About Me

CURRENT MISSION

m'incarner davantage (pas dans un ongle si possible) , une mission ambitieuse !

ABOUT ME

All about me, there you go ..

I love Dance with wolves for the unique relation between the man and the nature, for the will of this man to leave appart of humanity and build his own world.

I would put Jeff Buckley (rock singer), Into the Wild (the movie) and Nicolas de Stael (russiand painter) all together in the same bag. In this bag I would put as well passion, madness, and the subtle mix of selfichness and creativeness that links the individual to the humanity.

I love all of them, and they are really inspiring, I think !

I built my own world, by thinking a lot, and staying sensitive.

I really value people that are able to get amazed of small things, I value wisdom and humility as two importants keys to happiness and life in society. Those are two qualities I dont have and that I want to develop.

I am creative, tall, quite inspired by women but willing to have more male friends !

I was working for the past two years in Colombia where i was working in a Human rights consultancy in Medellin. I have been in this very surprising country for almost 2 years and it has been a great time and experience.
Before that i worked in Africa ( Benin) and lived in Australia. I studied project management and plastical arts (I love painting).

I think that after that big trip I will go back to France and work in micro credit in poor districts; unless I fall in love somewhere in Brasil !

PHILOSOPHY

Cherche cherche cherche !

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had very good CS experiences as well as very bad (ask me and I tell you !). Overall I think that it is really a good opportunity to meet interesting people in a quick way.

The domn side would be that CS sometimes looks like disneyland, everybody is beautiful and super cool, and super wise and super peaceful and super super =) !

Maybe there should be a way to give the chance for people to fully represent themselves out of pressure , the "pressure" being the fact that there is this feeling that you have to present yourself as being totally positive and kind of sell yourself. Which ends up creating a large amount of similar profiles with people trying each time more to sell themselves as super humanists and so on.

After all, we are just humans, right ??!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have walked half an hour with a disabled guy on my back that was willing to go to one very special church located far far away in a forest. I was in Africa and I dont trust in God ... what a day it was !
