ABOUT ME

Hey, I am a STEGOPHILE (I love climbing on anytype of roofs), a BIBLIOMANIAC (I love and accumulate books, and I am quite unable to throw one away) and I am the most beautiful, extraordinary, interesting person you'll ever meet, so come and meet me, it is time for you to experience amazingness!

I may appear as a shy person, but it's only a false idea my face gives you sneakily. You could even notice that I can be totally crazy, and above all, thirsty for adventures !!!

I kind of really like stupid PUNS and CLIMBING ON THINGS when I'm drunk, it makes me feel whole (even though people don't get why). I really like hummus and my favorite word is "clavicule" (along with "palimpseste"^^).

I like my tomorrows not to look like one another, and I like not to know what I will be doing tomorrow, where I will wake up, what my eyes will see.

PHILOSOPHY

I think the only thing we have to do is to put FEAR aside and go forth ! No matter how hard it is, because travelling is worth it.

And as Goethe said :
"Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back-- Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth that ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now."

And also I like the greek letter φ !

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe that travelling is not only discovering places, but above all discovering people, and discovering places throught the eyes of the people who live there. Couchsurfing gives you this possibility. It's a piece of humanity in this world of consumism and capitalism. There's no money exchange and this changes everything ! The only things that flow are knowledge, culture, stories, smiles :)
God bless COUCHES, they are the most usefull, sharing and friendly objects in the world, maybe behind BYCICLES !

Interests

I love to wander in cities and just open my eyes. I'm also fond of wandering in the mountains, of caving, of hitch-hiking, of climbing and of TRAVELS BY BIKE.
I often go to music and cinema festivals, and I like to visit museums or photograph exhibitions. I spend a lot of time in theaters and cinemas and I also like to make my own small movies.
I love to read, write, listen to music, but I'm above all fond of outside activities and I'm always ready to try new things !

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been chased by an penguin !

I was stuck in an albanian forest for one day and one night cause the van was bogged down in the mud...

I went to the wrong airport (I'm such a mess) but in the end managed to get my flight !

10 years ago, with my family (we are 6) we made a one year bycicle trip around Europe. It changed my life.
