ABOUT ME

Curious, adventurous, open-minded, trying to be hope-full about.. everything, and grateful to life and all people that enabled me to be here and now.

I used to like food facts (growing, cooking, eating, organizing dinners, discovering, learning, teaching, and fasting) and to work in food industry. Trying to have a mindful approach led me to learn how to grow vegetables and now I am living in the quiet countryside. I know it sounds cliché...

The same with arts, visuals : I am a photographer, I like design, talent, visual surprises and equilibrium. I feel like situations, performing and passing artwork are a path to the divine.
But images are very powerful, so we need to mind about their impacts (emotional + political + ecological + spiritual + about personal privacy).

I clearly choose a walk in the forest rather than an outing to the mall, I love to fix stuff and imagine a way to recycle objects and if I want to eat out I organize a picnic ;) I'm not that much into partying loudly but rather in playing a game, talking hours about life or planning a funny project.

Sometimes I'm over-motivated (go hike this mountain right now! ), sometimes i feel like lazy (what about just watching a good documentary ?).
Sometimes I'm over-sociable (wanna speak to everyone in the room and hug strangers), but promptly I need loneliness and calm to recharge my batteries.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like meeting people and having the chance to learn from anyone. I try to keep this attitude in every situation of daily life but couchsurfing is also a good way to get in contact with people from diverse background.
And of course it's still a way to facilitate minimalist traveling, and that is really meanful to me.

I use to couchsurf when traveling, and of course had, and still have, the chance to meet positive and friendly people, this also always awakes my faith in humanity.
When I'm living somewhere, I like trying to be as nice and useful as possible with travelers I host.
