CURRENT MISSION

on an unending quest to search for the other shoe

ABOUT ME

I consider myself a very easy-going, friendly and an intellectually curious person. A happy go lucky guy living his own life his own way

PHILOSOPHY

Calvin: Wow it really snowed last night! Isn't it wonderful?

Hobbes: Everything familiar has disappeared! The world looks brand-new

Calvin: a new year.. a fresh clean start!

Hobbes: It's like having a big white sheet of paper to draw on!

Calvin: A day full of possibilities!

Calvin: It's a magical world, Hobbes, ol' buddy..

Calvin: .. Let's go exploring!

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

I try to host or surf with people having a different background as to mine.. Even though we are all so alike, we are so different. I would like to gain a peak into how a person goes about his/her life and possibly gain some inspirations along the way.

“Sometimes I can feel my bones straining under the weight of all the lives I’m not living.”
—Jonathan Safran Foer, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host when appropriate. I prefer to host on the Weekends as it would give me more time to spend with the guests. Last minute requests or with a few days notice are most welcome. I tend to not know my plans two months in advance.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfing enables me to meet people from completely different walks of life whom I perhaps wouldn't have met otherwise.

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

Foooood! It started with me having to cook my own food and I grew to enjoy it. I consider cooking a grand occasion and like to experiment with my food. The results sometimes can have varying degrees of success. Currently improving my knowledge of North African cuisine.

When visiting a new place, I am more interested in the culture, the stories and the passions of its people.
