Thanks to consider the fact that you re asking someone you don’t know yet to come in his home...

After years of teaching (That I really liked) I decided to leave everything behind and go explore the world by myself. My mission was : REACHING INDIA by HITCHHIKE and stay in Asia !
Unfortunately life had other plans for me and I ended to be 5 months in an hospital and 6 month rehab after an accident in Greece. Surprisingly I realized I wouldn't change a minute of this experience if I could. Now I m back on the road for a new chapter of what I consider a bonus life :)

ABOUT ME

There is no time I am happier than ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD MY BACKPACK ON MY SHOULDERS AND A CARDBOARD SIGN IN MY HANDS !
I m vegan, buddhist and happy dude. Some years ago, I realized that happiness is not something that exist outside of me, but something I create just by my way of looking at the world. Happiness like peace come from within.

After years of self exploration I found out that my balance goes from spending days in festivals on some drugs to stay in deep vipassana retreats where I spend 120h meditation in silence within 11 days. I m a guy of extremes, find my balance like that and let my energy drive my actions.

I was raised and I believed that I needed things to be happy. I get a house, a car, a mobile phone, a boyfriend, a girlfriend, a cat, a washing machine... and I get rid of all of this. Now my life is contained in 10 cardboard boxes, a bike and a rice cooker and I never felt more content.

I constantly meet precious human being who I consider as brother and taking care of each other take most of my time and energy.

I do regret that I can find less and less travelers here and more teens who care just about having a cheap week-end and good tips. If you don't consider like one of those sign your request with "hit the road" and I will know you pay enough attention at the profile of your potential host and are a true CS.
