About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Visit the world and all its beauty

ABOUT ME

I'm a big fan of music. I play the piano, guitar, bass, saxophone and I love to touch every instrument I meet.

I love sports, I've played soccer, basketball, ping pong, tennis... and I'm ready to do any others sport! Currently, I play squash, fitness, running, stand-up paddle, body board, tennis.

I have lived half my life in foreign countries such as Haïti, Kazakhstan, Pakistan, USA and Hong Kong. Currently living in France and soon moving to Vietnam.

PHILOSOPHY

Make love, not war.

I am mostly Stoïcien.

Everyone of us has to find happiness in him/herself. No one else can bring it to you. Live a life rich in experiences, in friendships and love.

Therefore, my ultimate purpose in this life is to help people find their inner happiness so that they can spread that hapiness and even help other people find theirs.

I believe this world is a very complex world but very primitive. One day, technology will enable people to focus more on the spiritual aspect of life rather than it's physical needs.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I haven’t been active for quite some time now because I’ve been focused on my career. But I wish to reconnect with people in a very human way. I know how great the Couchsurfing community is.
