About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Foster a fair and sustainable way of living

ABOUT ME

I am 31 year old French guy enjoying life. I finished studying about energy and environnement few years ago and i have taken a year off to look deeper in my motives and to travel around. After an unfinished PhD in a field ecological economics and degrowth trying to study how to achieve a fair and sustainable downscaling of our regional economy, i am now studying and practicing medical qigong, forest gardening and the 8 shields way of connecting.

I am open minded, generous and very curious. I love sports, especially basketball, travelling around the world and discover new point of views.
I enjoy cooking and sharing a nice time.

I hope to make great encounters thanks to CS.

Here is the profile I used with my friend during the US road trip and the nice references we had : https://www.couchsurfing.org/profile.html?id=5H1X6SRFF

PHILOSOPHY

I feel like life is great chance that we have to cherish and to get the best out of it.
I try to stay always positive and help people around me.

I am giving a purpose in my life by helping the world to be sustainable.

I also love to share with other people and broaden my horizons or points of views so I am always excited to meet people from everywhere and every kind of state of mind.

If you want to stay at mine and prove you have been reading the profile please put the word "ZAD" somewhere in your message. It helps me avoiding copy/paste messages that I feel are not the true spirit of couchsurfing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've made a wonderful road trip from Boston to San Francisco from the 16 th of May til the 31th of July 2013

This trip was awesome and I've met outstanding people that hosted us and helped us have the best experience possible during this trip.

Now I feel like hosting with some quality time in the quiet place where i live in Nozay.
