I am very curious, spontaneous and optimistic. I like to understand things but also able not to try :)
My life has been joyful so far, so I am just trying to enjoy every single sip of it like you try to enjoy a very precious glass of wine.
I was born and raised in Paris and was lucky to live in different places.
I graduated in sustainable energies science, and now am in the useful possession of a PhD in solar energy but decided to do electronic music instead of saving the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I am abroad, it's a unique way of getting in touch with a culture and find friends when it's not always easy.
When I'm home, it's the best way of travelling !

Interests

science (physics chemistry maths, and "metascience")
theater (play, scenery, spectator, improvisation : I co-animate some weekly workshop in Paris : feel free to join ! we also do two shows a month)
museum (classic, contemporary, modern, potato, anything)
philosophy, ethnology, anthropology, politics, debates, brainstorms, thunder storms
MUSIC : I play a lot, originally the harp, and now guitar, ukulele, vietnamese guimbarde. I am also learning lyrical and jazz singing, and do a lot of free improvisation.
I've started producing music 3 years ago, about 30 songs so far from weird comedy techno to concrete music and sound landscapes, or trip-hop or unqualified stuffs, you can check my soundcloud : https://soundcloud.com/duudinka
dance (tap, swing, house, African dance)
ecology and alternative way of considering our environment/interactions with each other.
cooking (I love to cook AND eat)
