Welcome on my profile!
I'm Stefan, a native French teacher coming from Provence, but currently living in the Czech Republic :)

I'd like to improve (or at least dust off) the various languages I learned by meeting new people. My focus for now is the Czech language, as I live here, but I'd be glad to continue improving my english and finally, why not dust off my spanish ? Generally speaking, I'm interested in various cultures for different reasons, so as soon as we have one language in common, even if it's not our mother tongue, you can message me.

I like discussing about culture, art, psychology, life experiences, personal development, science, dreams and other things.

Concerning my lifestyle, I'm an INFP - T, vegetarian and I "believe" in degrowth and minimalism. I tend to be quite an ascetic person.
I consider myself an open-minded agnostic who believe in a lot of things, as soon as I can experience them. Also, I'm into mindfulness and meditation.

I consider myself as an open-minded individual, and I try to give up all prejudices and judgements. People are wonderful, with their bright sides and their dark sides.

- People who like discussing topics such as literature, philosophy, science, personal development, spirituality, music... and generally who have similar interests.

- Open-minded individuals and out-of-the-box thinkers and feelers.

- People who want to practice their French, English and the other languages I'm into.

- People interested in occult, witchcraft, or people who have strange experiences to share (whatever your religion, beliefs or traditions).

If you want to learn or practice French, I'd be glad to have a language or cultural exchange with you.

- Yoga
- Meditation
- Writing
- Running
- Travelling
- Live music
- Martial arts : Aikido, Iaido, European medieval fencing. Planned to try something like krav-maga or sistema
- Role playing games (RPG), (tabletop and computer)
- Strategy and war games
- I'm a city dweller, but I'd be interested in developping my rural skills, my survival skills. Just don't know where to start. Also, I'm interested in alternative ways of life (small autosufficient communities, alternative homes...)

I'm open to almost every genre. My favourite are progressive rock and metal, stoner, psychedelic, goth rock, bossa nova, jazz, classical and ambient.
