About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Life goal of understanding: answer those three questions:
1) Where I come from
2) Who I am
3) Where I want to go

ABOUT ME

Born and raised on a boat in the Caribbean, moved to France. Between studying technical sciences, business and sociology, I traveled and worked in New-Zealand, Barcelona, South America, Togo, China.

I got into yoga and spirituality during a long stay between India, Nepal and Thailand.

At the moment I'm back in France, living in Montpellier.

PHILOSOPHY

"Keep smiling" That could be my way of life.

I want to keep travelling, meeting people and try to find the right place for me in this world, trying to understand my "real me".
Life is life, not good, not bad, just life. From a Buddhist perspective (as far as I understood it) life is not about having good luck and hope for only good things happening in your life, but mostly learn to handle things in a positive way, keep going in any circonstences.

Just want to say to all this guys so busy in the subway, running around, pushing and fighting against each other:

"Hey dude, take it easy!"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I hosted some people when i was studying in Montpellier. I surfed sometimes while traveling.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I did couch-surfing in New-Zealand, China, Cezch republic, Ecuador and India. Really interesting to meet an other human from the same earth, with others goals, an other way of life, different origins, jobs, just different kind of people to resume!
But we have all the same purpose of life: making as much connections with as much people as we can from all around the globe. For a better understanding of ourself and a better understanding of others, of the world.
