ABOUT ME

Self-centered and awful man, I have been travelling around the world with the aim of improving myself and finally being the best man i could be. I failed, so i went back home, with no real plans. I'm going where the wind takes me.
I laugh a lot, and i love it. I love to eat and to drink with friends. I like to discuss about everything that i don't know yet. And i like also share things i know, my friends say that i'm pretentious, i'll rather say that it's because i love to learn, so i try to exchange.

I've finally been granted the right to attend lessons in a photography school in Brussels, le 75! I'm really proud and excited about the three years forecoming!

No problem about copy pasting your couch requests, even if when it's personal it's always more appreciable.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm trying to live the life i want without hurting people. Sometimes it doesn't work, then i learn.

Sinon, je suis pas une mouille.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm kind of busy between school and work, but if I come across your request at the right time and my flatmates are okay for you to crash at my place, you're more than welcome! I live in a big apartment in Molenbeek-Saint-Jean with lots of space, a nice terrace, a big kitchen and a beautiful garden. If there's room, you'll have your couch, maybe even your own bed…

Do copy paste your couch requests I know what it is to seek for somewhere to sleep in a big city.

Music, Movies, and Books

Too much, let's talk about that in real.

Resuming, i'm (too much) in Rap music, especially french, while i enjoy also Electronic music, Funk music, Reggae, Dub, Rock n Roll (old and new school) Rockabilly, Jazz... I like every kind of music since it moves me.
Don't speak me about commercial soup, it fits only when i'm drunk enough.

About books, i read essentially detective stories. I never choose a book, it chooses me. I see it on a shelf in an Ukrainian Hostel, my mother or my aunt advices me, that's how it works. To improve my english, I read Harry Potter. I discovered Mihkail Bulgakov during my trip, and i loved him! Russian author in general, but Bulgakov in particular! Alxander Soljetnitsyne became also a huge reference for me. Still french authors are important : Boris Vian, Philippe DJian.

Same for Movies, i'm not so much in Hollywood stuff, i can enjoy some if i don't want to think.

I love museums. I could go to a museum every day if only i had the budget! My favourites are : Beaubourg, Halle StPierre and the european house of photography in Paris. The Maegt Foundation in St Remy de Provence.

As i said, I have a big scale of interesting, and it always grows with the meeting i do...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Partied in a museum, Fought in a rice paddy(so basically buffalo pooh) in Nepal, Had a snowball battle in Beijing, Vomit in a Mongolian ger, and cleaned it without tube water, Walked on the Baikal Lake, Made a 2 meters high ceramic column. More to come i think!

Teach, Learn, Share

Nothing for the moment, i'm still learning all i can, and i'm a very bad pedagogue.

I can teach you how to juggle with three balls,
how to speak french,
how to cook some dishes i love,
how to appreciate french rap,
how to make a good whisky sour,
how to take pictures,
