CURRENT MISSION Be a part - a tiny one - of what Culture could be referred as ABOUT ME I was borned and raised in a somehow progressive family with egalitarian values. I consider myself a punk/metal geek, but I'm a big fan of world music. History is for me as much of an intellectual interest as a moral damp. I like gardening. I believe into a radically democratic and decentralized socialism. I love pating my dog, thats like opium with hair (R.I.P.). I studied in a leftift microcosm. I drink maple syrup on a regular basis. I love cycling. "...un homme se définit aussi bien par ses comédies que par ses élans sincères." -Albert Camus "Music is both my biggest passion and my biggest escape" -Bobgan Chiochiu "Only what four eyes can see is undoubtedly true" -Ludwig Feuerbach "Philosophers have hitherto only interpreted the world in various ways; the point is to change it" -Karl Marx "On va botter l'cul de tous les patrons" -Michel Chartrand PHILOSOPHY Tolerance and respect are some very important social axioms for me, unless I'm around intolerant and disrespectful people. I like to think discussion is a great way to create social ties, but there are many other social practices that are not regarded in that matter. I like to deviate from my thoughts the things I assume generally acquired; let's intellectually deconstruct everything!

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE Couchsurfing is not only a virtual space that gave me an opportunity to discover cities with locals in a very personal way, it also is a community of cosmopolitan joy-driven people I have done WWOOFing in the past.
Music, Movies, and Books
I'm into music of all genre, from grindcore to shoegaze via fuzion jazz. J'adore la musique de toutes les inspirations: Hardcore/crust/post punk, trip hop, no/cold wave, psychedelic, stoner, garage, bluegrass (et folk sale, 'sti), chicha, bossa, cumbia, free/latin/acid/swing jazz, afro-funk/beat, (deep/prog) house, techno, prog rock/metal/punk, sludge, grime, (t)rap &drill, drone ou death/black/doom metal, (harsh) noise music... I love social theatre and litterature. Most of the time, I read essays and novelettes. I love H.S. Thompson A.Gramsci, S. Hall, M. Foucault, K.Marx, R. Barthes, A.Camus, B. Vian, M.Kundera, B.Bretch, Molière
Teach, Learn, Share
I try to make each encounter a collegial encounter, where all that emerges is intersubjective knowledge. It'd be nice to have a jam in your/my living room!
My Interests
I would not have much motivation if it wasn't for arts, music and litterature in the first place. I enjoy talking about socio-political issues and confronting my own prejudices to ideals. I like biking under the rain and running on new-york-style hardcore punk in the forest, cause everyone loves mosh-runnin' under the trees. I like cooking with people. Not as ingredient.
