I'm a Phd cultural studies' student.
I love travelling, arts, mother nature, tasting food and drinks, silence and noise...

PHILOSOPHY

A good master, we will have one as soon as each will be his own one.

« Le jardinier peut décider de ce qui convient aux carottes, mais nul ne peut choisir le bien des autres à leur place. »
Jean-Paul Sartre

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had some pretty good experiences: meetings with different people, hosts, guests...
I hosted several times in Tunis, Paris and Montreal. I have been hosted in Spain, Belgium, The Netherlands, Turkey and France, and i definitely like this way of travelling around the world.
On the other hand, i don't like the "Verification" part that CS introduced, to make it, little by little, a standard. I don't also like that this site is ravaged more and more by the advertisement and all that has to do with the gain, which was not the case many years ago.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Maybe we'll talk about it :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to make Brazilian bracelets, how to cook some traditional (tunisian, subsaharian, indian...) meals, the bases of a few languages, how to make the best turkish/arabic coffee...
And if you ever want to become a teacher: i can teach you how to bear a class of little monsters without thinking about making a carnage!

I want to taste unknown meals and beverages (known as well :)) and listen to different experiences and stories from interesting open minded persons.
