Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
We have to laugh because laughter, we already know, is the first evidence of freedom.
ABOUT ME
I recently moved to Paris after spending nearly 4 years in Ireland and a couple of years in Asia.
PHILOSOPHY
"I got off the train and met a stranger...I got back on the train and said goodbye to a friend".
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Being part of this lovely 'country' that is 'Couchsurfing'... I'm here since 2009!
Interests
Cinema, Philosophy, Traveling,...
Music, Movies, and Books
I have diverse influences as I am a curious person. I'm a huge fan of cinema, especially of Asian cinema. If I had to choose 5 names I would pick Chow Yun-Fat, Johnnie To, Nicolas Winding Refn, the Coen Brothers and Zhang Yimou.
As for books I read a lot about Chinese and Asian history, but also some classics such as Nabokov, Camus, Kerouac...
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Having a nap on the Great Wall. Having a 8 hours taxi-ride from Shanghai to Nanjing. Visiting Naypyidaw, the "ghost capital" of Myanmar.
Teach, Learn, Share
I'm always up to have languages exchanges (my French-English for your Chinese-English !)
