About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Facing humans absurdities

ABOUT ME

Tell me your impression, I will tell you who I'am.

PHILOSOPHY

In a world governed by private interests, narcissism, and capitalist system, we definitely need to come back to a form of gift and equity into human relationships.

I'am very sensitive about justice between human being. I'am also conviced by an idea of mutual respect and to accept people as they are, without moralize their behaviours or ideas. The limit starts when you come to face other people into their complexity.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

To exchange idea about travel e.g. good places to visit in France

Host people who want to spend time in my city, if I can, and know more about people throughout the world.

I'am also a member of the French version of Couchsurfing called "be welcome" which is a non-profit organization, since in French law it would never turn into a profit organization. Just have a look on http://www.bewelcome.org/

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have already hosted several people when I was in France. I less used couchsurfing for myself, but I everytime found nice tips and advices throughout all the communities and forum hosted. It helps me to plan properly all my trip and to avoid some disappointment. My experiences were almost all positive!!

Teach, Learn, Share

Everybody have always to share or learn about something. But teach seems the starting point for both because you cannot share or learn something if you refuse to teach or to be taught. Well, I try to teach and share all my preceding interests, and my fair ignorance of many stuff seems be suffisant to learn from anybody. Indeed, it is alaways suspicious to know "everything", isn't?
