About Me

Hi, I’m 40 but feel like 25, grew-up in Paris, moved to Los Angeles at 23 and spent the following 15 years travelling and living abroad

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because We Are All Travelers
Hosting feels like traveling yourself,
but it's the travel that comes to your house 🎒

Я всегда рад знакомству с людьми из моей родной культуры, разрешаю смеяться над моим русским акцентом )

¿Alguna posibilidad de que puedas ayudarme a aprender español? Estoy listo para un intercambio :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I like to listen to all kind of music, nowadays playing often some downtempo & russian reggae, but really anything with a good soul. Often tuning to the Parisian Radio Nova mix in the evenings. As a kid was listening to Michael Jackson daily

I like to read interesting autobiographies, history, scientific and educational subjects. The 3th floor of Barnes & Noble in Union Square is my playground. I also enjoy watching comedies and Sci-fi movies👽

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Stoped judging others. Now trying to bring a more peaceful and loving approche to things rather than fears and fights

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to learn and share about Science, Religions(history) and Psychedelics . It doesn't necessarily mean that I practice all of those tho 🕊️
