CURRENT MISSION Trying to survive in the Asian jungle ABOUT ME I live in Thailand since 2009, before I was living 5 years in China. I love Asia for its different approach to life, for its culture and so many different people. I'm curious about people, I like to investigate the human nature in all its aspects. I learn from observation, I speak by experience, I feel with heart and mind. I'm a social person, I like going out at night, have fun enjoying good music, eating well and drinking socially. I respect anybody as far as others respect myself, it's the basic attitude of a peaceful living together, in a house or in the world. Criticisms are always welcome anyway, without it our personal growth wouldn't be possible. But up to a certain limit, because we are also builders (N. Mandela). Sharing is indeed a great way to give and receive life experience, so I'm always happy to share my lifestyle. I don't like drugs too much; those into heroin, cocaine, mushrooms and pills are not welcome to my home. Weed and hash is tolerated outdoor, but I don't smoke it anymore now. I'm a social drinker, a few beers or glass of wine make up the mood high, but I seldom exceed. Well, sometimes it happen to anyone :) I often meet up with many friends for home dinners and barbecue, but I also like to stay on my own or having more private hang out. I'm a culture lover, I like history, art, local cultures and habits when I travel, as well as for the country I live. PHILOSOPHY Love and do what you like. When you love people you would never do anything to hurt them.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING My private situation has changed over the past 3 years, I live with my girlfriend and 2 children now, so not much space for couch surfers. But I would appreciate to be a guest when I'm travelling. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I think it's a great way to give the opportunity to people to travel cheap and meet new friends at the same time.
Music, Movies, and Books
Too many to list them here
One Amazing Thing I've Done
A balloon flight over Chiang Mai (Thailand) rice fields, a real amazing experience!
My Interests
I'm a lazy type for physical activity, but luckily I still keep a decent shape and health condition. I like badminton, tennis, squash and volleyball as sports, but hard to practice here in Phuket. I don't swim very well, I'm a bit afraid of water, which is strange for a person who lives on a tropical island; I'm taking lessons. I play guitar socially, not really a musician, just jamming sometimes. I like dancing almost any kind of music, lately I'm taking salsa lessons too.
