Always happy to meet people who have an open mind and heart.
And like to try to put some meaning and purpose into this strange and beautiful world we live.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Meeting people here is probably better than pretending I am a burrito and hiding under the covers.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music.....been enjoying this song: tcheren deya - mathias duplessy. (mongolian fusion)
Enjoy world music, indie rock, soul, funk, pretty much anything if it's well crafted.

I love film:
happy to watch classics, or really good cinema, an the occasional trashy film is fun.

I'm reading a bit of nonfiction at the moment. Liquid Love, and David Graeber (on a sociology kick), would love to get back to reading fiction. Any suggestions?
