About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Touuuut tooouutt tout et surtout la Freedom !!!! Enjoyyyyy it, keep it and share it !!

ABOUT ME

. Back from the Pen ar Bed

EN 2012... ... IL PLEUT COMME VACHE QUI BOUSE !I am photographer. I love cold winter - actually I spent 3 winters in Poland last years...

I grew up with this song, I used to know it by heart :
First part : Cancion de Santa Maria de Iquique 1
Second part : Cancion de Santa Maria de Iquique 2
Third part : Cancion de Santa Maria de Iquique 3

I love freedom too. Rare and precious are the freedom moments but soooo deeepppp !!! How to say what is freedom, I don't know, just maybe to feel free is enough...I love people who have the courage to believe that it is not hopeless ! I like to feel it in my hands... that I am doing something good.I like to give, to love, to share and to talk.I like 100% I like sun, rain and 50° North.I'd like to be a sage guy... I've the whole life, sure !!I want to see smilesMaybe something more... So, about my most fairy like instant, I remember this night in Trois Rivères (Québec - Canada)The sky was silently storming the city in foggy snowfall when thousands of icebergs were gliding as gosts of a yaks herd along the Saint-Laurent river bank...It is strange how much music can have noone sound...I remember mi first Belgium beer - it was in the bar La Rumeur - first taste discovering of the NorthPeople look at me sometimes like an alien...... so you have to know, that is the reason :On the other hand, I do not understand how people can do their maximum to not watch by the window at the landscape from the TGV...I mean, I am happy so much for the whole day to see such instants...I beleive that human is able to love his neighbour. Maybe it is why I like the metro in Paris. It is a loboratory for the Humanity.I do sometimes those thingsI like when the balance is not the perfectionBe patient, patient is the nature for youAnd live your dreamWill to do it again... past is the futureMy fightMy fear... of what beauty hides Impression of "déjà vu" ?Look at your past, it is your future

PHILOSOPHY

Dream your life and live your dreams

Just will to leave... one day I'll do it... use to say, who knows ?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm a busy and not really rich guy at all, I don't have so much so I give my all. Sometimes it is sofa, somtimes a beer, a sightsee, or somes ideas, words... anyway, I try always something.I like mixes : mix of cultures, skills, languages, arts... mixes are good. Ah ! I am fervent fighter against racism and discriminations. So for me Couch Surfing is a good tool to mix as to fight !!I would enjoy also to show Lille - my adopted city - and the sun that North of France inhabitants have in their heart. With an NGO we created with a friend *, w organize some language exchange meetings in Lille between people, mostly from Couch Surfers and also open to others and of course anybody you are, WELCOME!!Groupe Language Exchange Club Lille.I'll try more... because I like to try more.* Just to know : the NGO is name : 'Histoire de Savoir(s). "histoire du savoir means in French "history of the knowledge", but "histoire de savoir" is also an expression that we use quite often and whitch means " as a pretext to know" or "just to know". The "s" is the plural, considering the multitude of points of view and interpretations of the knowledge.
