About Me

CURRENT MISSION

finished thesis. one year in Greece. then traveling again. peace

ABOUT ME

Well,If I was outside my body and followed me around for a week, I would say that I am honest, got a sense of humor with a wide range, can be serious but a party animal at the same time, brain stimulated, citizen of the world, a person involved in many activities that have to do with giving back to the community... all of these in any given order

PHILOSOPHY

Home is where my couch is, and I take my couch everywhere!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Interests

Music is my passion, I dj from time to time. Traveling is an awakening experience (the journey can be to a place on the planet or inner, spiritual). I love being a bon-viveur as I am half french after all. Dancing, drinking and meeting new interesting people is always a plus but any of the three on its own right, can be sufficient. I read a lot, I study a lot, Ι enjoy doing things that fill my humanitarian approach to life... I sometimes write... I love women... I love my friends... and my grandpa because he is THE guy

Music, Movies, and Books

I ll just quote one of my beloved "B-movies with A qualities" directors, John Waters (Pink Flamingos, ya know?) : "We need to make books cool again.If you go home with somebody and they don't have books, don't fuck them"

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

that is a tough one... let´s try...

One of them just happened in September 2012 I received a last minute call that I had received a scholarship for a master´s degree in a European community program called mundus Erasmus. I wasn't expecting that anymore and I was totally surprised. In the meantime, I was about to rent an apartment, I had set my yearly schedule of work ( as a teacher of Spanish, English and French), I was preparing to produce music with my mate and I was about to celebrate my 30 years of age in a huge party at my new house... but I left it all behind to embark on this new 2-year adventure.

Another thing that happened also recently (goldfish memory effect!) was on a boat, going to an island here in Greece. After first of all seeing an ex-girlfriend who was going on the same day to the same island, I started thinking of an older girlfriend of mine trying to remember her name and when I did, 10 seconds later she appeared in front of me! talk about the mind playing tricks on you!

Visiting Iguazu Falls.. definitely... the energy in its purest form, the images will be with me forever... the quatis, the toucans...the nature.. just wow I think

Also a ceremony of Ayahuasca with the Church of Daime, an experience that opens up your vision and makes you see how you can unite your life to a more spiritual approach

And, above all, having a beautiful, intelligent son who was born in March 2014... The result of a great friendship he is and loved from everyone, he shall be!

I guess there have been others, but to my Charles Buskowski-an habits, sometimes my memory doesn't allow for reminiscence!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach Spanish, French, Greek,English and can help with some basics in Italian..

I would love to practice my Italian and Portuguese and and and.. whichever new language or skill one would want to share (like yoga, tai chi or fishing :-P )

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my love for Athens, I do work and have a thesis to complete, but in my spare time, walks, drinks, food etc for sure. I live with my girlfriend and I can share a couch and morning coffees. I do not have spare keys but hey, you can't have it all!
