About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Toulouse, end of school year/

ABOUT ME

25 years old, french guy, english speaking (mid level). Open-minded, but also determined to push forward my opinions, wich I'm often speaking about.
Enjoy friends meetings. Like to chill out and appreciate people with a sense of humor. Have a sarcastic way to see life.
Not that much of an optimist but seek beauty and hope in everyday life, feel good when outside doing things. Believe in mankind despite everything it does wrong, or it doesn't do to be more precise.
I'm searching projects to put myself on, as I enjoy building things for the community, and people's daily use. Interests for culture, customs and beliefs, arts (litterature, paintings, music...)

Not an invasive buddy!

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoy life, seek simple pleasures and beauties while respecting other people rights to do so.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Food shops, cooking and cleaning are no problems.
Host whenever is possible.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Hosted two couchsurfers last january in Toulouse. They contacted my roomate and friend Aude Marissal. Irish guy and an american girl who stayed with us for 3-4 days. Stayed with a csurfer in Canmore canada, but also like to meet some people randomly and stay with them.
Csurfing is a great idea but i like to rely on spontaneous stay offers.
Have a lot of community living experiences, though never needed couchsurfing before: I always met someone or knew someone who could host me (even in the most rural areas of New Zealand).

Interests

I am following a teacher curse to work in education.
Interested in a lot of human creations domains such as litterature, music, paintings and arts in general.
Like surrealistic movements, surrealistic moves, non-conform attitudes. Like the searchings on human being, therefore read a lot of books. Follows politics and environmental issues.
Would like to see humans find a way to free themselves, developp and express smart and numerous opinions. Try to apply this to myself as much as I can.

Music, Movies, and Books

LOADS
Keen to discover english litterature
Play bass guitar (low level), listens a lot of different things. Reggae, blues and french hiphop is my background.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelled in Vanuatu for one month on July 2009, climbed a volcano with ten children, lived on my friend's island along with a french bro' and a german dude met in the plane and who had nowhere to go, sang their vanuatu songs and ate a lot of good things. Amazing people, amazing places, boats to get to the islands, walks through the bush and valleys of ashes down the volcano.
Hitch-hiked through New Zealand for 4 months, slept at the most beautiful places I've ever seen (on a hamac facing Mitre Peak at Milford Sound), great times with great people from everywhere, never forget those moments.
Feel like a lot of moments in my life were important, in various ways, some are sad and others joyful. Let life continues.

Teach, Learn, Share

Special knowledge in history, politics (French and international), french language, good authors to suggest.
Knows a bit about juggling, cooking, cooking while juggling...
