Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
I would love to make kids grow everywhere. And love to paint the walls. And smiles to be our lights. But being modest, I only wish to see the world with different eyes!
ABOUT ME
22 years old guy who does enjoy life a lot (!) I've finished a degree in social sciences and another degree in law. Traveling around the world has always been one of my biggest dreams and that's what I'm looking forward to do in the next years. That being said, I still have to study sometimes (!) which I'm doing at University of Montreal. My relation with law is one of love and hate, but isn't what life's all about!?
PHILOSOPHY
Life is made to be lived and enjoyed. I truly want to believe that people are still good. And on top of everything, I think that everyone should have access to a happy and loving life, regardless black or white, man or woman. I think equality and freedom are the most important principles we should built world on.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
By now, I've been traveling to Europe and to Tanzania(volunteering) and to India. My friend and I have been teaching french in a primary school. It's been a GREAT experience and a wonderful way to ''pay forward''!
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I have been hosted in Scotland, Amsterdam, Barcelona and London. Those have always been amazing experiences and now we just opened our couch so that we can host in return!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Seeing the sparkling eyes of our students whenever they would play soccer or play ''Hang the man''.
Teach, Learn, Share
I really like cooking, so I guess I could teach someone how to do so, especially since I've learned how to cook Ugali and Chapatis in Tanzania!
Else, I have studied for so many years that intellectual themes have to be the ones where I'm at my best.
I'd love to learn how to play guitar, piano, and some good jokes!
