About Me

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Observe how open minded people connect with each others. I like observing people. I like traveling not to have a checklist but to see if other materials, other personalities, other environment are changing my view. Proving some ideas wrong, widening others. I like to kill bad ideas, act better and be harmful to stupidity starting with my own.

Interests

Nerd part: Science, podcast, travel, engineering and technology.

Not so nerdy part:

- Cinema (I'm a romantic, a good movie teach me stuff and/or make me feel stuff. I would prefer both)
- Music (My spectrum go from classic to metal. From Pop to Rap. From Blues to Jazz)
- Dancing(I've been told that I'm a very good beginner).

Music, Movies, and Books

Books: Nietzsche's books, The art of war, Godel Escher Bach, Richard Dawkins, The little prince, Freakonomics, you are not so smart.

I love science and philosophy books. I have some hard time focusing on novels (getting sleepy with boring stories) except for Jostein Gaarder one's who wrote Sophie's world and The Solitaire Mystery. Another novel that I especially liked is Carrion Comfort

Movies: American Beauty, Elephant Man, Matrix, Life of the others, Fight Club, The social network, The Game, V for vendetta, The reader, Back to the future, Star Wars. Tarantino's movies and some Asian movies like Old Boy.

TV Shows: All classics ;)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Fail quickly, Iterate restless

What I Can Share with Hosts

- Large amount of series/movies (Bring your computers :p)

- Kindness and free spirited environment (People that agree all the time with me don't teach me anything new)

- Clean place (I've been raised very well and my flat is tidy and when I'm hosted I'm always offering to do the chores of my host. I've done washing up/sweeping everywhere while people were not mentioning it explicitly. I like to feel useful :p)

- I can share knowledge about sciences, psychology, arts, technology, engineering and I can talk French to help you learn it obviously ;-)
