CURRENT MISSION

My current mission is to discover what my mission is.

ABOUT ME

All about me? Well...I don't even know myself! To keep it simple, i've lived in France all my life, in Nevers at first and then I've studied in Paris and Bordeaux. I've also studied two years at Cardiff University in Wales. Now, I don't really know which path I wanna ride, so I've come to the United States to be a French teaching assistant and see what it's like. I'm living in Oberlin, Ohio, which is small but pleasant.
God...it is hard to describe oneself! Just look at my interests...you'll know more about me than I can myself say.

PHILOSOPHY

The ideal would be to disintegrate myself and be an atom. However, being myself, I'm trying to follow Spinoza - that is : try to find the best possible ways to relate with people and things. Be amazed at what is.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can host people if they happen to come to Oberlin!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Zero - although friends from various parts of the world have visited me when I was in Paris last year.

Interests

I love arts, all arts...in particular I'm a real big fan of Bob Dylan and a I listen to a lot of British and American sixites music.
I am also really interested in cinema - I've made a few films and I'm planning to do more. I love watching films too...old Italian films, American, French...everything that has something to say.
I love nature too. I enjoy walking - Thoreau style.

I know some philosophy and I'm always happy to speak about it. I'm interested in Buddhism and would like to learn more about it.
