About Me

CURRENT MISSION

"Stay true, Get paid, do Good ! "

ABOUT ME

I spent the last couple of years travelling and working, in Spain, Italy, Hawaii, French Polynesia, Japan and Morocco.

I am a dedicated and Loyal person. I believe in sharing and generosity.

If I had to compare myself to a situation in past times, i think i would be the feudal period, believing in serving a higher cause, noble values; people and ideas that are worth living and fighting for.

PHILOSOPHY

You will never walk further than your dreams

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Japan in 2008 Wonderfull!

Interests

History of art and architecture, especially in relation with its construction in time (that is how , why and when we decided what is a "classical" period for example). I believe this has greater implication that we usually think, notably in how we have come to think about modernity, but also Medicine , Architecture...( the debate is open !)

Embodied psychology and applications in Education/ Language acquisition and Health, Nature, Sports,

Innovative, Democratic and challenge based education and schools.

History of Religion and an open minded, psychologicaly based interpretation of sacred texts and mythology.

Movies and narrativity, especially from an Jungian perspective.

Everything that to me seems true, deep and authentic, carrying meaning, discovery and growth.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: "La vita e bella" (only in Italian): If you can laugh about absurdity, something of you will live forever.
The shawshank redemption: "Just a wonderful film about faith and liberty".
Music: I love Norah Jones' voice!
Books: Herman Hesse is great (ex, Siddharta)j Erich Fromm led me through my youth (*The art of loving*, *to have or to be*), grapes of wrath, from John Steinbeck, which I like because it shows how poor people can have such rich souls, and thus makes us question the values and orientation of growth and development.
Goethes Faust is a family heritage, and still a source of inspiration.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

-Participate in the annual Tahitian Dance "Heiva Competition" in 2006, within a group of 200 dancers. Look for the white spot in the dancing crowd !
