About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Ouvrir une fenêtre avec le petit doigt.

ABOUT ME

There's this strange ephemeral feeling of beauty and hapiness that I get to experience at strange moments and places in my life. They are not big moment, big experience nor small or less important. It simply occurs at a particular or random moment when you feel that you inhabit the whole world in you, imprisonned in time. Everything seems to be at their place, yet, things are moving but you know you are part of the world and you can make it into a better home. I think I'm constantly looking for those random moments at any places in the world or at any places in someone's world. Some friends tells me I'm a dreamer and that I'm working hard achieving something. I'don't know, I guess I try to dance and get the next step right.

PHILOSOPHY

Heidegger, Darwin, Stanley Cavell, Alain Badiou, atheist, evolutionist. determinist, positivist, but I guess life is full of surprise so my own philosophy includes my name.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've met many people from couchsurfing. Some of them are my greatest friends or ephemeral greatest friends even if many kilometers (most often an ocean) separates us. I guess it's a lot for a simple couch.

Interests

I love arts!! Cinema, music, playing music, reading, rock climbing, badminton, kin-ball, every physical activity, cooking, walking, traveling, searching, discovering, eating, taking a nap, singin in the rain, dancing in weird places, throwing feathers, screaming for our rights, not saying a word, listenning, touching dust, breathing fresh air, kicking a paper, jumping, flying, going to neptune, etc...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

There's never something big that I have done or have seen, it's always the little things, a moment, a state of mind in a particular random place, with friends or random people, a simple walk, taking a break somewhere, talking with a stranger, a friend, that makes me feel as if everything around me and myself is perfect. And those things cannot be shared here (it will feels like a vaccum of words).
