About Me

ABOUT ME

I would say that I love to learn about everything; i'm curious and open-minded.

PHILOSOPHY

Knowledge is a weapon.
I live to learn from other people, other cultures... I enjoy to feel how much we all share, beyond the different paths we decided to take, a same common expectation: living in peace and in harmony with all our relatives

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosting and being hosted.
If it is during the week-end, I can make you a visit of Dijon, and we can take my car (typically french one: small, old, fairly safe) to go the vineyards or other beautiful parts of Burgundy.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Always had amazing experiences with very welcoming guys, having a communicative interest for their city and region, keening on sharing a part of their life with you.

Interests

Social sciences.
Team sports: rugby, football, handball
Travelling, especially bike trips.
I like cooking for people too.

Music, Movies, and Books

I read a lot... If I mainly read books and articles of sociology and economics for my thesis, I enjoy reading different kind of stuff in order to learn about the world we live in: newspaper (Le Monde); comics journalism (like Joe Sacco or Etienne Davodeau); novels (the last one: A bridge over the Drina, by Ivo Andric: great to discover the fascinating history of Bosnia from five centuries)
And, for me, the best, that makes me running to the book shop for every new publication: the "revue XXI"...
