I'm not a 100% certified tour guide, this is Couchsurfing, interaction with people is important!
/No last-minute requests.
/Preferably no hosting for more than 3 days (but exceptions remain).

Travel thoughts in progress... .

Welcome !

The only thing that really matters to me is the present moment I share with people I meet and spend time with.

Furthermore, I have French, Russian, Spanish and Filipino origins.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I donated to the CS2 projet (I'm a verified member) and already took part in some CS2 local meetings, introducing this amazing concept to newcomers.
Maybe someday, I'd help with setting up special events in Belgium.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Firstly, I attended a CouchSurfing meeting in Liège-Belgium and it was pretty much fun to have a chat with people from Germany, Italy and the United States.
Real fun and interesting all the way.
Secondly, I experienced my first ever couchsurfing experience during the month of november 2007 thanks to the kindness of two persons from Norrköping and from Stockholm without whom I couldn't have made it possible.
At first, I was feeling sceptic about the project till i first went to two CS meetings in Belgium then I just "went for it", packing up and deciding to fly to Germany then to Sweden for the purposes of my goal... meeting an online partner I am chatting with for almost 10 years.
My two CS hosts were really kind in all aspects (and my German contact as well, Danke sehr!), they granted me their complete trust and treated me as a friend and I can tell that it's not really common that people give their apartment keys to strangers they are about to meet for the first time.
This experience was frankly a success and I would recommend this way of traveling to any person looking not only for free accommodation but also for direct cultural proximity.
Living with locals is great!

Interests

Radio shows, art (litterature mainly but I'm opened to other art sub-fields like painting, sculpture, drawing etc,...), the underwater world, videogames (online gaming for instance on the XBOX LIVE platform), travelling and meeting people from various nationalities throughout the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Wish I could put something amazing here but I never experienced it LIVE... only on TV but it's not really the same thing :)
Besides, it's quite hard to qualify things as being "amazing"... when i was 4 or 5 years old, I fell in a pond surrounding the Taj Mahal in New Delhi and i almost drowned in it but i was saved by a Fakir... people say that those ponds grant you with eternal youth! :D
That's just an anecdote :D

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd love to share my knowledge of French and my Couchsurfing experience with newcomers.

I run an organization in Brussels called Comsa (www.comsa-asbl.be).
It's a communications agency working to increase the visibility of small and medium-sized organizations through online and offline communication.

I might as well share my vision of life and give a taste of alternative media located in Brussels (Belgium) since I host radio shows on Radio Panik (http://www.radiopanik.org) - 105.4 FM (Brussels).
On a learning aspect, I would love to discover as many things as I can (in any kind of fields).
I recently tried Salsa but it didn't work too well for the moment.
