Présentation
À propos de moi
CURRENT MISSION
Change the world !
ABOUT ME
I never really knew how to do that... Let's say I'm an open-minded guy, curious and friendly with people, quiet and collected when alone, wild and stupid when having fun :)
PHILOSOPHY
Live and let live.
The world is what you make of it, even if you cannot change the whole world by yourself. Be responsible for your actions and act with others as your heart commands, not as others command.
Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Well, nothing much for a loooong time. I'm just back, I have a new place in which I could host so... We'll see what happens next.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
A few meetings in Japan then a few hostings in Paris back in 2011.
Centres d'intérêt
Kung fu wushu (Tang Lang Taiji Meihua)
People, their lives, their hopes, their interests
Music, especially rock from the 70's
Games (video or traditional - more or less ! ;))
Society, how we fit in it, what we do to change it (or not)
All kind of sports
And many many more...

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue
Nothing much.
Maybe hosting for the night a Dutch guy met on the street at 3 AM on December 26th. It was minus something and he asked me the direction to the exit of Paris to hitch-hike back to Netherlands since he got robbed and had no more money.
Or maybe breaking the rules of my workplace by keeping on meeting with a refugee that was granted asylum until he had a place to sleep at night.
Enseignez, apprenez, partagez
Can teach a bit of kung fu (though there is no quick and easy way into mastering anything in kung fu - no dark side of the Force here ;)) and always willing to share with other people. I guess there are other things I could share but none comes to mind at the moment.
Interested in learning surf, Japanese, Chinese, Arabic, Russian and many other things.
Ce que j'aimerais partager avec mes hôtes
With "hosts" it says ! Silly me !
Well, I guess it's pretty much written above.
And a good talk about politics, games (there are a lot of cool games out there !), life in Paris, and life in general. Nothing too unusual :)
As for guests, my schedule is kind of crazy.
I regularly work over hours (especially in winter time), I practice kung fu on mondays and fridays nights, teach it on tuesdays and wednesdays so... A good talk now and then, boardgames if you're into that, a few drinking spots...
A room with a view on a park :)
Pays que j'ai visités
Benin, China, Japan, Western Sahara
Pays dans lesquels j'ai vécu
France
