Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
I want to discover the world, meet people and live a good life!
UPDATE for 2020
I worked very hard on my companies for the last few years and had to give up traveling. As I sold it in 2020, I'm now excited to renew with my passion.
ABOUT ME
I'm a simple and independent guy who loves people. I like to joke, smile and take a cold beverage with friends ; ) I'm curious about other culture and wish to learn about you and exchange about my ''experience''! I'm considered an easy going, mature and funny guy. I'm honest, I've got good manners and I'm an appreciative person.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Together with my wife, we can host travelers, give them a tour of the city and tell them when is the best time to be in Quebec and in the ''eastern townships'' my region of Canada! If I can, I like to take guesses on some activities like canoeing or kayak (we have 3 canoes and 2 kayaks). There are many trek opportunity close by as our city in literally enclosed in nature.

Interests
I love good cooking and eating local foods.
I'm a beer anthusiast and I like to discover new tastes (I brew my own beer at home and will be happy to make you taste it).
I love camping and nature. I like trekking, but I stop often to appreciate the scenery. Each summer I do canoe and kayak with my wife on the river that cross our town.

Music, Movies, and Books

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I want to drive at least once all categories of vehicle before the end of my life. So far I have driven a school bus, airport firetruck (and many other trucks), sailed on many kinds of boats, piloted and landed a plane and rolled with computer chair (haaaa youth was full of adventure :).
