About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Everything has its beauty but not everyone sees it. I'm opening my eyes.

ABOUT ME

I've travelled the world for more than 2 years so I'm quite open minded

PHILOSOPHY

My philosophy is simple: ACCEPT.
I think the most important in life is to know oneself and realize that happiness is inside not outside..

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

For me, Couchsurfing just makes the world better.
I've been hosted all through South America and have met only incredible people. Each time it was a new discovery, an amazing lesson of hospitality and an unvaluable exchange of culture.
Unfortunatly I didn't have the chance to host many people yet but when I'll have my home again, it will be wide open.

Interests

Art, Travel, discovering, learn from everything and everyone, Chinese language and culture, meeting people in general, photography, dancing salsa and rock n roll, drawing, paragliding, hiking, chatting about everything for the whole night with friends or complete stangers, cooking, eating and reading good books.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: Amelie Poulain, The butterfly effect, Syriana, Old Boy, Persepolis, all Cohen's brothers movies, Into the wild, Ken Lauch movies and many others but I don't remember the titles... :)

Music: Almost everything, besides hard rock

Books: Sophie's world, Madame Bovary, Le petit Prince, Cien anos de soledad, Arnaud Desjardins books on spirituality...
