CURRENT MISSION

to make conviviality and tenderness natural in human behaviour

ABOUT ME

I may say I'm a dreamer who loves to wander through lives, minds and places with my own calm pace. I love to meet peoples who have any ideas and principles to expose or to share. Then I enjoy to talk about it with a bottle of good wine.

PHILOSOPHY

Take the time to do the things I'm interested in with patience and application.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm trying to apply the values of hospitality and to make the life and the travel of my guests easier and cheaper.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

After having been an "unofficial couchsurfer" during my college years, I now host a lot of friends of mine who are "unofficial surfers" too, but I recently host Patrik ("Potrik" in Swedish) who shared with me the CouchSurfing values of hospitality and cultural meeting.

Interests

Literature and arts. Rock, folk and jazz music. Sports: football, skiing, ski touring, hiking, hitch-hiking. Moutains, travels, wine, cooking, debates...

Music, Movies, and Books

I'll try to make it short and representative, like "if you were on a desert island..."

One movie: "Goodbye, Dragon Inn", Tsai Ming Liang. Because I like the rain, the silence, the slowness and nostalgic people... sometimes.

One music album: "After the Goldrush", Neil Young. Because listening to Neil Young, it's good for your soul.

One book: "D'Oultremer à indigo", Blaise Cendrars.
Because it's the first book of Blaise Cendrars I read and since that discovery I consider him as my favourite writer, as one of the best Swiss writers and as one of the best writer traveller.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've made my own wine of "pinot noir" with one of my best friends four years ago and we continue to make it each years. Times after times we become prouder of the quality of our product and are always happy to put a bottle on the table to taste it and speak about the wine.
