CURRENT MISSION

the situationists used to call it DÉRIVE ; I am travelling with a small puppet theatre peepshow, my goal being to survive with what i can get by performing ; to achieve freedom from all imaginable restrains (job, home, social shackles) - i'm drifting!

ABOUT ME

Each word i use to define myself with cuts down the variety of personalities I can appear as, when we'll meet. I believe all of us can take many (if not endless) roles, and I for sure am never satisfied with those i've already learned to act.
"But it's not all about acting", someone might say. "There's also the real you behind each role, isn't there?" I hope you'll find him - the guy behind the masks - and introduce him to me as well! Until that day I'll be happy to believe in all of the roles i play.

PHILOSOPHY

At the moment i'm mainly concerned with breaking all those chains and restrains that people commonly believe to be automatically obligatory for everyone; in order to be free in all possible ways. Guess you could call that a philosophy...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm just starting with CS2, and i'll be sure to keep a blog on my travels, at least!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've travelled a bit around Europe, and another bit in Kenya. Meeting new people, sharing ideas and discussing our different views on things are of course always wonderful experiences, but i suppose the best thing i've gained through all this is some trust in the general good will of us human beings.

Interests

Art and creativity in all it's forms - especially when it steps out of the galleries and theatre halls, when poetry crawls out of books and mixes with everyday speech!
Activism, anarchism, "poetic terrorism", avant garde, in-spiration, ex-stasis, literature, music (jamming too)...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

All communication is about teaching, learning and sharing, even if we don't make it in the form of a lesson. Not that i'd have anything against lessons!
I'd love to teach people something about what i'm good at, and more than anything i want to learn new things. I want to both learn and teach about life outside the world based on consumerism.
