CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy life, be part of the world, sail.

ABOUT ME

I've been a dreamer since childhood, and I still am.
Went to university for five years (pure mathematics), and eventually decided it didn't really fit the lifestyle as I was trying to build. That's when I took one gap year to think about me and my life (quite egocentric, isn't it ?), while repairing boats and teaching people how to sail as a volunteer. Trained and worked as a nurse after that, and just got qualified as a sailing instructor.

PHILOSOPHY

“Yesterday is but a dream, tomorrow but a vision. But today well lived makes every yesterday a dream of happiness, and every tomorrow a vision of hope. Look well, therefore, to this day. Such is the salutation to the dawn.” I do believe in it.
I also believe that it's possible for me (and a great amount of people) to decide to be happy : every morning is the beginning of the reste of my life, and I can (must ?) do what I want.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I do like the idea - sharing your home and who you are with perfect strangers.
This requires a lot of trust, and I'm happy to participate in something that builds trust, that makes people closer to one another.
Plus I enjoy sharing what I like, what I think, and to talk and debate about it, especially with people who have little in common with me, who had completely different lives and thus who have different points of view !

And the best part of Couchsurfing :

兴趣

Climbing, sailing (a lot, and a little more), swimming, walking, cycling...
Reading (a lot), listenning to good music, watching movies.
Anything that can be done with friends (parties, good meals, holidays, movies, sailing again...).
The sea when the sun shines, the sea when it's raining, the sea during a storm... the sea :)

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

My first night offshore - perfect moonlight, perfect starlit night, perfect wind & sailing...

教，学，和分享

I can easily share some mathematics knowledge, basics elements of english, some computing tricks, climbing essentials, a great part of sailing.

I'm interested in learning (almost ?) anything, from basic practical stuff to highly intellectual and abstract concept. And, of course, I really wanna know about you ! My current learning hobbies are juggling, spanish and slacklining.
