3 values : respect, honesty, love.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Because I believe in a world based on sharing what whe have and know with others.
Meeting new people, hearing about their stories and opinions is a great way to keep broadening our horizons; it also helps you change perspective.
The world is wide and if you never wander off the beaten tracks you'll waste time and miss opportunities.
Interests
Exploring the world: countries, mountains, urban deserted areas, forests, city scapes, raw nature...
Social activism, especially women's rights, girl-child education, fight against domestic violence, denunciation of rape culture...
I believe we can all contribute our small droplet of good to make an ocean of wellness come true.
On my geekish-techy side: Artificial Intelligence, Linguistics, NLP, cognitive sciences, psycho-linguistics, Machine Learning, Neural Networks, Programming, pen-and-paper RPG...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Life isn't about extraordinary things, it's about common things that we accumulate, day by day. We all are amazing.
But I must admit some moments shine brighter than others:
- Climbing Mt Fuji (Japan) with a fellow wwoofer and witnessing the sunrise from the top
- Swimming with and stroking a wild sea-turtle in the Withsundays (Australia)
