About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Don't wait for Godot!

ABOUT ME

I'm, well, I'm trying to be as open minded as possible, trying not to take me seriously at all! I enjoy new meetings, learning something new every day (so be less or more stupid:)I grew up with three brothers, so it helped me to relativise many things... I enjoy my friends, modern art, architecture, playing piano, baking, eletronic music, sewing, travelling, parties and so on.. It would take ages to say who I am, and anyway it's a quite hard exercice.. let's do some suspense...

PHILOSOPHY

On the other hand you have different fingers

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Well, I'm a Csurfer..

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

All my experiences were great for the moment.. I met very different people from different backgrounds, had great moments, conversations... Discovered loads of things and places. I like the fact that, the time of meeting is so fast, that conventional barriers fall down quickly and it helps you to get more receptiv than usual...

Interests

I'm interested by other cultures, languages, trips, experimental music, cycling, roller-skating, swimming, sculpture (especially Brancusi and his neverending wodden towers), modern art, architecture, design, and theater (especially Ionesco et l'impro:). Generally I love things that don't really have sense, absurd stuff, Happenings!
