About Me

CURRENT MISSION

i don't like to word "mission". if you want to know what i am doing... i am living peacefully while getting back to the business. how does it sound?

ABOUT ME

Ah... personal description:
I may be a cool guy. (I may not!)

PHILOSOPHY

To live as free as possible, to live easy, simply.
To remain aware of the activity of the mind (and one day, to kill the ego!!)
To love (if i am in a perfect mood). Everything! People, nature, everything!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I talk about CS (and such communities) every now and then, when I speak about my last trip across Europe and the Middle East.
I sometimes contribute to discussions on CS forums, I sometimes forward them to friends.
I am willing to host people, to give back to the "community" which gave me so much already, but also simply for the pleasure of hosting, meeting people, being helpful and simply interacting

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I did a lot of "surfing" when I was travelling through Europe. Great experience. Beautiful people.

I started hosting in India and i am currently openning the doors in toulouse.

Interests

The thing is I am curious about almost everything (just time and organisation are missing).
Lately, I have had a particular interest in oriental philosophies, spirituality (namely buddhism, advaita, though I remain a pure beginner)...
I still follow closely politics, even if I don't believe in it so much any more.
I am keen on art, trying myself to practice every now and then (mainly photography though).
And then, history, travels of course, music, sport, (cooking?!)...

Music, Movies, and Books

I don't know what to write. We'd better talk about it when we meet.
Note that I sometimes surprise myself at being knowledgeable about books, but this almost never happened with films!! Please be compationate about that! (I add it is not always easy to remain up to date when moving around for long)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was 13, my family and me walked all the way from France to santiago de compostella in Spain... along with our mule and donkey!

I quit my job and the rest in mid 2007, and went on a great travel, which also was the beginning of a new life.
