About Me


ABOUT ME
Curious of everything I'm anti-conformist and try as much as possible to get out of my comfort-zone. Curiosity and Emotional Intelligence are the skills I value the most.

CURRENT MISSION
The meaning of my life is to experiment EVERYTHING.
In the mean time, I need to find all the secret passages hidden deep inside all the forests of the world, create art from them and collect all specimen of mushrooms and medicinal plants there.
Meanwhile, I'm a neuropsychologist.

PHILOSOPHY
Go out of your fucking comfort-zone and follow your dreams !

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would like to share with passionate travellers, crazy adventures, amazing travelling stories and discover new cultures and traditions.

Interests

I Love to travel, experience amazing adventures, listen to peoples crazy stories and discover new places, especially if it's archaeological, full of spirit and abandoned in the middle of nowhere. I love archeology, alternative/street art, sciences, geopolitics but most of all I love forests ♥

I juggle poï/bolas, paint a lot and I like to learn traditional musics instruments from the countries which I travel, even sometimes it's better for everyone's ears that I don't try :D

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen mostly to alternative rock music like Tool but I adore Komitas, jazz like Tigran Hamasyan , Ibrahim Maalouf, experimental ethnic music such as Dead Can Dance and harsh punk music like Killing Joke or les Berruriers Noirs.

In general I really enjoyed watching experimental movies like Enter the Void by Gaspar Noé, Santa Sangre by Alejandro Jodorowsky. But I really Love Tarkovsky movies or David Lynch movies and I can also watch several times all Monty Python filmography.

My Favorite books :
Le Petit Prince, Antoine de Saint Exupery
The Alchimist, Paulo Coelho
Les Fleurs du mal, Charles Beaudelaire
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Douglas Adams
Habibi, Craig Tompson and Alan Moore's comic book

My favorite writers:
Isaac Asimov, Sartres, Meleau-Ponty
