I am quiet good on foreign language .I usually rent a home base ' for few month or more and then from there I work on cultural projects with locals and keep my gonzo reporting jobs . Its written in french only for now published and I have regular readers .. It gives a goal and a sense and some money to all my wandering ..

PHILOSOPHY

Humanist . I want to know and understand as many countries and topics possible. I beleive in Karma , not in fate . Dont complain about migrants coming to your countries, go to theirs .. I beleive in humility when welcomed by foreign people in their country .

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When I am in France ( summers) I canhost in a beautifull townhouse in Avignon south France and I do ave friends willing to help in many other countries . I know pretty well some destinations and I can give ideas abd even advises and my point of view if asked and if I know.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am very new ... I never prepared my trips or try to meet other travelers. It had been quiet the opposite . I had a drink in Bagok with a very interrestong Cs spanish architect fellow. I had diner with 3 memebrs in Chinatown , and I shared a ride with Thai Lady and Singapor man after having been invited to stay 2 nights at the Thai lady nice home .

Interests

People, cultures, musics, socio , ethno ...All , I want to know all and try to understand really the most topics . I dont like the '' sites ' I like people and they way of life . Post cards are often enough . I alternate times of intense activity and dedication when I travael , with moments of beach , reat , home bare food , eating well, meditating, writing with discipline daily .. I am not a party goer any more and I dont drink alcool at all anymore . I am sober but wasnt always :)! I usually start looking for local live bands and asking them if I can play a jam , I get my first connections . Music is a great passport .. When I am a fotgrafer , I am not a musician and I had several exebitions. When a youger man , I was part of a kinda famous rock band and it is part of me ... I have a great sense of humor and beleive in power of it .. I am as an old tiger .. I can be as a cat , nice but if setp my tail is no good .. I have great contact with people around the world . I am said funny and rather smart .. I can cope with total loneliness but dont like it ..
