CURRENT MISSION

I'm on a roadtrip through Cantabria and Asturias with a friend !

PHILOSOPHY

I'd like to live exploiting others the least possible, and getting exploited by others the least possible. I strive to live reasonably fully in a physical sense, an intellectual sense, and also in a collective sense.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have not yet used Couchsurfing, but it seems a logical step after years of hosting friends and sleeping at their places. My initial motivation for joining Couchsurfing was being able to attend math conferences without wasting public money on my hotel, and meeting interesting people in the process.

Interests

Mostly anything ! From mathematics and science to poetry and music, from sports to cinema, travelling, cultures that differ from my own in subtle ways...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Biking for 10 days through Austria and Slovenia and hiking up mount Triglav was beautiful. But now again, so was the time some friends and I gorged on an ice-cream filled watermelon... hmm Pastèque Melba ! The waitress' face was priceless when we asked her if she would kindly fill our watermelon. And also, completing a PhD in mathematics applied to biology ! :D

Teach, Learn, Share

If I don't bore you, I can show you some beautiful Math :) Maybe some chess, if you are a beginner. Maybe some languages if you prefer. I personally would love to talk (and learn !) about Philosophy, Art, Literature, abstract concepts, and stupid stuff ! Oh, and also about food and drinks. And if you could get me to play the piano a bit more, I will love it (I've just started again after a 10-year hiatus !).

What I Can Share with Hosts

An interesting conversation while cooking together, or just while having a drink. And a couch which opens up into a 2-person bed.
