About Me

first things first; I'm in love with music and dance! when my body needs music... always lucky to find the best rave in the town to dance until the next morning. let's catch the rhythm together!

I was born a caterpillar, but now I'm radically transforming into a butterfly 🦋 This transformation is why I look different in each photo; it's a way to express my inner change.

I am a non-binary human being seeking sincere connections 🌈 I like awakened souls with free minds.

---- above could be enough but if you wanna spoil yourself more;

Oh, what do I do for a living? I'm a software engineer. I love the creative aspects of coding and enjoy discussing artsy community projects.

I'm a huge fan of skiing. I love being on top of the mountains and lying down among the trees. Every winter, I explore a new mountain, recent years mostly around the French Alps.

Cycling and solo climbing are big passions of mine. I dabble in many sports, including bouldering, boxing, football, basketball, tennis, table tennis, badminton, and swimming.

More about cycling? Absolutely! I love traveling by bike and often follow nature cycling routes (mostly EuroVelo) to explore new countries and cities. If you're into long cycling trips, let's plan an unforgettable tour together!

I enjoy camping, hiking, yoga, and breathing in nature. Spirituality and psychology are significant parts of my identity. I do vipassana every year in a sacred place for me, and live in a tent over a month. If you're interested in the psychedelic world, I'd be happy to talk about it. I've organized safe ceremonies in nature with professional support.

I love exploring life with others, opening doors to different levels of nirvana. Being in silence together to hear our inner voices and reaching a state of contentment is something I cherish. I enjoy discussing Zen and tantric life and am happy to share all I know.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

`Life is a journey that must be traveled no matter how the roads and accommodations.`
Oliver Goldsmith

The meaning of my name is "being generous," that's why I love sharing—whether it's food, music, thoughts, or beautiful moments.

I enjoy creating and sharing an ambiance where everyone feels accepted, even in our unique and quirky ways. I believe that by allowing ourselves to be silly together, we can free our minds and connect on a deeper level.

Vitality and creativity require patience. I like giving things time and discovering how we can find harmony with everyone/everything around us.

Music, Movies, and Books

Some people only see what's in front of them; others watch, some deeply observe, and some connect to it. I love discussing music, books, and movies in person for this reason, but I'll share a few names to give you an idea of what resonates with me on my journey nowadays.

Books:
Polysecure: A profound exploration of attachment theory without the constraints of mononormativity.
Musical Human: A history of music that delves into how it connects us on a transcendent level. Music and dance should be part of our daily lives; I believe in active participation, not passive listening.
Carlo Rovelli: A wonderfully romantic physicist whose perspective on current science surpasses even Carl Sagan's in my eyes.
I could put many philosophy and pyschology books here but it can be too long :)

Directors:
Darren Aronofsky: A brilliant director who creatively incorporates Gaia analogies.
Ruben Östlund: Each of his films is a masterclass in crowd storytelling.
Hayao Miyazaki: His work embodies Zen, showing how it can be transformed into art.

I could go on, but let me end with a few quotes that serve as mantras for me:

You're only given one little spark of madness; you mustn'y lose it.
- Robin Williams

The ideal place for me is the one in which it is most natural to live as a foreigner.
- Italo Calvino
