CURRENT MISSION

I'm surely interested of a better world with less war and more love and better communication between real humans, not barbarians.

ABOUT ME

That would take a full book... I have travelled a lot and live in many countries. Now I live in Cambodia and I love it here. You are welcome to meet me, just send me a note through Email and I'll see what I can do to help.
I'm interested in photography (I've been professional photographer for 15 years - see some of my work at http://www.flickr.com/photos/bruno-lhoste/) and also worked as an election observer in many countries for the European Union and the UN.

I have done a few photography books and many shows around the world. I do not have a specialty, all subjects could be interesting, I like colors, special light and strange shape. I love taking picture of people in their daily life. I'm also working on creative digital art.
I practice Vipassanna Meditation, I think it's a wonderful way of life.

PHILOSOPHY

Living my life the best possible, helping people around me (only if they want to be helped...) and staying close to nature as much as possible.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm open to anyone for discussion, creative work or more... Up to you! Have been sharing my experience on Cambodia (15 years here...)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had some great experience in India, met some very helpful people there. Back home, a few people came to share some time with us and it was fun. I cannot always say yes to everyone because I'm quite busy but I do my best and always answer the mail. I'm relatively new to CS but I have practiced CS all my life, sharing or swapping houses with friends or, sometimes, total strangers. Never had a bad experience...

Interests

Photography (you can see some of my photographs on http://www.flickr.com/photos/bruno-lhoste/), travel, unknown worlds (inside and outside)and anything new (that's a lot isn't!!)
I love mountains, Himalaya is the best of all...
I like to be closed to nature, many animals in my place, love birds specially, always want to be a bird myself (no success yet...)

Music, Movies, and Books

Everything as long as it's GOOD or better...
All time favorite: Everything Carlos Castaneda ever wrote about shamanism. The best ever but if you know of anything better, please let me know!
I also recently discovered Jeremy Narby avec "The cosmic snake" and "Intelligence in nature" 2 wonderful books.
There is 18,000 MP3 on my computer, music from all over the world that I'm more than happy to share

Teach, Learn, Share

There is always something to learn and the older I grow the more there is to learn.
