About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Finding hope for the future,
Mining free time (pfff, not a success)
Experiencing

ABOUT ME

Interested in everything, I guess helping people makes me happy. Meeting and listening people from different backgrounds with different points of view seems to be an important thing to build our minds, understand ourselves, and make society

I studied mechanical engineering, meanwhile I raced in canoë slalom competitions all around the rivers :) I am now dancing a lot (from balfolk to argentinian tango, through brazilian forro, contact-improvisation, and other contemporary) working sometimes and running different projects a the same time

PHILOSOPHY

It'(wa)s time to think twice on our non-sustainable way of consuming our travels (and the entire planet, but let's stick to CS for now)

I'm kind of optimistic (deep inside), I think that makes me smile and so I can enjoy my life every days ! Good things happen, so take care of everything around you and you'll probably feel it back.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

I'll do the exercise of choosing one "momentaneous favourite" thing for the purpose of an imperfect description (and so you have something else to prove that you read my profile, but no worry I don't mind that much, sometimes looking for a couch is looking for a couch, life is full, we do our best)

1 music : Amsterdam, Brel

1 movie : Daaaaaaali, Dupieux

1 book : La horde du contrevent, Damasio

++ I wish I had (or I create) more time to listen/watch /read... (priorities you say ?)
