About Me

I am constantly trying to understand the person I am facing. Trying to be as electic as possible.

Well, we may mutually fill out a Proust Questionnaire or any other crazy, random, shameless, out of the topic questions to try to get to know ourselves better. I think that we can easily discover ourselves in the words of someone else.

Studying philosophy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To find complementarity in strangers' life, in the sense that they do not think the way I do.
To discover the world through someone else's eyes.
To find inspiration.
To help other.
To laugh!

Interests

Literature may be one of my core interest (philosophy being part of it) and the other things help me to bear it.
Writting, listening, learning.

Otherwise, I also really enjoy spending time with new people, hanging around in a city (especially in the countryside), learning to do something, being somehow useful.

I also really like sports, especially trail running, ski-mountainerring, and badminton.

Maybe I should also mention a clown somewhere... but don't know where (to act as a clown, not to clown)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well, I tend to perform some antagonistic things and looking back at it, it seems pretty amazing ;)

But I shall tell you more about that once we will have met.

"A person is only possessed of liberty of thinking once she recognized and accepted the exposure to the danger of thinking". (D. Rougemont)

While submitting a hosting request, explain whether you think that the "amazing thing you have done" makes you an interesting person and state why.

Teach, Learn, Share

"Besoin de te voir pour parler de la vie avenir, de ton art, du mien (je ne sais pas trop lequel), j'aimerai que ce fût celui de la vie. " N.B-->T.V.

"Dass ein Leben ein wirliches Leben gewesen ist, es ist schwer zu sagen, worauf es ankommt. Ich nenne es Wirklichkeit, doch was heisst das! Sie können auch sagen: dass einer mit sich selbst identisch wird. Andernfalls ist er nie gewesen!" S.

I would love to learn to paint (or first to draw), to learn to play the piano and to dicover the relationship you have with these activities.

I could share with you my experiences and spend time to listen to you carefully.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Knowledge about the region and its beautiful viewing point (be ready to walk uphill). Other soft possibilities are also possible;)
Some time and some nice and (hopefully) puzzling discussions.
