About Me

I'm a red bearded smiling guy who loves meeting people, discussing about hot topics, cooking VG food, tinkering and helping for whatever you would like.

Apart from living decently, I'm concerned by how the heavy way of life and technological choices we are in can be changed to fight industrial destruction of earth and intense resource extraction. I try to tackle this huge topic in my research through technological insights and critical philosophy on hacker culture and ecologists mouvements.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on CS because it's really interesting and convenient : seriously, a social network to meet people in real life and travelling based on sharing and reciprocity. I've always found it awesome. (it would be even better if it were a decentralized common network though).

I'm also learning spanish and CS is quite a convenient way of meeting people to practice languages.
