About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Being a good buddhist (that includes being nice to Couchsurfers and meditate a lot more than now !)

ABOUT ME

I haven't been a fantastic Couchsurfer until now (I live in a very small flat and don't travel much), but I appreciate the liveliness of the community ! I enjoyed it tremendously in Buenos Aire when I was there.

Otherwise, I'm a psychologist, I try hard to practice Buddhist ethics (which means I avoid eating meat whenever possible, which might make me a very bad host for some of you !) and I'm planning to use meditation teaching as a living in the near future.

PHILOSOPHY

Sila, Samadhi, Panna... eg the Buddhist Path ! Which doesn't make me a religious person at all, BTW. I'm just trying, as cheesy as it may sound, to be good towards others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I always have a eye on the latest posts in the Lausanne forum and ztry to help there whenever I can. It's not much but if you saw my appartment, you'd understand !

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

No CS experience until now, unless you count the numerous parties I had the opportunity to join in Bs As thanks to the local CS mailing list !

Interests

Hiking, Meditation, Music (used to be a DJ and played in most of the decent clubs in Lausanne, and by decent I mean those that sometimes play funky music).

Music, Movies, and Books

Funky music, all kinds of books and movies. Recently, loved watching Into the Wild, Mystic River and un conte de Noël, but that's just a few.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Accepting to DJ for someone's marriage (as a DJ with some artistic integrity (sigh), I normally never do it) and meeting my GF there ! It doesn't sound like it's amazing, but believe me, she is !

Teach, Learn, Share

Sharing meditation practice would be nice: i'm looking for like minded people that would be interested in meeting once a week for a silent meditation session somewhere in Lausanne.
