Couch Information


No couch currently available for surfing.

I stay in a quite great flat with 6 other people, all students, not far from the center (and the university) of Geneva.

We have a common room that we share for friends or travellers that would like to spend some night here.

The atmosphere is great and everybody is welcome !

It is really easy to find and there's a direct access by tramway from the trainstation.

Personal Description

For me the world is full of possibilities, things to learn, to share, to discover. I know I won't see it all, but I like this feeling of getting something new. To understand !

I'm a smiling person, funny (but hey, jokes in other language aren't that easy to do) who likes to learn new things. I'm mostly quiet, butm if you put the music on you will see the other side of it !

I think we have all something to learn from the other, so I try to meet as many people as I can. Sharing is more important than we think.

How I Participate in CS

We have a room where people can sleep in the place I live.

Interests

My passion are clearly music (rock mostly but I'm really open on that), writing and reading.

I love utopias, creating new worlds... everything that comes out of the imagination.

Philosophy

Create your own utopia... and believe in it.
Express yourself and try to change and improve your life and environment.
So many things can be down, great and small, by everyone.

Music, Movies, Books

Authors : Tolkien, Philip K. Dick, Frank Herbert, G.R.R. Martin...

Music: Queen, The Police, Blind Guardian, Ayreon, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Scorpions, Counting Crows, Pink Floyd...

Film : Y a-t-il un pilote dans l'avion, Shrek, The Big Lebowsky, Leon, Wayne's World, Hunt for Red October
Lots of comedy and stuff

Types of People I enjoy

Open minded and easy going person.

All kinds, really. Every single person is extraordinary in itself.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach French, bit of computer thing, writing skills and many thing about social ecology

I would like to learn about graphism, anarchism and the ecological/social movements.

What do these numbers mean?

This summary is not a replacement for reading references; it's a quick summary to help you get started. At a glance, you can see how many references a member has, and how many of them are positive, neutral, and negative.

In the second line, you'll see how many references came from people who hosted this member, surfed with them, and traveled with them. These numbers won't always add up to the total: some references are not categorized, and some may be categorized as more than one thing.

When viewing this summary, don't jump to conclusions! Things that are negative for one person may be positive for another, and vice versa. It's important to read references carefully and evaluate what that information means to you.

Ce fut très agréable d'héberger Vincent. Nous avons particulièrement eu de très bonnes discussions avec lui ! À ne pas manquer si l'écologie et la justice sociale vous tiennent à coeur. Un invité bien aimable que l'on réhébergerait avec plaisir. Merci pour les informations sur Bookchin ! :)
