ABOUT ME
I was borned and raised in a somehow progressive family with egalitarian values. I consider myself a punk/metal geek, but I'm a big fan of world music. History is for me as much of an intellectual interest as a moral damp. I like gardening. I believe into a radically democratic and decentralized socialism. I love pating my dog, thats like opium with hair (R.I.P.). I studied in a leftift microcosm. I drink maple syrup on a regular basis. I love cycling.
"...un homme se définit aussi bien par ses comédies que par ses élans sincères."
-Albert Camus
"Music is both my biggest passion and my biggest escape"
-Bobgan Chiochiu
"Only what four eyes can see is undoubtedly true"
-Ludwig Feuerbach
"Philosophers have hitherto only interpreted the world in various ways; the point is to change it"
-Karl Marx
"On va botter l'cul de tous les patrons"
-Michel Chartrand
PHILOSOPHY
Tolerance and respect are some very important social axioms for me, unless I'm around intolerant and disrespectful people.
I like to think discussion is a great way to create social ties, but there are many other social practices that are not regarded in that matter.
I like to deviate from my thoughts the things I assume generally acquired; let's intellectually deconstruct everything!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Couchsurfing is not only a virtual space that gave me an opportunity to discover cities with locals in a very personal way, it also is a community of cosmopolitan joy-driven people
I have done WWOOFing in the past.
Interests
I would not have much motivation if it wasn't for arts, music and litterature in the first place.
I enjoy talking about socio-political issues and confronting my own prejudices to ideals.
I like biking under the rain and running on new-york-style hardcore punk in the forest, cause everyone loves mosh-runnin' under the trees.
I like cooking with people. Not as ingredient.

Music, Movies, and Books
I'm into music of all genre, from grindcore to shoegaze via fuzion jazz. J'adore la musique de toutes les inspirations: Hardcore/crust/post punk, trip hop, no/cold wave, psychedelic, stoner, garage, bluegrass (et folk sale, 'sti), chicha, bossa, cumbia, free/latin/acid/swing jazz, afro-funk/beat, (deep/prog) house, techno, prog rock/metal/punk, sludge, grime, (t)rap &drill, drone ou death/black/doom metal, (harsh) noise music...
I love social theatre and litterature.
Most of the time, I read essays and novelettes. I love H.S. Thompson A.Gramsci, S. Hall, M. Foucault, K.Marx, R. Barthes, A.Camus, B. Vian, M.Kundera, B.Bretch, Molière
Teach, Learn, Share
I try to make each encounter a collegial encounter, where all that emerges is intersubjective knowledge.
It'd be nice to have a jam in your/my living room!
