About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learning Cantonese and chinese traditionnal caracters

ABOUT ME

I consider myself a pretty relaxed guy, I love interesting conversations. I try to enjoy what the world has to offer, from crazy Indian crowds to Norvegian wilderness, from Hong Kongs Dim Sums (dumplings) to nice goat cheese in the French countryside, from a fancy classical music concert to beers with my friends.

PHILOSOPHY

There is nothing more important in the world than happiness ! I will do everything I can to make the people around me happy, never hurt their feelings, and I will always be there for those who need my help.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I participate to some CS meetings, host people and am hosted when I travel, I also got verified.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I will always remember my first Couchsurfing experience, it was in Ramat Gan, Israel, it felt so good to be welcomed in someone's home when I was travelling. Since that, I have met dozens and dozens of people through couchsurfing. At some point I consider that Couchsurfing has played a big role to make my life what it is now.

Interests

I'm interested in many different things, but they are more or less related to this concept : Understanding how the world works, what drives every culture, I want to know what is your backgroung and how it influences the way you live your life. Every human being is an infinite source of curiosity.
