Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Experiencing new stuff.
ABOUT ME
I'm a really simple, optimistic, rational, laid-back type of guy. I like to learn new things, meet new people, having good times with people I already know, have a good laugh. Unlike some characters from series that I like (see below), I do get sarcasm (and like it). I tend to be really transparent and I trust people, there's something you wanna know, tell me what you have in mind.
I also happen to have a Psych degree, but be sure, I don't read people's minds. Not even sure I'd like to. Would you?
And, none the less, I'm a deadly baby-foot (table soccer) player. You've been warned.
PHILOSOPHY
"The shoe that fits one person pinches another; there is no recipe for living that suits all cases."
Carl Jung
"Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness. It is far better take things as they come along with patience and equanimity."
I'm mostly about living and letting others live. If I'm not okay with something, I may argue a bit, but in the end... if it doesn't hurt anybody and makes people happy, who cares?
As the Jung quote tells, I also seek balance. You can get too much of a good thing, and sometimes, bad events are there to make you remember to put things in perspective.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
For the moment my roommates host people from CS, but I end meeting most of the couchsurfers and have good times.
I expect to travel this summer and use CS to meet cool people and locals.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Looking forward to it! Didn't travel very much so far (work & studies can make a pretty bad combination), but it's definately in my plans.

Teach, Learn, Share
I can show a very cool guitar song called the "frog blues" (Le blues des grenouilles)
Cooking-wise, I'm not a stranger to making sushis, and although it's been a long time, I make good paella.
Oh, and I can show you how to make a chainmail armor. Not so useful unless you're LARPing or else!
