I like to think hard about things.
I’m a freak, and I’m frank with myself; I’d better get into troubles instead of sticking my head in the sand.
You would recognise me from an omnipresent backpack, holding a book either wearing my favourite white headsets. I enjoy walking in nature, and do not hesitate to talk to myself out loud.
Closer friends say I have an innate ability to connect to anyone. I just want to make the world a better place.
Countless worldviews have to be met to create lasting change.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here to meet new, open-minded, nice, international people!
I have lived as a guest for almost 2 years, and it has been one of the richest periods of my life. I'm eager to get back to that atmosphere as soon as I can, when travelling.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

35-day fast.
We can talk about that.

Travelled Nepal and Couchsurfed for 1 month.

Teach, Learn, Share

Share about how to make the world a better place. I'm especially interested in how philosophy could fill the gap of wisdom we suffer in Western society, and everything that concerns rational thinking.
Give me any percussion and we'll play together!

I can teach you some basic mindfulness techniques, and talk about why it may be one of the best habits to establish.
