I work very unsocial hours, so I occasionally host.
..Globe-trotters, but non-profiteers, are more than welcome to stay over.
I tend to be as down to Earth as very natural. Ain’t ye ever be afraid to spread Love, any form of Love! This is what we as A World need. Love Life Laugh

🇲🇶🇫🇷🇨🇦

Originally from Madinina, my cherished Parents raised me (amongst my siblings) in the most “Natural” way as a child, which has since set me free this way, thus, I've always kept their “beyond Natural” character traits inside, even though I am slightly introverted towards it at times, but I would be glad to welcome guests with that free body culture state of mind, if some are around here. On the other hand, I would equally respect any of you just the way you are and I would simply like you to feel comfortable and at ease during your stay, so yours to be your way. Whether ye come from a different background or not, I just want ye to be Yourself, beforehand and have a great time when we'd be together.
I would naturally be pleased to host any of you if I can.

Peaceful and flexible to embrace diverse communities, ANY wanderlust, is welcome. Could be enlightening to share about cultures, traditions etc. I have a few board games and instrument(s) that we could also play if time allows.
My first-ever guest on this platform was the most Natural yogi-farmer-scout ever dreamed of. It's such a natural vision that I've finally got, out of it! I'm glad I've met such a person.
I enjoy the nonesuch difference towards the other. Arts, reading, writing, and self-learning to name a few, are equally pleasant and resourceful pastimes to me, offering to unwind in delight. Even though I need lone-time moments, I would also be pleased for us to spend time together heading for a sip or else good moment.

Looking back in time, ever since growing up, within a Christian community by the way, access to the nearby Nature was often a adventurous game needed, like hays or corn fields, forest immersions, and more... Hiking, cycling, wild camping or wandering, skinny-dipping, equestrian disciplines and sports, cross-country skiing, snow-shoeing, dog-sledding to name a few, make me flirt quite well with Nature, during which I could observe fauna and enjoy flora around, particularly when retreating out of town for a while. My "Frei-Körper-Kultur" background can well match with some of those. That is certainly one way of being, among others. And again, even though I like to be free, mutual respect is crucial.
I occasionally mountain-climbed, back in time. That was delightful. Am looking forward to it, again. I slightly embraced skateboarding lately, which is also fun but, since I have badly injured myself, a few years back yet, I got to kind of quit. I could still take you to the most cosmopolitan SK8-park in town, or perhaps to the nearest one. Well, ye guess that London has its hidden gems, right?!..
Even though I'm fond of wildlife and pets, none are unfortunately allowed under the roof here.
The mercy of a horse, a moose, a wolf, a wildcat (bobcats and cougars included; they’re too often forgotten), and a bird-of-prey, amazes me constantly, however, I ain’t own any of those back to my little room, and in fact, I would rather like seeing them free in their natural habitat. Cats and dogs, big cats and wolves are also my likes.

..Cherry on a cake, I am so fascinated by one of the largest carnivores on Earth.
Yours to guess what majestic beauty is that. I have yet given ye a big clue...

Inner circle of Relatives and Friends of mine, even at a distance, mean a lot to me. Meanwhile, I keep this circle very condensed (especially as people in general care off) and cherished, and that unequal fondness even got to my Mum that my Friends and I also Family, in a sense.
I only keep cherishing the human values that my beautiful Parents taught me when I rose, and I am so grateful to Them for having instilled this in me. Ever since my tender age, I was always taught to feel happy and privileged with the smallest quantity of whatever we had to share between us kids, but with pals also, even though we merely had nothing but humanity to share. Well, this is a good glimpse of what my "wealth" is made of. My richness is nothing about money or materialism, and I am glad about it.
Needless to be afraid of words, let us talk, let our true colors shine on us, and let us share. We’re all created the same, all humans. We are Humanity.
Let's do it: "Spread Love, bapp-taath-lah!" (Take6).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

..Best of all because my Parents were often hosting when I was a child, and then I just love the fact of having different People around. I like this concept, and am pleased to offer a place to crash on to fellow travellers who need it, if I can host. I mostly host, but occasionally am a potential guest too.

Like those Friends of mine, I also merely need Global Communities, in a way. Of course, linking with worldwide travelers always brings a little zest of the unaccessible world along. Getting to converse with locals is equally a good way of discovering surroundings when abroad, likewise with guests. Culturally, it is better, if time allows, to stay at hosts and share with them, rather than being in a hotel room, watching a TV screen, I believe. That's richer to exchange between us who live differently, this way we learn and discover more layers of the World, that leaves us with precious vibes.
Ever since I was a child, my Parents often *opened their house to foreigners, as to our friends, which was a great. I recall my fascination with the geographical origins of foreigners, their different gears and styles, thus their appearance and unknown lifestyles to me. *That part of my most Beloved People on Earth would never leave me, and once more, I am so grateful and happy to get to discover new cultures through my travels, so well as through my guests and hosts, thanks to Them both my Mum and Dad. ..Them first!
I have met some truly exceptional human beings, myself most of the time hosting. I have got to say that a very few of my fellow surfers here became Friends of mine. So precious and cherished friendships now! Here, is also the opportunity to travel and discover distant lands (anything out of sight could be distant) and their hoods from a local’s eyesight (either as a host or a guest, because places evolve), then again, for getting immersed into anything positive about adventures and trips. For the love of traveling, the unknown boundaries and links between us all, and also the pure beauty of Unity, harmony, and many other ways.

Interests

..Amongst so many others, I am fascinated by yoga in harmony with Nature and I love a break from the concrete jungle, then spending time in Nature.
Ever since I was a child, I have loved doing scale modeling and created my toys, such as cars and other vehicles, houses, and animals, from paper sheets, which I now consider as crafts. ..In my view, that passion and love for Arts and corporal expression escalates from Calligraphy, Books, Scale-modelling, Drawings/Sketches, and Silver film Photography, up to Music and Lyrics, Voices, but also Classical and Philharmonic Orchestras, Piano, Violin, Guitar, Theatre, the Movie Industry, Writing, Ballet Dancing, the Helicopter Industry (within the Aviation should I say), Wildlife, Nature, falconry, horses, only for mentioning a bunch of them at a glimpse. Feeling like embracing my freedom whenever and wherever I can, as feeling great is important.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am really eclectic and enjoy very diverse types or categories of music, as to the World, like Punk, Traditional, Native, Classical, Blues, Motown, Vocals, Tribal, etc.

"The Hunt", a film by Thomas Vinterberg, is such a powerful masterpiece to view. "La Amistad" by Steven Spielberg is another bright movie that I have appreciated and whose messages were harsh but undeniable.
Most recently, "Closer": a very sad but beautiful reflection on the acceptance and rejection of the other and the harm that it whole can involve.
Documentary movies remain my favourite things in Film.
David McKenna wrote it, John Morrissey produced it, then Tony Kaye directed it: "American History X" was a great production on a very sensible subject, decades back, that worths a screening.
Now, if you have a passion for cooking, especially French food, and love the literary French tongue, I can only recommend you to screen "The Taste of Things".
That's a marvel of linguistics melted in culinary arts!..

I have also a fanciness for writing and reading. An Aviation, Nature, or Destinations magazine is often beside me at work, in case I meet unforeseen long waiting times, stuck somewhere between two locations...
I truly enjoy reading Richard Munson. His book and way of writing about Nikola Tesla’s life is so captivating and I do recommend his masterpieces.
Dostoyevsky is in a sense another great writer!..

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Whilst going through several severe Winters in Canada, I used to welcome (separately) on different occasions some of the homeless People around, as only wandering through town heading to work in between -39*C and -45*C temperatures (that has not been the coldest ones that I lived in), for only beginning the day, was a little tough good morning...
So I figured out that some of those people with nowhere to go and find a bit of warmth would appreciate once or twice a warm place to stay for a bit of sleep overnight, out of the snow and icy weather. And that has taught me so much. Yep!.. By only doing this.
I always cherished that, as some of my best and kindest souvenirs.
Witnessing the Boreal Auroras in person while in the Arctic Manitoba, Canadian North Pole, was another phenomenal repetitive beauty, in plus of the appeal for the Polar Bears, and packs of Wolves, and then being able to walk on the Artic Sea!..

Teach, Learn, Share

Always glad to learn something new, any day at whatever moment!.. I would love to get fully involved in Natural Yoga, someday.
I could eventfully teach English, French, and Kréol. I can speak a bit of Spanish and kept some Polish words lately. Some fellows tell me that I owe what it takes to teach a language... Well, I like to explain the logic of how grammatical terms work, if I can, especially if I teach English to a French speaker or French to an English speaker, using comparisons. I would love to learn Arabic, Polish, and Dutch, as well as German and Mandarin if I had all these opportunities.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Opened to conversations or reflections about any societal thing or else subject, the pleasure of doing some grocery and cooking a succulent meal, either baking or making other sorts of desserts, if I can, basically the same as with my guests, respect, honesty, consideration, encouragements, advice, general help with chores, but entertaining things also and companionship, let’s say something fun, board games, pleasant and memorable time together.
I am always very pleased if I can prepare even one easy-tasty culinary set for my hosts during my stay, as they offer me their place. And to me, that dish would be one of my ways of being thankful, with my whole gratitude.
