About Me

CURRENT MISSION

SHECORE

ABOUT ME

A 29 guy who enjoyed studying economy for many years but who don t really want yet the traditionnal Working-Sleeping-Buying live. I enjoy learning thing about how goes the world, mostly throught meeting people and looking around.
During my study in economy, i do an erasmus in romania and there i discover how i like to live abroad and meet people from other country. I really enjoy this country and people there.
I just come back from a European volontary service in Oradea (Romania) where i was involved in juggling event and cinema. Since that time i try to mix my passion about juggling and circus, travelling and meeting people. What i like the most in juggling is the teaching part. i like to make people realize how juggling can a wonderfull sport/art/way of expressing your self and improve your creativity.

I come from france and i miss very often his country, more for my friend who live there than for the crisis atmosphere.

PHILOSOPHY

I try to be as integer as i can, i believe in truth and try to be what i thought. I consider my self as a radical person, meaning that i try to do my best in what i start or what i thought.
I feel very concern about economy, ecology and social issues, and like to think about how we can live better together, even if some sunday depressing evening i think nothing can change. My main topics are work and inegalities.
Beside being radical (don t be afraid), i try to be transglobal. It mean that i try to interest my self in lot of thing, using the knowledge of the people who introduce me to that field, and try to connect my live with my idea.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I really apreciate meeting people and discussing. My dream would be to do that without the help of any website but i must admit that i am a bit too shy to start speaking to anyone in the street. :)

I believe in the power of transmission. Skills, knowledge, experience, i think every thing can be share and everyone has something to share.
My pleasure is to teach people what i like : economy, juggling chess or just idea ; i try everytime in my life to promote what i trust (whithout being an asshole don t be afraid)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Using this website or not, i have tried all my life to travel throught meeting people and participate in the local live of the place i am visiting. I enjoy also when i have the opportunitie to host people, making them understand what i like in the city or more generally in life.

I participate in the couch surfing experience three years before, when i was in romania for the first time. I spend some good time in Cluj and Brasov couch surfing and in bucarest hosting. Since that time, i don t go on this website anymore and i had to create a new account few month before.

I start again couch surfing because i plan to travel alone and i believe that couch surfing is the most interessant and pleasant way of travelling alone.

Interests

For now around 4 years, my mainly passion is juggling. Mostly aerial (balls, clubs, rings), i juggle a lot but try not to be the boring guy who juggle each time he is in a party or something like that (and i don t speak about juggling if you are not interested in it!!!:)). More seriously i am looking for project involving teaching, which is my best way to exchange about that topic.

Before that, i was into cinema and music, trying to learn everything i can about bands, director and history of this two wonderfull art.

I also like any kind of sport, economy (with beers and using simple word) and travelling.

My wish now would be to create a project involving all i like (travelling by bike to promote juggling in little village of romania, for example).

Music, Movies, and Books

About movie, i really apreciate social movie (Ken Loach, Desplechin...), who speak about reality and who try to make people realize the problem we have. this interest find also application in books.
I am also into "soft" science fiction and anticipation : terry gilliam, barjavel, K dick, orwell. I like the writter cinema : new wave, zombie, horror...

About music i got a lot of period : Punk-Hip hop-Rock n roll- song-electronic-techno. I enjoy a lot of thing if it does not include reverb and RnB.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Meeting a bear in front of my door in romania.
Running the marathon of cluj sick, without training and in a fucking horrible weather.
Living like a trump in the summer and enjoying this minimal live (because it was the summer and i knew it was for a short time)

Teach, Learn, Share

I had a lot of expereience including teaching or learning :

-Animation of juggling workshop in romania and in france.
-Chess teacher (for beginner) in Oradea.
-Trying to share what i learn in university about economy, in an integer and simple way.

I believe in the power and discussion and i like ti listen someone passionated by his topic, whatever it is.
