CURRENT MISSION

Trying to maintain an acceptable level of sanity while getting my PhD

ABOUT ME

All? That would be long! I'm currently hitting the real life snooze button by staying in school as long as I can. So far it's working out pretty well.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm trying to spend more time & energy on people who are nice to me, and less on those I wish were nice.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Mostly hosting people.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfed across Scotland and Ireland with my little sister. Thanks to everyone we met there, we had an awesome time. Hosted a couple of times. Looking forward to meeting new couchsurfers!

Interests

Reading good books at least 5 times each, learning the lyrics to my favorite songs and singing along while I walk in the street, trying to learn new songs on the piano but always ending up playing my "classics", learning more about the behavior of killer whales, trying new restaurants, especially at 4 in the morning, discovering new mountains (with my skis of course), and skiing on the ones I know too, looking at the stars and putting everything in perspective, programming, when it works, reading random stuff on wikipedia, meeting people from all over the world and realizing we all want the same things in life... and oh so many other things I can't think of right now.

Teach, Learn, Share

Well... I don't know much, but I know how to ski, can teach Quebec slang and I can help people with stochastic calculus and stuff... In exchange, I'm willing to learn about anything. Especially if it's useless.
