About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Meet people, share personnal experiences, continue to look for myself through the others and have fun because life is short.

ABOUT ME

Not all about me, but the beginning is that I've been a foreign student in US for a year and somehow I'm missing that time where I met new people everyday.

I waited for too long, waisted part of my time and now quit the time where I was waiting for tomorrow. I don't have any regrets (not my style to have), I am looking to go futher, using experience to do better.

I don't believe in god (not the one from any religion on earth), but I do believe. Believe in me, in humanity, in the strenght of willpower and goodwill. Believe that we haven't finish yet to discover unknown forces, that's let me dream...

I love sunshine, sunset and sunrise.

I like beers (grew up in Belgium) and wine (living in France)

Every day is a new day. That the way I am. When I wake up in the morning, I start the day from a blank page.

I worked as engineer in a team in charge of building industrial and research facilities. I like it, doesn't bother me to get up to go to work.

And now, after more then 20 years in France, i am taking another step in moving in England. New adventure.

PHILOSOPHY

Try to take it easy (I have so much chance to live how I am, no need to complicate thing's around). Just go simple

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

As i just moved, i won't be hosting right now, but still, my first experiences on CS were really nice and intersting so i want to keep it as a way to meet people

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Almost none.

A good friend at work keep telling me how much the meeting experience was interesting.

I like to meet people so I decided to go for it.

My ''almost none'' is growing up. My first experience hosting or surfing are great...

Interests

I like sports. I did lot of running but had to quit because hip trouble. Now, I am playing squash and badminton everyweeks.

I like the sea, the water. So, whenever it's sunny, I am ready to go to the beach.

I was living in a beautiful area (Luberon - Sainte Victoire - Provence - Marseille). I like to go walking and biking in the countryside.

I just start climbing (indoor and outdoor). one revelation. I like it, I love it a lot!!! Well That was a year ago. I hurt my shoulder and put an hold on climbing right now.

Would like to known how to dance all latino dances, so I've been working on it, but i am just a beginner

Next project : rebuy a motorbike for next spring

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

At 18, waking up in a american univertity, first time in US, almost no english : Sh*t, what am i doing here? Great feeling.

Bungee jumping, scared me to death but I jump in parachute after that.

Take in hands my kids are their birth!! Gee, what deep feeling.

At the airport, when my friend was going back forever in Australia, said that i would be there in a month as if it was next door...
