About Me

I'm a peaceful and tolerant person. I think that the respect is the most important human value. My philosophy is the compassion.

I like to learn about all, i love to know new things. I like enjoy with simple things when i have good company. I have a good sense of humor, laughter is the best medicine.

I'm a Civil Designer in the mining industrie, but my passion is the music. I have two musical projects "Baikonur" (post-rock/alternative) and Æterna (alternative rock/metal).

"Je ne suis pas d'accord avec ce que vous dites, mais je me battrai jusqu’à la mort pour que vous ayez le droit de le dire." / "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it."

- Voltaire (or Evelyn Beatrice Hall)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
