About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live the good side of life to the full, and accept the other side

ABOUT ME

Learning to be as free as I can.

Free from others'rules, free from suffering. Free to be able to love.

I just finished a 2 years trip, while working (on the net.. awesome time..).

During this trip, I realized how lucky i was to have got educated, and I looked for a meaningful way to live... Just back in France, a friend and I are preparing for launching a start up in Paris, and I'll tell you only one thing : we want to do good :D

Other interests :
Surfing
Rock climbing

PHILOSOPHY

Less is more

Happiness feels like eating a fresh fish in front of the sea

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

I discovered real good music (for me) with independant rock, like Pixies, Pavement, Built to Spill, Sebadoh, Sonic Youth and so on. This "independent" stuff was quite a revolution.
Today, I listen a lot of jazz (Art Blackey, Acid Jazz, Erik Truffaz).
Electronic too, in short, the amazing label Ninja Tunes.

Movies. Favorite film maker : jim Jarmusch

Books : recently read 1984. wow. This guy had understood so much at his time...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Buying a motorbike in Buenos Aires, and going through the argentinian administrations...

Then riding from Rio Gallegos till Salta on the mythic road 40, along the Andes for 6 800 km...

I finally discovered MY ideal way of travelling, that fulfill my HUGE liberty needs !

Ho, and more recently... walking in a 1 meter deep fresh snow up to the "Pas du Diable" in the southern Alps, close to the Vallée des Merveilles.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm looking for a friendly & skillful programmer to get in partnership for my start up !
One of the reason why I'm doing this trip, is to find an activity that would suit my values, and second, to find a friend for a constructive partnership. I like the energy of a good team work !

Other activities to SHARE :
Speaking French, English, Spanish
Structure engineering, How to design parasismic buildings
Surfing basic techniques
Graphic design
Editing, Filming and making short films
Business experiences
