ABOUT ME
I'm SAm.
Je suis SAm.

A shy person in an extravert body.
I love simple moment, I like to laugh out loud, to talk and think about what's going on.

Une personne timide dans un corps d'extravertie. J'aime les moments simples, j'aime rire fort, parler et penser aux choses qui se passent.

PHILOSOPHY - SPIRITUALITY
Je ne suis pas religieuse. Ma croyance est basée sur l'influence des choix dans nos vies. Je me réveille un matin tardivement et je rate un des meilleurs moments de ma vie, ou je l'embrasse. I faut essayer. Demander. Renforcer son influence personnel sur la route.

I am not religious. My belief is based only on the influence of choice on our lives. I can get up late and miss the best time of my life, as I may not. We must try. Ask for things. Empower our personal influence on our path.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
It's quiet hard to fully accomplish my will to welcome CouchSurfer, but as much as I could at the time things come up... it would be great.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
(Most of the) individuals I met with this network, are terrific!

Interests

theater: I did some acting, but my favorite was when I play in 'the vagina monologues' with seven other women. That was so fun to speak about all these taboos without being disturb. After that, I started as a stage director with friends.
What I like wit directing it's all the energy you can give. My favorite moment, it's when your actors are felling right, they shine on the stage. They are their part. They are so steeped in their text, they make the show goes on.

Gender Studies : I am an equitarian, which is different from an equalitarian but it is not that far people say we have to reach equity to move towards equality. I say, we have to use the equality in matter one day get equity as a standard.
• Men and Women should have the same civic rights.
• Biologically men are not women, and we do not have the same body strength. But it does not mean work should be divided by sexe.
• We have the right to get our own masculin-feminin identity without social obligation of one or the other.

Photography: I use to always carry my camera, take pictures of little stuff that no one sees. I tried to summarize everyday with one picture. That's so amazing when you are able to transmit the energy and the feeling you were getting through.

Street Art:I would like to be able to make a tag. I like it.

Demography: That's what I studied at Uni, not a lot people know about this field. So what is it? It's studying the movement of the population: migration, fertility, mortality and nuptiality. Seems very basic like this, but how many time did you travel? What kind of need do you have when you go somewhere? How many babies do we have? What about population getting older and retirement time?
I like question about gender equity, fertility, health, ageing, migration and labour force issue.
For example: did you know that migration rate of women raised up, because there are a real need of person in care sector? Did you ever think about how care profession are view and what kind of salary they get ? and why we ask for migrants to do it?
Everything is linked... Love to play with these questions. Demography should be more considered by policy makers.

psychology: I like analysis of attitude and behavior within a systemic approach.
