About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Life is too short to waste time, taking life easy and enjoy it

ABOUT ME

Do not trust what is writen nearby about my age, I am also sometimes 10 years old now. Wich on average is something like 23 or 24y old :)

I am a crazy french guy who spend all his childhood 2km far from German border. Do not ask me how many times I was abroad, I do not remember. :) I went to work in germany one summer as a young adult, crossing border twice a day, yes commuting over the border is quite commun in my home region, and when I was a teen, I was used to go all the summer in the swimming pool in germany, by bike :) And did I mentionned that as a kid with primary school we went from our village to the nearest town in germany by feet along the Rhine River, just guessed who proposed this idea to the teacher

I have two legs, two arms, one trunk, and one head. But I do sometimes loose it.

I do not know what to write here. Thus :)

PHILOSOPHY

Carpe Diem

Somo moto
* Life is too short to waste time, taking life easy and enjoy it
* A 1000km journey starts with one step
* If pig could fly, I would be the flight leader

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have done quite crazy things with Couchsurfing, I cannot write everything :)

In 2010, I have hosted twice two people for one day in Stara Zagora despite working quite a lot on a construction site and while staying in an appartment hotel

I organised the first CS meeting in Knoxville, TN, while still being in France. I really meet great people there.

I helped CS public relation by finding some way to get what they were looking for. a picture of an american surfing on a couch :-)
