About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Heal the world, two persons at a time, starting with you and I.

At work, making decentralized applications vastly simpler, cheaper and safer to write and verify, in a portable way that will commoditize blockchains.

ABOUT ME

I've been to the best schools in France where I quickly learned that schooling doesn't matter much. Then I've been in the school of life, where I slowly learned to overcome my limitations and grow. I am still learning.

I value Honesty, Freedom, Creation, Beauty, Intelligence.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe all voluntary relations between consenting adults are legitimate, and all encroachment to such are illegitimate.

I believe we can always grow and learn to be better.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love traveling to meet new and interesting people. I enjoy architecture and museums a lot, too, which is also a way of meeting other people, through time and space.

I like being host as well as guest. I enjoy exchanging perspectives with the individuals I meet.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been host and guest of several interesting people, from many continents, several of them using this site. It's been all positive so far, and I'm looking forward to meeting more people!

Interests

Liberty and creation.
Music and words.

Liberating people's minds and hearts.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been in a few wonderful places, but the human mind is the most interesting space to visit.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach programming languages, mathematics, French, English, economic thinking.

I can sing a repertoire of jazz standards or whistle classical greatest hits. I occasionally write songs, but while melody is easy, lyrics are hard to me.

I like massaging. Can give a half-decent massage, and will enjoy learning new techniques.

I'd like to learn about becoming a better photographer, a better draughtsman, a better teacher.

I can discuss Liberty, (anti)Politics, the principles of Economics, Epistemology, etc. Or I can discuss programming languages and software engineering. Or I can discuss music, painting, history and architecture.

Countries I’ve Visited

Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, Czech Republic, England, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Scotland, Spain, Switzerland

Countries I’ve Lived In
