ABOUT ME

I'm a Canadian that likes to travel:

Not only I like to meet new people and have long and interesting conversations with them, I also like to eat. I mean that I really appreciate to discover the local food.

2011: Bike 10 000 km (Canada + USA)
2012: Bike 12 000 km (23 countries in Europe)
2015: Bike 9 500 km (from Toronto to Panama City)

Did my Law at Université de Sherbrooke (Canada).
Did my MBA in Madrid (Spain).

I also studied in Austria, Tunisia and Mexico.

I was at the Sochi 2014 Winter Games.

PHILOSOPHY

A good night for me is having a good dinner with long conversations.

What would be a very average night: going out to clubs.

One day, I will have done half of the world. Then, I'll tell myself that there's another half to go.

4-5 times in 2011 while I was travelling across Canada (10 000 km)

A couple of times in Europe between 2012-14.

When I was younger, I used to ask my om to host people at our house. We met with many people and I really enjoyed this opportunity.
