About Me

CURRENT MISSION

reach a balance between existentialism and epicurianism

ABOUT ME

French-American. Grew up on the French Riviera. Worked for 10 years in the Silicon Valley. Currently tinkering on startup projects back in the cradle. I have an unquenchable thirst for knowledge and science, cultures and experiences. I like to meet new people, share ideas and live to the fullest you can (while not sabotaging your future...). In the previous lives I was a poet, musician, adventurer, fashion patron, and it still kicks in once in a while ;)

PHILOSOPHY

planned opportunism, take care of the now and future will take care of itself! Trust in Allah, but tie your camel!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At this point I figure, I can host, build up some credibility, for when the time comes, and the north wind is calling me and I need to couch surf my way to Alaska! Or maybe Fiji Islands, they play rugby on the beach there, yeah!
