About Me

CURRENT MISSION

enjoy life while I can! meet a lot of people to enrich and enlight myself

ABOUT ME

I like to meet new people, that's for sure. I'm very curious about everything, life, science, langages, everyday life abroads, reading, music, partying, drinking, eating, cooking, sports, video games, movies, you name it! If you can welcome me and share a bit of your life with me, we'll be friends! I'm not the invasive type, very respectful: in Rome, do as the Romans do! But I'm sure we've got a lot to learn from others. I'm a teacher but I don't like to lecture, rather to listen. Do you want to know more? I'm engaged and my fiancee and I will be soon pretty hapy but exhausted parents of a new born child to come in October, but that's cool: he'll come with us around the world when the time comes. Since then, I roam the globe, without my sweetheart who doesn't want to take chances with her pregnancy, but she'll be able to join soon!

PHILOSOPHY

We're on earth to enjoy and participate. These are the two sides of my philosophy. I'm an epicurist and I like to take advantage of the pleasures on body and soul; this is rather individualistic, but I also participate and contribute to a collective effort to make things better. I teach my pupils everyday to share and collectively contribute, I do all I need to do to lower my eco print, I look for the best solution for all parties.
I'm very interested in the way religions deal with these values. Collective contribution is written behind every sacred text, and it's a real pleasure to chat with someone who can show it to you. As an agnostic I cannot be enlighten by the presence of God in my soul, but His presence in the hearts and actions of belivers conforts me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Well, I was surfing on the net and I saw light, so I logged in and here I am! My couch is yours. I cook good French cooking and our baker is the best in town.
