I'm a french guy from the southern part of the country. I did part of my studies in India and I worked in China. I love traveling of course, especially in Asia!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I used to host people when I was in bordeaux, it was a really nice experience. So you're welcome to my new place in Provence!

Interests

I'm fond of travel! I love meeting new people, having fun all over the world...

I like philosophy too. I love to talk about spirituality. I'm very curious so everything may interest me!

I like to learn new languages: I am trying to improve my Hindi and to learn Chinese... natives are most welcome!

I also like meditation and yoga

I am also a very simple person, and simplicity is for me a great value. In our world where appearances are so much important, where the "look" is a new religion and were money is a key value, I think more simplicity would help a lot... I don't think that we are on earth only to work, buy, sleep... I think we should try more to enjoy every moment, to see the beauty in life and in human relations, with simplicity.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love "siddharta" from Herman Hesse, "on the road" jack Kerouac, "Peer Gynt" of Ibsen... nd for the "francophone": Tintin, books of Malraux, Hugo, Verne...

Movies: "Samsara", "spring, summer, autumn winter and spring", "the good the bad and the ugly", "killing fields" (about cambodian genocide), "seven years in Tibet", "Slumdog Millionaire", "In the mood for love", "into the Wild"... ok I think I should stop, you must be borred.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

After staying one year in India, I have so many amazing stories to tell...
As an example: In a small village of Kerala, at 3 A.M during a local festival, all the people were completely stone after taking local alcool... One guy in trance, disguised in Kali, the goddess of death, run after me with a big knife, it was really weird!
