About Me

Hi beautiful community of travelers.

I am back on this platform because I love the idea of sharing the world and feel safe anywhere building ties between humans for a better earth community. The world shoudn't be a dangerous place. Please feel free to come meet me.

I dedicate myself to brewing beer at the moment. I stopped being nomad before covid and started integrating a beautiful community of people heading towards inter-sufficiency in terms of food mainly, in Matapédia, Gaspésie, Québec. I have many different projects I am working on. I bought a warehouse which i look to transform into a community center and venue and a makerspace. I am also working on a craft brewery project in the same village.

This is mainly how I spent my time. But who am I is something that changes all the time. I am tending towards more generosity, calm and structure in my life. I like telling absurd jokes, dancing and playing and shouting and making crazy stupide stuff. I like learning on everything, always curious. I cook well, and know a lot about history and music.

Please hop in for adventures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe in a world of sharing : lifts, houses, rooms, food and drinks, but surely thoughts, feelings, experiences, knowledge. A world where interconnections between human beings are invested and multiply freely at every second, Entonces, the society can reinvent herself smoothly when markets collapse.

I believe in couchsurfing because it creates what we are made for, a society, where people get in touch. As simple as that.

I want now to recieve at my homes, it's my time to give.
Les vouleurs de vivre sont bienvenue chez nous.
