ABOUT ME
I'm curious and happy to have the opportunity like human to grow up and to try to take care of the earth and of the life! I'm a wood craftsman and architect who like to do tree houses. I'm always very insterested to know new ways of life and to meet new people because life is short and there are a lot of good things to see, to do and to share here!
PHILOSOPHY
"The unexamined life is not worth living". Socrates
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I'm sure that to meet people from all the world is the best way to open your mind. Traveling and sharing is an amazing experience to grow up and develop empathy. When I'm traveling I want to meet local people. It's the best way to discover a new culture and all the characteristics of another land.
The couchsurfing is totally in agreement with my idea of what should bring us the trip, for the host and for the visitor.
Interests
I like to make projects and to realize them. I have a passion for wood since the tree until the differents possibilities to use it: to build, to play, to eat, to cure... I'm very interested in the minimalism and in all responsibles behaviours (cradle to cradle, organic food, sustainable construction...) I love the dynamic governance (sociocracy). I like to share about the educational approach like Montessori, constructivism or forest school.

Music, Movies, and Books
I like a lot of music (listen and making); my musical tastes are very eclectics! I like minimalist electro music (Akin Sevgor, Aphex twin...), art rock (Pink Floyd, King Crimson, Alt-J, Radiohead...), post rock (Battles, Explosion in the sky...), nu jazz (Kyoto jazz massive, GoGo Penguin...), dub (Zenzile, Stand high patrol...) and more! Caetano Veloso, Tom Zé, Chico science, Ibrahim Maalouf, Nosfell, Queen, Jacques Brel, Georges Brassens, Patti smith, New order, Tiken Jah Fakoly...
I love literature: "Journey to the end of the night" by Celine, "On the road" by Jack Kerouac, "The baron in the trees" by Italo Calvino, "1984" by George Orwell, novels of Guy de Maupassant...
I like independent cinema.
