CURRENT MISSION

Visiting Detroit and Toronto electronic and house music scene! Meeting friendly neighbours and sharing experiences!

ABOUT ME

Laid-back canadian guy who likes beer, whisky, house music and science communication. I consider myself polite, curious and confident and I value inclusivity and am pro-feminist, LGBT+

PHILOSOPHY

Once a existential-humanist, today I lean more on David Wallace's philosophy of New Sincerity. In others words, I try to live the present moment regardless of how caricatural I can be of myself.

POLITICS

Socialist, anti-capitalist, environmentalist, pro-feminism.
I read the news every morning and frequently participate in protests.

PROFESSIONAL LIFE

I manage a science communication nonprofit in Canada, with the mission of democratizing scientific knowledge.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I always do my best to make my stay the most enjoyable for my hosts by looking after me, being kind and offer some of my culture and funny stories. I can do dishes, clean the place, take out garbage and cook brunch. I always bring something to drink to my hosts. If I stay at your place, you can stay at mine!

If you have any activity to offer, I'll be part of it!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I traveled Europe in 2014 and had my first Couchsurfing experiences back then. I'm grateful for all the people I met during the trip (over 200!) and the hosts that welcomed me.

Have been a surfer with Couchsurfing three times!

3 nights in Paris at Antoine Smith's
1 night in Hamburg at Ida's
2 nights in Florence at Sara's

Also spent nights at non-Couchsurfing members' place

1 night in Versailles
1 night in Paris
