About Me

Hi!
This CS profile is fairly old (more than 10 years old…) and I have changed a lot since it was created.
I recently changed the name and gender, as my name and my gender have changed in the past years.

I also want to say that I want to avoid using couchsurfing because of its new terms of use, which basically says whatever you put on their website is theirs. They can sell our data, mine our data, make a lot of money from it (with ads notably), and participate in the global profiling thing, which I hate more than pretty much anything. Instead, I prefer the use of BeWelcome. I'll never host again through CS, but I may be available through BW :)

ABOUT ME

I'm trying to fight against all kinds of oppressions currently being done all over the world, ie racism, sexism, ableism, transphobia, homophobia, ageism, and of course, the huge class-war.

I don't like "non-said" things, like those bad situations when you don't know what is happening...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I use to living in squats in Rennes, nice places with nice people, pretty strong in the struggles, ready to discuss about things and why not talk about revolution :)
In other places I was before, we've been hosting between 10 and 20 people.

I have been hosted a lot during travels : in Russia, Thailand, Cambodia, Indonesia, Australia, the Maldives, and probably other places. There were not that much CS in China and Laos, but we always found a place to sleep !

Interests

(haha this list is a very old one!)
Struggles (yeah, basically I hate capitalism and all the things it creates and it's based on), travelling, computing, juggling, unicycling, solving the rubik's cube, playing guitar and some other instruments, bilbostyling, hitchhiking, and much more!

Teach, Learn, Share

what could i teach you ?
how to solve a rubik's cube :)
IT stuff : I would be glad to fix your computer, introduce you to Linux, explain you how an email travels from your computer to your correspondant's...
juggling
music skills
other small stuff i don't have in mind right now!

i also do webhosting, so if you know someone who would like to have his website hosted on a "pay as you feel" service, contact me !

what i wanna learn? hum, what could you teach me?!
I would love to learn songs to sing a cappella, 2 or 3 voices, or basically any kind of music tricks would be great :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Politics philosophy, dumpster diving (=getting nice free food from the bins), whatever :)
This section is pretty much the same as the one right up!
