About Me

CURRENT MISSION

fish joy in life, pêcher la joie dans l'existence

ABOUT ME

Life is very easy and marvellous but the human beings turned it in something dramatic and heavy...
I lead a pilgrim-like life since many years now, mostly based or on the providence or on exchanging work against staying somewhere. Took me almost three years to walk from France to Israel, and now I still find myself walking on these roads I love so much, and being offered coffee and grapes by random eastern European babas...
I love, randomly, to walk in the wild, scream in crowdy parties, make some bread, offer some little bells, learn foreign languages with toothless sheperds convinced that I understand everything, and hope to lucid dream next night !

PHILOSOPHY

Seuls ici et maintenant existent, reste à réussir à capter l'instant présent...

je n'aime pas les medecins, quels qu'ils soient !

La vie est une illusion, mais ca fait quand meme mal de se coincer les doigts dans la porte...

Just here and now do exist, just needs to be capted the present instant...

and I do not like doctors, whoever might they be !

Life is an illusion, but sticking one's fingers in the door is painful anyway...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

...try to meet as much people as I can via CS and speak whenever I can about linking travellers...and destroy the fear of most of the people who ask you if you are not afraid to travel alone...never alone especially with CS !

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Je n'ai jamais accueilli personne chez moi, vu que je suis nomade pour le moment, mais je cherche à participer à tout ce qui permet de tisser ce que l'on appelle le lien social de toutes les manières qui soient...
As a nomad, I've never hosted anyone, but I'm trying to participate to any initiative that try to enhance what one's call the social link...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Live with my clown when everybody loves to be so serious and tragic in their everyday-lives
especially clean anti-riot cops with soap and sponges !

Teach, Learn, Share

I learned a few tricks to ask hospitality in any environment that I can share, how to live without or with very few money in this very strange modern world, walk barefeet in the snow, how not to eat for seven days, produce your own medicines, make a synergic garden, making swiss cheese in the Alps...
