About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enrich myself with a vision beyond our appearance, beyond our own walls, beyond the day-to-day habits: the most natural fertilizer to grow up and become a Generously Modified Organism! ;-)

ABOUT ME

A combination of realism, idealism and utopia! Yes, a big dreamer having my feet on the ground!

I try to act according to my ideas on the environment and to respect other people. I like comparing my ideas on ecology, society ... share our visions of the world for mutual enrichment. There is not just one way to live happily and everyone must bring his own stone!

PHILOSOPHY

Sharing, ability to listen, altruism , curiosity, respect ¦ All these values are important for me and I hope not to be too far from that.

I tried to translate some sentences I love ¦
"The boats are safe in the harbour. But ships are not meant for that." P.Coelho
"Trust chance, help your happiness and don't fear risk. By watching you people will get used to it." R . Char

"The world is small when we have friends away" Katrin, a very close friend but a "few" miles away now ;-)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

First time : A great weekend in Brussels with a friend at a very nice guy's!
...since, many other beautiful experiences!

Interests

I love sharing moments with friends around a drink, at a festival, in the mountains...
I love naturalism and I'm very interested by ethnobotany.
I practise theatre improvisation and it's really fun!
I love dancing and especially the African dance.
I love sharing things with a lot of people.
I love going cycling at night or walking in the rain.
I practised archery for a lot of time and I like that!
But, according to me, the "must-do" to get to know each other is sharing!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
