Hey there, my name is Raphael, joiner and PhD candidate. I am currently living in beautiful Metz (France).
I am universalist and believe that everybody has the power to create a new world.

Salut, je m'appelle Raphaël, je suis menuisier et je fais un doctorat dans la philosophie politique. J'habite à Metz.
Je suis convaincu que chacun a la puissance de créer sa propre réalité.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I get to know people within their private sphere which is extremely interesting.

I don't get why my couchsurfing experiences in Munich and Isfahan are not listed, but they were of such nature.

Interests

Sports, Literature, Theatre, History, Languages, Music, and much more.

I list traveling too, even though it may seem obvious that someone who is on couchsurfing likes to travel.
I believe that traveling does not necessitate any kind of physical locomotion, but that traveling is a way to think and act and to encounter everyday life, no matter where you are.

The greatest traveler is the one who is able to make the tour around himself.

• literature
• socializing
• music
• sports
• history
• languages

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: german old school hiphop (yes, that kind of thing exists, means 90s music) also classic, jazz, french chansons.

Books: one of my favourite books is "A river runs through it" by Norman McClean, and I generally like to read classics. You will find some in english and french in my room (german as well of course).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I lately shaved my beard without any good reason. Truly amazing, since shaving your beard is really stupid.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like to learn new things

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am ready to discuss in depth philosophical and political topics. If you want to, there is need to smalltalk! If you want, it is no dream!
