About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Handstand for more than 1.3 second

ABOUT ME

I love to live experiences that allow me to explore beyond my limits.I love People, art, cinema, learn from other culture, and just learn in general. I've been traveling for a while in Europe, South America, Asia and Oceania. I just came back from New-Zealand after two years of pure bliss and had long long trip in south America just before, where I studied for a year and travelled for 8 months.

PHILOSOPHY

No guideline for me here. But I really love to share ideas, philosophy and stories!!! be carefull with me, sometime i don't know how to stop speaking about metaphysical mathers!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've surfed a lot in europe and south America and a bit in India, went to some CS meetings in montreal, Poland, India, I've been hosting since along with my 2 flatmates.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfing, hosting, cs mettings... all really good experiences so far!

Interests

old friends and new peoples, feeling, natures, cities, shraring, fire poi, fire staff, meditation, green tea, party (when i'm not in the vipassana-green tea mood) travel, surfing, spanish and improve my English and my spanish, tasting new food or things thats look like food, beach and surf, but most of the time just dreaming about beach by a -20c day of Montreal winter, asking question about what I don't know and what I know, studying in Uni and out of it, hiking in the rockies, Pyrenees, Andes and Himalaya for hours, days and weeks, hitch-hiking everywhere in Europe and Canada and south america. Being lazy, sleeping long hours doing sports, yoga, surf, biking, discovering and sharing music taste, movies, books, knowledge and ideas...

Music, Movies, and Books

I like many different type of music... not a big fan of hip hop, rap and popular american music. But i wont stop loving you if you do like it. I'm Movie lover as well, but I can be a bit picky sometimes.
Books: yes!! deeply marked by les bienveillantes, l'insoutenable legertee de l'etre (kundera), siddharta, and probably many others as well translated in french so you don't understand (of most of you don't) what i'm talking about.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sometime I fly!!

Then i wake up.

Teach, Learn, Share

Can teach poi, french, Spanish, how to play, and how to attach your shoes (but im not doing it for you!!)
I like spinning fire poi (or light poi when i must) I'm learning by myself right now and would be happy to learn some more or teach what I already know! Ive started fire staff recently as well. And for the General Idea of Teach learn Share... well... Of course! That's pretty much the best things there is about our life!
