CURRENT MISSION

Discovering the world

ABOUT ME

I am a very easy going and open minded person. I love to laugh till it hurts and I pride myself in saying that I am pretty good at making people laugh as well. I may come off as shy at first but once you let me in... I warm up very quickly. I just completed my bachelors degree in business administration and therefore I am looking to travel before I start a new chapter in my life. I speak English and French fluently and speak spanish fairly well as well. I play piano and a bit of guitar and have been composing music for a few years (more of a hobby). I was born and raised in Montreal, Canada but also have roots from morocco as my mom was born in Morocco. All in all I am a very low maintenance and respectful guy and go above and beyond to please others before myself. Hope this is enough! Never was too good at describing myself but feel free to ask anything else you would like to know about me! Much love!

PHILOSOPHY

Carpe Diem... seize the day. The power of NOW! not tomorrow or next week... nor yesterday... I live my life in the present... in this moment right here... because the present is the only thing that is real.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I will be CS for the next 3 months and will then have a couch available for surfers when I get back.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It is my first experience

Interests

I love discovering new places and most of all meeting new people. I really enjoy playing and listening to music and love attending concerts. I like to party but prefer smaller group gatherings where people can actually converse! I also enjoy physical activities such as football, riding my bike and love golf and... hockey... as every canadian does ... i think... I also enjoy reading and video games. i am fascinated by everything that is old, therefore related to history, archeology and of course culture! I am therefore interested in getting out of my everyday life here in Canada and discovering the ways of other people across the globe. I've been dreaming of this trip for years now and I am so glad to finally be able to live. I hope to be able to share this beautiful chapter with you! Thank you in advance for helping me live my dream. Looking forward to meeting you.

Music, Movies, and Books

Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Buddy Guy, Oscar Patterson, Beatles, Rolling Stones, to name a few... I like blues and Jazz a lot and feel like I belonged in the 60's but I am open to EVERY type of music. I love a different variety... as a matter of fact I can't listen to the same type of music all the time... From pop to rock, to electronic and cultural... I like it alllll. I love movies... cant name all of those either... I haven't been reading much since I was busy with work and school for the past 4 years... so most of the reading i've done lately have been related to business, but I do enjoy thrillers, biographies and somewhat philosophical books (Eckhart Tolley gave a new perspective to my life through The Power of now when I was going through tough times). I also liked the Harry Potters and JR Tolkien's Lord of the Ring :0)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Snowboarding in the Rocky Mountains

Teach, Learn, Share

I speak French and English fluently so I'd be more then glad to help with both of these languages. (Don't forget I'm from Canada, therefore my english may not sound like anyone else's in Europe... but that's not important!) I can get around with the spanish that I know but would love to improve it. I guess I can consider myself an intermediate piano player and I would like to learn to play the guitar. I've just started learning. I like to jam with other musicians, although I don't know much musical theory, I have a very good ear and catch on quick. I'm canadian so I can ice skate too!!...so If anyone wants to learn how to skate, i'm your guy!!! I think I have a few more things to offer that I can't think about... but i can't think of anything else for now... (bachelors in administration and international commerce, I can help students too for as much as I remember)
