About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Play in a tyrolean rock band in Vladivostock, or something close

ABOUT ME

This is especially hard to lay down right now as I feel I changed a lot since I started travelling by myself.  Eventhough hasn't been that long. I basicallly learned to appreciate solitude, sipping coffee while reading a good book. At the same time, I think I learned to appreciate different kind of people, with different personnalities and views, judging less, trying to always get perspective, adapting while stayin essentially the same, or at least working towards that.I used to do cycle racing, stopped after an accident during a criterium, one of the experiences that led me to reconsider things in general.Now I can be gratefull for what that sport brought me, discipline would be a very...very big word, but some kind of resilience I imagine.Travelling and spending a lot of time in the occupation movement in London gave me some kind of new focus.Looking forward everything

PHILOSOPHY

This world isn't a perfect place yet, but while we are working on it, nothing says it can't be a fun process.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Well, basically, i am new to this. So I hosted once before I left for Europe as I felt it was kind of my duty to actually know what hosting is like before sending couch requests. Now I participate by looking for people to host me or only locals to help me discover their region share a couple of drinks. I know, i don t have loads of references and friends, but hey, im a good guy, well i hope so, what i can assure you is i am not a robber, not enough skills for that

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Cycling down mountain roads in southern France, amazing views.Got lost out of bounds on my ski mountain during a snowstorm, ended up at the lake bank, skated on it with my skis to reach home.
