About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To stop working so much and devote my time to what is more essential in life; to other people, culture, beauty...

ABOUT ME

I am very much interested in understanding the others- their culture, values, behaviour. Personnally, I am rather dependent on intelectual exchange....
Having studied in Paris, I am still in love with French culture and I obviously appreciate the French urban way of living.

PHILOSOPHY

My philosophy has changed a lot after I experienced a long lasting adrenal burn-out.Compulsive helping attitude towards others is not that important for me anymore, but I enjoy sharing ideas and giving a hand if I am asked to do it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am ready to share information and knowledge with anybody interested in Slovenia...maybe more, if I am not taken by my obligations.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have travelled a lot, mostly professionally, meeting many people and staying with them. Only once I think, I went to Wroclaw with no professional objective in mind and first I felt quite embarrased staying with a family I did not know. But then my hosts and myself became very good friends...and we still are...But I have lioved in groups quite often... and know a lot about group dynamics...

Interests

I can easily be interested in any topic...urbanism, architecture, litterature, adult education, local development,psychology, philosophy, social sciences, art history, caligraphy...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have done many things in my life...but I most appreciate long distance biking and visting towns...alone or with friends...not knowing where the day will stop for me...

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach French, I can teach transactional analysis, I can teach how to prepare local cakes....I can be a good listener and adapt myself ....and mirror the person I am talking to. That's teaching too, isn't it?
