CURRENT MISSION

To try out as many indian vegetarian recipes as I can: Save the planet by eating well!

ABOUT ME

I am quite open about meeting people from all over the world. I am a ferocious reader, I like funny discussions just as well as in-depth ones. My sense of humour could be qualified from dry to sarcastical, I am a fan of cooking, especially organic food, chatting over a glass of wine, music from all around the world...

PHILOSOPHY

Either we learn to live toghether as brothers, or we'll die toghether like idiots. (Martin Luther King)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

surf, host, share whatever necessary, translate, ...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I hosted several people last year and it was great. I surfed some couches in Toulouse, a great experience!

Interests

I am interested in various things: first of all arts, languages, culture. I have quite a soft spot for discussing chaos theory, game theory, string theory, and other theories I don't quite fully understand. I love books, especially eastern european literature, but I love graphic novels too, and I'm very keen on watching the news.

Music: I like a lot of different stuff. I'm really into klezmer jazz at the moment, I listen a lot to balkan brass&electro, and I love classical music, especially Bach, Händel and other less known, long-forgotten ones like like Ruiz Samamiego.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Today, returning home from work by tube, I saw the face of the tube driver in the rear mirror, it was more beautiful than any renaissance painting: a portrait of humanity, incredibly touching.

Teach, Learn, Share
