ABOUT ME
Check out my occupations, sums it up I guess...
My focus, interests and activities revolve pretty much around reading the world and understanding the people that inhabit it through the enlightenment brought to us by social sciences, leftism and Hip Hop culture!
I sometimes get tired of the bourgeois bohemian ambiance of Paris, and especially of the lack of funkiness, freakiness of the city of lights, so I get the hell out of it when I can!
Oh, also, I'm a french and american dual-citizen, and even though I grew up in France, I must admit I feel a strong link to my other home town: Portland, OR baby!
For the rest, just meet me!
Cheers
PHILOSOPHY
Pop and Hip Hop Culture uplift!, chilling is the answer, leftist, anti-imperialist, I never think of the future nor am nostalgic of the past...
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
At the moment I can't offer a couch yet (crashing at my parents to save up some money), so I'm a surfer and would be glad to meet people in Paris...
