About Me

Well, I'm kind of calm with some moment of craziness. Which means not always calm...
I'm also direct in conversation, turning around when chatting is not my favorite sport.

I try to learn everything that can make me more independent and do what I like: Languages, dances, mountaineering, climbing and hitch-hiking.
I also like to put myself in critical situations, as it always shows me capacities I have never dreamed on.

Sadly, this is not often easy to accomplish when I am in Switzerland, so I have find myself to be in a real good mood when traveling.
So this is what I do!

PHILOSOPHY

My brain is moving at this moment.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have surfed a lot and try to host more. Now that I am moving, it has became a lot more easier to host...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Lot's of different kinds. I have not used CS since a year or two, so I will see what will be the next experiences !

Interests

Seeing strange things in the streets. And enjoy some crazy situation. Hitchhiking provide this kind of things.
I also really enjoy to go out in the mountain... Climbing, mountaineering, ski-mountainering or just trekking. Just infinite things you can do up there !

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Radiohead, Sigur ros, Hiphop dj, strange music and lot of other things... Jazz!

Good movies: french, US, from every where. I'm kind of an encyclopedia when talking about movies...

Books: Blaise Cendrar! A man that make travel a total madness of evenment!
Nicolas Bouvier. And a lot of french books.
Margerite Duras, Zola...
As a good french speaking person I am keen on french literature... How bad...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

To be on my own... I am always surprised to find my limits not so well defined than what I was thinking. For me, being alone is one way to remark this.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have teached. So, I must have learned too. Learn to teach, and learning by teaching.... What?

So, now I learn to live by myself, more simply... I will see how it works...

I am fascinated by the way a body moves. Balance and agility.
