About Me

I am 32, from France, although my origins all trace back to Eastern Europe.
I guess I took my time to find my path in life. Or maybe society has just evolved into rushing souls into paths that do not correspond them.... It is fair to say I took the time to do things in my own pace...
I have always travelled a lot, lived in different places in my youth, and did various jobs until 25, such as social work, carpentry... as a mean to finance a couple of long travels to Asia that truly transformed my life...
I was lucky to meet many beautiful and inspiring people. Some truly touched me and had a significant impact in my life.
I laughed a hell of a lot so far but also went through a few storms, which is inevitable I guess but also necessary to grow. I played with fire sticks, burned myself a few times, asked myself a lot of questions, answered only few but they were important! I've known the joy of dropping everything behind to follow my intuition, I started things, abandoned others..... and so on.....
and then... well... found my way into becoming a therapist. So I studied Massage and Osteopathy for the following 5 years. Worked in Scotland then came to Romania to study Medicine and become a doctor, which will happen in a few years time.
I still need to work on an anger management issue with computers and electronic devices, but otherwise I think I'm a pretty nice guy! :)
I treasure the capacity to switch gracefully from deep conversation to happy stupid talk!

I feel like I still need to master the art of self description in a few lines. If such thing exist!
The sooner I can get out of this surreal electronic system and actually meet people, the happier I'll be!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want and hope to meet enlightening people on my path. I want and hope to be able to give them back as much as they give me. I hope we can inspire each other. For I don't thing one can ever do more or wish for more.

Interests

meaningful interactions. Again, and again, and again.
Of all kinds. Of all sorts. As long as they seed the potential for a transformative or evolutive experience.
