Overview
About Me
Hi everyone ! And hope to meet you one day :)
Currently travelling around after I quit my job, I want to see by myself what the world is made of, instead of living in front of a computer. I want to meet the world's people, share with them and discover their cultures, see how beautiful and exciting the world can be and finally find a way to make this planet a better place.
To simply describe myself: I am a curious and open-minded guy (I think), funny whenever he can, kind all the time. I love laughing, I love sharing, I love plenty of things !
I hope we will get along very well, as human relationships are what makes the world interesting and worthy to live in ! Plus nature, and of course desserts (too much a fan of this, if you can introduce me to one of your traditional desserts, I will be grateful until the end of my days !)
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Slowly starting to discover the community, but I want to get more experience as soon as possible since I love the concept :)
Interests
Cooking, music and volunteering are my main "hobbies" !
I love music: listening music of course, but also playing music (piano and guitar for now, I also have a harmonica with me on the road, but if you ask me to play some I warn you, I am terrible at it ! But still on the way to try to play it) and singing. I also love volunteering for diverse organizations that share my values, like help fighting poverty and discrimination, help fighting for nature rights, share cultures and so on. And for cooking, well I love to try out new recipes, from my own country but also from the countries that I visit, so I will always be up for shared cooking !
Aside these hobbies, I like talking about various stuff, like philosophy, sociology, politics, culture... I am always eager to learn new things and new facts / opinions !
And I am also a huge fan of board games, so don't even bother wondering if I want to play, I will always say yes !

Music, Movies, and Books
Films: "The Lord of Rings", "The Green Mile", "Pulp Fiction", "Fight Club", "The Shawshank Redemption", "Invictus", "Le Dîner de Cons", "La Cité de la Peur", "Parasite", a lot of Louis de Funes movies, Disney, "Inception"... I recently (re)watched a lot of Studio Ghibli movies, always a great thing to see !
Music: The Lumineers, Jean-Jacques Goldman, Stevie Wonder, Bireli Lagrène, Queen, Guns & Roses, Mumford's and Sons...
Livres: A bit of everything, I am the type of guy who will find books in 2nd-hand bookshops and get interested by reading the back cover ! But to give some examples: Bernard Werber, Paolo Coelho, classic litterature (Dostoievski, Camus, Giono,...), theater litterature, mangas...
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Climbing the Mount Kinabalu (4095.2m high) has been one of my most amazing experiences !
Taking care of children with special needs in Greece has also been, in an other way, one of my most amazing experiences.
Teach, Learn, Share
I like to learn in a lot of different fields : music, science... and I just can't stop learning, because I like it ! Lately I learned how to bake bread in a small farm / bakery, that was a greaaaat experience !
I feel like I don't have much to teach, but if you ask something maybe I will be able to help (mathematics, computer science, cooking, music maybe).
I can share my traveling experiences and some other things, depends on what you ask for !
What I Can Share with Hosts
I can bring beers ! And I can cook something or help you cook if you prefer :)
