CURRENT MISSION

spread positive energy all around :)

ABOUT ME

I love life, and believe that things happen for a reason,

i'm active, want to Discover : new philosophies, culture, places, people etc...

i like to listen because it's base of communication and it makes me feel closer to people.

I positive everything that happens in Life and try to live in a conscious way.

PHILOSOPHY

i Trust people and believe in kindness in this world.
whatever is the colour of our skin, or our philosophy, we all are cousins ;-)

i try to keep a free mind and don't belong to any "group".

"Smile and the world will smile to you" ( i forgot name of the philosophe, sorry! :-D)

the classical "life is like a box of chocolate and blablabla.." so i love to eat chocolate ;-)

i'm developing my yoga skills cause i believe that a strong and flexible body leads to a strong and flexible way of behaving in Life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

well... before i knew that website, i travelled alone to foreign countries in family of penfriends in Russia, Finland, Kazakhstan, Lithuania, Poland, Ukraine etc... it's the best way to know a culture :)

CS offers the possibility to meet people more easily and gives enough time to trust people.

i met wonderful people on CS, but i had to make a pause during a dozen of years as i am a happy father of 2 girls, but they don't let me enough free time to welcome people or to travel abroad alone as i used to.
in 2024, i plan to come back more often on CS , because i love that project of cultural exchanges and i start to be a bit more available.
