PHILOSOPHY

"Question: Comment faire pour ne pas perdre son temps ?
Réponse: L’éprouver dans toute sa longueur.
Moyens: Passer ses journées dans l’antichambre d’un dentiste, dans une chaise inconfortable ; vivre à son balcon le dimanche après-midi ; écouter des conférences dans une langue qu’on ne comprend pas; choisir les itinéraires de chemins de fer les plus longs et les moins commodes, et voyager debout naturellement; faire la queue au guichet de spectacles et ne pas prendre sa place, etc."

"Question: How not to waste one's time?
Answer: Feel it in all its length.
Means: Spend one's days in the waiting room of a dentist, in an uncomfortable chair; live on one's balcony Sunday afternoon; listen to lectures in a language that one doesn't understand; choose the longest possible and least convenient train itineraries, and naturally, travel standing up; line up at the box office for concerts and then not take one's place, etc."

-Camus (La Peste)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted lots of people on couches, spare beds, camp mats, etc. over the years, although not many through CS yet. I had great CS experiences in Caracas, Venezuela; Stockholm, Sweden; and Kyrenia, North Cyprus.

Malgré mon inexpérience avec CS, depuis longtemps j'accueille du monde sur des sofas, lits, matelas de camping, etc. J'ai vraiment aimé les expériences de CS que j'ai eu à Caracas (Venezuela), Stockholm (Suède) et Kyrenia (Chypre du nord).

Interests

Music: Various regional music from all over the world, Minimal House and Electro, Experimental Electronic stuff, Hip-hop, Jazz, "Indie" Rock, Soul, some early punk.

I play guitar and a bit of keyboard and mess around with other instruments including an oud I purchased in Damascus. I also enjoy digital music production although my computer is flipping out lately and rendering this impossible.
