Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Undercover secret agent on duty. My country is just too poor to give me a infinite credit card like 007... so I couch-surf on the job!
ABOUT ME
If you want to know something, just ask!
Anyway, long story short, I'm from a little town named Frontenac, in Québec (Canada) and I'm a brand new High school teacher in social universe. I've studied at Université de Sherbrooke while working there as lifeguard and swimming teacher. Will soon be English teacher (as a second language) as well, doing my classes online while travelling (since I have no job yet).
French is my first language (Québécois!), but I made my profile in English since more people understand it. I started learning Spanish too but I'm not very good yet.
Up to now, I've been in Canada, USA, Mexico, Egypt, Venice and the Balkans. Sincerly, I think travelling is the greatest experience ever. It's so rich, so much to see and learn! I love meeting new people from different cultural backgrounds.
I'm someone with a great sense of humor, very easy to approach and to get along with. So I hope to meet a bunch of you! ;)
PHILOSOPHY
-We learn more from cognitive conflicts than from anything else. Seek them, get out of your comfort zone and meet with the difference, the unknown. Only then, shall you start growing.
(Myself)
-Life is what happens while you are busy making other plans
(John Lennon)
-Travel broadens the mind

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Stayed in school for so long and survived! ahah! ;)
Or find my way back to a hotel in Cairo (Egypt), in the middle of the night, with the help of random homeless people who could only speak Arabic (of which I knew no more than 4-5 useless words) ahah!
