About Me

CURRENT MISSION

"Live and Let Live"

ABOUT ME

Even if I don't really like those formated description, I'm a 30 year old man who like to meet people, to discover different cultures, visions of the world.
Before i created my CS profile, i was using the "St Andrews Palace" account -> http://www.couchsurfing.org/people/saperlichloette/

PHILOSOPHY

"When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace" J. Hendrix

« Il y a tellement de choses plus importantes que l'argent mais il faut tellement d'argent pour les acquérir. » Groucho Marx

I also work on the principle that in life, nothing is taken for granted..

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've been taking part in CS since the year I was living in a huge flat in Montreal. I was member of the famous "St Andrews Palace" (you can check the profile), in one year, we hosted about 10-15 couchsurfers, and went couchsurfing in 3 different places.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've surfed in Toronto, New York, London, Recife & Salvador (Brazil).

cf. Saint Andwreeez Pâlace reference!
We received many people at our place, and my 1st CS experience
was in Toronto, Canada. After, I did it again in Brooklyn.

Interests

- Music: For me, it is the soundtrack of life..

From the moment i wake up since the moment i fall asleep, i listen to it!! (Jazz, Soul, Funk, Hip Hop, Reggae & more)

I make music too, i'm in a hip hop band called "La Microfaune", i rap and make instrumentals on my computer.

But don't worry people who don't are particularly hip hop lovers..I can adapt myself ;)

I love playing Basket-ball too, watching movies, walking around not necessarily in places I know!

More generally, i'm interested in human being...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
