About Me

I consider myself positive, easy-going, funny, spontaneous and adventurous.

I love travelling and been hosted for many wonderful people some of them now friends so I host whenever I can, sometimes surf, and always up to meet new people and make new connections!

2023 Actualization: I am settling in France for a while, now free to meet up, travel and explore :)

I want to get new experiences, learn to understand the world, learning something new every day. Quoting to Descartes: "I would give everything I know for half of what I ignore" ("Je donnerai tout ce que je sais pour savoir la moitié de ce que j'ignore" )
I like to discover new books to read, good literature, philosophy, science, history, arts, novels ... New movies, and new music. I love art, painting, theater, poetry, photography...

I enjoy good conversations, talking about different things, politics, philosophy, culture, arts, science, traveling..
