About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel/work/travel/work/procrastinate/travel/work

ABOUT ME

I'm probably like 99% of all the other cs members: I enjoy travels, talks and torturing small kittens. You know, the usual.
I think I'm kind of a nice person. And there's too much of a social stigma on torturing little kittens anyway.

PHILOSOPHY

Skeptic, Atheïst, Humanist. But with a huge need to learn new things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Surfed a couch, hung out with cs'ers and finally decided to put my own couch up for surfing.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Been a surfer and a uhm surfivisor. Both great experience.

Interests

art, science, music, graphic novels, guitars, drawing, writing, discussing, laughing, I love discussions and interesting talks. More the bar/talk kind of guy than the party/dance type. Interested in art (graphic, comic, literature) and science (pretty much anything interesting). Love traveling. Been to West AFrica, Laos, Colombia, the US and most of Western and Southern Europe, Australia, NZ,... . I'm not the most extrovert person but not too introvert to make social contact. Although I still have to master the art of just introducing myself to strangers. It probably all depends on the people I'm with.

Music, Movies, and Books

huge Paul Simon fan. Have hardcore/punk background but I softened up.
Pretty much not into techno and stuff.
I play the guitar. (if it's in a good mood)

I'm a big reader. Dan Simmons, Kurt Vonnegut, Paul Auster, Dawkins, Roth, Elton, Bill Bryson, DOUGLAS ADAMS! ...

Graphic Novels too!
And anything on small kitten torture.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

Cognitive dissonance and the attribution error.
The world would be a better place if everyone took them into account.
Also: use gloves when torturing small kittens.
