CURRENT MISSION

Trying to leave the world better than I found it.

ABOUT ME

I am curious about almost everything. I am adventurous and expect a lot from life, but I know life is what you make of it. I try to be happy, funny, and a good company to others.

PHILOSOPHY

There is no rule. We always have the choice. I am lucky to be alive.
Altough I enjoy travelling, I like Marcel Proust's opinion: " Le véritable voyage de découverte ne consiste pas à chercher de nouveaux paysages, mais à avoir de nouveaux yeux."
In english: "The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I spread the spirit among people I know and the ones I meet.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far I have been hosted three times and I hosted twice. Due to the nature of my previous work (I was working on boats), it was hard for me to host anyone! I am aiming at working on boats again but once I have my place I aim to have an "open door" policy. I attended only one CS event so far but I am looking forward to doing it more.

Interests

I am fond of sports and music. I like to practice all kinds of sports. I think it is great to develop teamwork, to feel more aware of our body and I like to challenge myself. I play the guitar. I go the cinema, to concerts, and like to do some stuffs I haven't done or haven't thought about. And I like animals. But I am also interested in people obviously!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Just few weeks ago (october 2015), I was part of the organization of an event called Bike!Bike!. This experience just had a big impact on my vision about life.

Some friends and I have joined the top of a small moutain in Bosa this summmer (2009), without planning the way we go. It was quite dangerous sometimes. On the way back to the beach, we found someone doing paragliding going back to his car, who gave me his keys telling me "You can drive my car" ,and explaining that he could fly to the beach, and that we would meet him there.
I had never seen someone that trustful.

Teach, Learn, Share

I think by talking, you often learn and sometimes teach without noticing.
That said, I can teach you tai chi chuan, a bit of tennis, or guitar, and maybe some other stuff that don't come to my mind. I can also teach sailing, but it might be less easy to find the right circumstances!
I want to learn parkour, which I already practiced a bit. Basically I am interested in learning anything that can help me to be in control of my body. Also I would like to learn gliding and paragliding. Even flying a plane, but one thing at a time...

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can provide you with a bike (lent or rented) so that I can show you around the city. I have cycled twice to Tequila and I can recommend other cycling tours out of town, even to some more remote places.
