CURRENT MISSION

Enjoying life after 3 years 1/2 for a bloody PhD

ABOUT ME

Simple guy loving simple things.
I have no ego (or so few), I don’t take myself seriously, I love laughing, I have plenty of self derision, and I like teasing a little bit.
I’m really curious about what people are, what they are doing, where they come from, what they like and hate.

I’m “stuck” in France for 3 years for my work, so please, come and make me travel across your stories !

PHILOSOPHY

I discovered that it is really hard to live ignoring the world which surround us. Thus knowing and understanding it is the best way to find my place. I think that we have to respect what people are, even if we don’t agree with what they are. They are a part of this big thing.
During my travels, I met plenty of people who were so generous and warm. They had no reason to welcome me as they did, but they did it, and teached me how to receive it.
So I think it is now my turn, now that I am settled in a place for more than few monthes, where I can hosted people

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
