About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Visiting Scotland

ABOUT ME

I think that i am open minded, i enjoy to be with different "kind" (it's not my favorite word!) of people, see various type of movie, etc... It may be a little "cliché" but the difference is very important to me. I believe that a lot of different people can help me to walk in my life. That's why i want to discover the experience couch surfing...

PHILOSOPHY

-“I have always believed, and I still believe, that whatever good or bad fortune may come our way we can always give it meaning and transform it into something of value.” Hermann Hesse

-As a bee, I like gathering various flowers to create my own honey.

-"The clarity does not arise from the fact that we imagine the light, but of the fact that we become aware of the dark."
C.G Jung

- "It is rather sterile to label people and to press them in categories."
C.G Jung
-“Every man is more than just himself; he also represents the unique, the very special and always significant and remarkable point at which the world's phenomena intersect, only once in this way, and never again” Hermann Hesse

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I went to New York last year and two people host me, thanks to couchsurfing. It was a great experience because i met other people among their friends and it made my trip in Nyc even better.

Interests

Go to the movies (recent or old), photograph Paris, reading a book with coffee and cigarettes, spending time with my friends on banks of the Seine, watch series, go to a museum. Practice football (soccer) or basketball. Look at a match on Tv and plenty other stuff...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was in Italy with one of my best friend. In the street, at night (we were a little bit drunk), he asked some guy for a cigarette, the guy gave one of his last two cigarettes and offered me the last one while I had asked for nothing. I think it was an act of pure generosity, and for me it's incredible...
