Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Start hosting people at my new home in Melbourne, Australia.
ABOUT ME
I am an open cheerful guy who likes telling and listening to stories. I like learning languages and discovering new traditions and cultures. I used to work at the Montreal airport where I would meet all kinds of travelers, this gave me an urge to travel. I'm a bit of a hippie (in a good way), I like gardening and cooking. I'm also half Australian, so I can fake a pretty good aussie accent.
J'adore les arts et la culture. Mais aussi le sport et la nature. Je suis cinéaste en herbes, artiste, écrivain. Curieux et ouvert à tout.
PHILOSOPHY
Go with the flow, be impulsive and open minded and adaptable.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
First ever couch surfing experience was fantastic we we're fed and given delicious belgian beers, we offered to help the host but he just wanted us to take it easy. I love that you can meet so many caring people.
The next day we hitchhiked up to Amsterdam having been unable to find any hosts on couchsurfing. The girl who picked us up let us stay at her cousin's place for a few days!
I also couch surfed and hitchhiked my way from Barcelona to France, unfortunately having to send people last minute requests. I always managed to find good people to host me.
I've hosted a few people when I was still living in my family home. Hoping to host more once I have my own place.
Interests
Languages! Love learning new ones and sharing the ones I know with others.
Politics
Philosophy
Mostly videography/cinematography/photography and all those other "graphy"s.
I have a very wide range of interests!
Riding my bike everywhere despite my awful knees.

Teach, Learn, Share
Jack of All Trades.
I can teach you a bit of guitar or any of the languages I know or tell you stories about the countries Ive visited.
Or if you want to know anything about French-Canada or Australia.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I can cook some French-Canadian delicacies like poutine and pâté chinois and am usually carrying around a supply of maple syrup to share as all Canadians should.
I can also cook a few different latin and asian dishes.
