About Me

Hello
I just like to have good times with my friends. I love art, music, dance, theatre, film and hope to cram as much of that in my life as possible. I'm a canadian who normally lives in Montréal but I'm in Brussels, Belgium for an internship doing fun mechanical-electro stuff. I'm cooking all of the time, so I hope you're hungry.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This is my first time in Europe.

I just want to make new friends and enjoy the many beautiful cultures that the world has to offer.

Interests

I love to play music on a few instruments, draw, dance like an idiot and go to concerts, art galleries and museums. I adore film. Animated films are fantastic and if you don't think so, maybe I can change your mind. If I wasn't studying engineering, I'd want to be a cartoonist/animator.

I really enjoy creative designs and sustainability and environmental friendliness worked into engineering. Everybody should love the environment.

I dig culinary arts, snowboarding, most sports and exercising/running.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I designed and 3D printed a miniature steam turbine.
I wrote a small novel and printed it once for an incredible friend who I love dearly. The story is kind of a joke, but I love it.

Teach, Learn, Share

Um, I love to learn. Here's some things to share...

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can make you amazing breakfasts or any meal at any time of the day. Show me where the grocery store is and I'd love to bring you a mix of Canadian and international cooking.
