About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Accept myself as I am, and embrace whatever happen (with joy...).

ABOUT ME

Quite joyfull and curious, I've been involved into different kind of stuffs (from Philosophy to Photo studies, passing by tree pruning), searching for a path. I also worked as a landscape gardener during years, and recently as a postman. And at the end of that, I decided to travel through, not the world, but NZ to begin.

And I don't regret it. That country is just awesome. First of course we all picture the huge natural landscapes and primitive nature. But people are also so nice to you. If you've got months in your life you don't know what to do with, buy a ticket (no return) and leave now, you won't regret it.

I'm currently living in Chambéry and work as a ''Rigsaw driver'' (sort of...).

PHILOSOPHY

Remain aware and equanimous (not that much lately...)
Be in the (fucking (bloody awesome)) now....

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would like to participate by sharing my home whenever it's possible and be hosted when I'm travelling and discovering new places, or just meet new people (passign by or living around).

Interests

I used to be a reader long time ago, from essays or philosophy (Baudrillard, Nietzsche, C.G.Jung, Krishnamurti, sceptics and stoics ....) to novels (Orwell, Hesse, Goethe.....)
I've done some photo studies, just one year, but I really like that topic (sometimes more as a philosopher than a photographer).
I started climbing a long time ago, and started back a year ago with a real passion for block.
I also played a bit of drums, and I love it so much (even though I suck at it...)
