ABOUT ME

All about me?
I'd like to know!
I recently read that we can't travel to find ourselves. We actually build ourselves travelling.
I do agree. I didn't become the one I thought I would, when I came back from my first long journey. But wasn't the same either.
I do consider myself curious and ready for experience; but it doesn't mean that because I haven't done something stupid I will feel forced to do it.
I call it judgement.
I'm a man of good will, I'm hard working when I want something done, I am patient and curious, interested in many subjects, activities.
And I'm kind. I think it's important.

PHILOSOPHY

Happiness is the goal.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Trying to enjoy and discover

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've surfed quite a few couches befrore - and since - I registered with CS. And these experiences are among the ones I'll remember.
And now I have a chance to host! In a place where people do want to come! Which makes me really happy.

Interests

People (especially when we disagree and the discussion makes both of us progress in our reflexion), books (I'm done with newspapers), daily morning yoga, music (not all genres as some say but many different kinds), travels (especially the ones I haven't done yet), cultures (some more than others of course), books again, dancing (rock'n'roll, getting started with lindy hop, jazz swing and salsa), languages, love and friendship, ski, bush hicking, scuba diving, free diving, writing, and when I'm told about something I didn't even had the idea it existed. And books.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I think that to do what you want, and to be true to yourself, is quite amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

Always keen on improving my spanish and I'll be glad to help anyone really keen on learning french or english.
Why not getting started with Italian? Or German?, again!
I use to teach how to drive to many friends. My job is now to teach how to dive - I love it!
If their is a (veggie) receipe you think you master, tell me!
I love to cook, and you can either teach me or learn from me; share, mix, create!

Probably some things I could be helpful for, but I don't realise it.
Probably many things I'd like to improve or discover, but I'm not aware yet.
