About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I'm STILL trying to do what Borges tell us in "Moments" ( thanks to a couchsurfing request I just learned that actually moments incorrectly attributed to Borges so let say Mister or Miss X)

PHILOSOPHY

I'm still trying to find it. So all i can say, i'm searching for a critique, and non-solipsist philosophy which will help me to understand the world and -maybe- to "change it". For the moment i try to understand Bruno Latour he seems interesting but not so critical to me :p

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

CS was one the few things which gives me hope but with these changes, "company ABC" issue, advertisement etc. I start to feel that commercialisation of CS will also influence -in bad way- CS community and if there is such a thing CS sprit. Otherwise i still think that the idea of opening your house door to a people that u didn't met before without any financial commercial intention is just great and a very enriching experience for both side

Interests

Social sciences, social movements, idioms, expressions, philosophy, style of living (mode de vie), etc.

Music, Movies, and Books

Films of Wes Anderson, Costa Gavras, François Ozon. And also Brazil, La cité des enfants perdus,etc.
Books: "The Dispossessed: An Ambiguous Utopia" , "1984","Brave New World","Fahrenheit 451" All ihsan oktay anar books, "L'étranger" de Camus...
Music: Depeche Mode, Daft Punk, Violeta Parra, Villagers, Milky Chance, Mano Solo....

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

why CS start to force us to "improve" our profile ? PLS CS let us free to express our-selves!

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: i can teach you the art of "how to be not sure of anything" which is not very useful , some basic juggling, some turkish words which can be useful in turkey, how to ook tasty rice, basic steps of rumba..

Learning: it's depend on you. But in general i'm
curious about living styles, cultural and social difference and similarities , expressions which doesn't exist in other languages.
