About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I am an idealistic guy who wants to save the world...

ABOUT ME

I like above all the human contact , the leasure of spending a whole afternoon/evening/night discussing with others. I know everybody can say that but, anyway, i think that i'm well behaved and easy-going.

And as said in my current mission, I want to help significantly to improve the situation in regard with the 3 main material issues that the people (the world) will have to face : global warming, water ressources and energy supply.

PHILOSOPHY


When is the last time

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I definitively diffuse the website and its spirit to all my friends. I surf a bit and as soon as I can, I'll host. In your request title write 'warm milk'.

But I have to say that I believe that CouchSurfing is not only about free hosting, it is about meeting people also. So if you're just looking for a free accomodation, you'd probably try another CSer than me.

If you are considering to host me in your room, you might want to know that I tend to snore. How terribly? I don't know, but some cannot sleep with snoring at all, so I'd better tell you up front.

Music : I've played piano for 13 years and tried harmonica for 13 minutes... I listen mostly original soundtracks (music of movies), orchestral.
Movies : french comedy and everything which makes me think, wonder, guess...
Books : I don't find the time to read, even if I like it.
Sports : tennis, tennis table, basket, running, hiking, climbing, snowshoeing, frisbee (don't laugh, it can be really tiring!)...
TV : i love series (heroes, house, the big bang theory, two and a half men, how i met your mother, stargate(s)...).
Request : answer to my personal philosophy in your request.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I wait for you to help me to fill the next one. But so far I've already:
- met a chinese guy for whom I was the first foreigner ever,
- watched the sunrise on Seongsan (South Korea),
- wander in Dubaï by 45°C (=113°F),
- played with children in Hampi (India),
- spoken homosexuality with a stranger in New Dehli (India),
- sung in a bus full of christians and given food to poor people between Hessaragata and Bangalore (India),
- snowshoed on a frozen lake (Charlotte's lake, BC, Canada)
- had a skinnydip mid january into the pacific ocean by a rainy night...
What's next ?

My dream would be to cover (travel) the whole world while no polluting at all, or at least poluting the less I could do (no plane would be already a huge step). So far i've done:
Create your own visited map of The World

Teach, Learn, Share

Magic tricks (just a bit, honestly). Some stuff about energy in the world. Many things about atmosphere/global warming. Lots of things about sustainable development. I don't say that I am a good teacher or that I am good at, just that I am really interested in. Oh and I can also show you how to blow an egg...(true story).
