Overview
About Me
hello, i'm a french canadien who just drop school for travelling. I was on a business/marketing process, but honestly i dont see myself in this type of profession. I needed to learn more about myself before making the decision of what i'll do in my life, the best to do so is by travelling!
I started almost a year ago beginning by the whole canada, there i worked in cherry fields for two months. I met so much people from all around the world, learning from different cultures and just confirmed my need of travelling. After those two months, i head for Banff, à little town in the mountains, surrounded by them and by blue cristal water. I purrified myself, body and spirit, with the contact of those magestics environments.
Since november, i'm travelling in latin America, I started in Costa Rica and from there, i'm going more and more south. I did for about a month of woofing, working in farms in exchange of à bed and some food. I tried to quit the beaten path, do some outroad to find the best deals (for me). I like sharing and learning all kind of knowledge.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I think that travelling is more about learning and assimilate yourself to the culture of the place instead of imposing yourself. The best way to do so is to meet locals, talking with them and learning whatever they have to propose for you. it's pleasure you can not find in hostels. And i got to admit it, it's more economic hehe
Interests
Everything that you can resume by "outdoor" activities like biking, trekking, hiking, walking, swimming, etc.
I'm also à big fan of music, unfortunatly i do not play any instruments, but listening to it is always à great pleasure.
I like building and i developped quickly a taste for gardening with my past expérience in woofing.
Water is by far my biggest interest, it is everywhere in this world and yet, still one of the biggest mystery. I'm slowly working yo get my master diver certification.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Its always hard to think about a thing incredible you've done in your life, because for me; life is not a written book, you have the power to change it. For some, what is considered amazing can be boring for others. So, the one amazing i've done is to quit the path of school to be, again, master of my destiny.
But if you want to hear something funny;
I almost blew up an oven accidently, a week ago maybe (today is 11th of february 2016), and i survived! I didnt know that it was à gas hoven... So i almost kaboom the whole house, but don't worry, i learned from it! :)
