I'm quite fond of quirky, eccentric, skeptical, literary people.
Constantly on the lookout for unique perspectives - especially of those who find it in them to remain thoughtful about the prevailing injustices in modern life despite having made it to the bourgeois class. I'm a conflicted person with a keen impulse to study and learn from those different and better than me.

SPECIAL NOTE: I would be more than happy to host anyone from the LGBTQ+ community and persons of colour.
SPECIAL NOTE 2: Please make the enjoyment of your trip noncontingent on your stay at my place! I may/may-not be able to hang out and I can't be sure of that in advance.

To potential guests: Please keep me me informed about your itinerary so that I can adjust my schedule accordingly. If you're staying on weekdays I might not be able to spend time with you.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

To do my bit in making the world a more congenial and hospitable place. By offering a roof to those who want to wander.

Abstractly:
To learn from people.
To understand them and myself better.
To craft a hospitable person in me.

Morceaux de musique, films et livres

This field is supposed to encapsulate my consumptive interests but it can never be exhaustive.
From the top of my head:

Books:
I adore reading. Philosophy is my primary mistress and fiction is who I turn to for comforts not found in people. I adore existentialist, absurdist, philosophical literature and have a special corner for leftist writers who intend to create and define a better world. I'm pretty basic when it comes to fiction (joyce, nabokov, dostoevsky, DFW etc). Also fond of chomsky, marx, camus and John Berger.

Music:
Give me experimental rock, avant-garde and confusing trout mask replica-esque albums. Classical music, indie and stuff that's emotionally destructive (neutral milk hotel, car seat headrest and lofi shoegaze anyone?)

Movies:
Weird, confusing, art-house. Bergman, kurosawa, lynch and Barbara Hammer. Give me films that disturb, confuse, provoke and are strange.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

I came into existence from the void. Heideggerian I know but how cool is that.

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

I have no clue how to answer 'teach, learn and share' but in over two decades of my life I've learned nothing conclusively, and shared only skepticism.

I have nothing to teach. Everything to learn. And as much to share as you're willing to listen.
