About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Lead global war on MOSQUITO'S terrorism !!

ABOUT ME

I'd like they would say as many good things about me that I could say about them !

PHILOSOPHY

Phew.. personal philosophy?
I'd say that the Greeks (Platon, Aristote, Seneque, Diogene, Epicure) opened my eyes, then the French (Montesquieu, Voltaire, Diderot) lighted the candle, and finally the Germans (Nietzsche, Hegel, Marx) set fire to my mind!

My personnal philosophy is to listen carefully to the greatest thinkers of the past, in order to create my own path!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

First of all, I find the concept brilliant!
Many say that the world is getting selfish. But this kind of initiative shows, if necessary, that is very easy to open his mind, just by opening his door!

I participate in the CS2 project by providing a mattress and a couch in my flat, meaning that I can welcome two people in the same time.

My flat is 100m², and well located in Montpellier.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

When I was working in Ghana, a friend of mine invited me in his remote village. Most of the children over there had never seen a white man and were gazing at me, laughing all the time, especially when I decided to play football with them!
Everybody did something to receive me as if I was the Queen of England, food, drinks, dances around a huge fire to the rythm of the drums.. just excellent!
The most surprising was the number of questions they had about my country, my way of life, my beliefs... I spent two nights in a hut, I'll never forget this first "african couchsurfing"!

Interests

Honestly, I'm interested in so many things that I couldn't enumerate them all !

I'm fond of history, basically. Also science, politics, new tech, bonsais...(ahem.. no, not bonsais!)

I also love sport, almost all af them maybe excepted curling (is that a sport, by the way?).
