About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Negation

ABOUT ME

Addicted to sugar and afternoon naps (usually because of too much sugar), optimistic, interested in all types of ideas and ideologies,personal development and travel obviously. Oh, and I'm not a fraction as serious as I might come across initially :P
Experience is what it's all about.

PHILOSOPHY

Question as much as possible, especially your own actions and motives. Be the process.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Hosted a couple of times, each experience was unique and thouroughly enjoyable..

Interests

Hmm,anything realy.There realy is something interesting about any subject if you just look close enough.I have recently rediscovered the joy of building Lego though..

  • traveling
  • chemistry

Music, Movies, and Books

Books i mostly go for are Sci-Fi orientated (they have the most interesting concepts).Stanislaw Lem is a favourite,Aldous Huxley isn't too bad either.Any kind of music that is well structured is cool no matter the genre,although i am a bit partial to some electronic stuff.Anything goes as far as movies are concerned,from anime to action,depending on the mood.Once again a bit partial to something that evoke some thought afterward.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was told i once jumped over a 6 foot wall in a single leap while being horridly inebriated.Taking my lack of agility into account i thought that was pretty amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

Learn:As much as possible, anyone/anything.
Teach:From a practical point of view i think extraction of plant materials and other chemistry/pharmacology related concepts is my best offer.I can also show you how to clap with one hand (so you'll know the sound ;P)

France, Germany, Italy, Mozambique, Namibia, Swaziland
