About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy. Make people laugh. Travel as much as possible. And save the world in the meantime

ABOUT ME

Looking for strange situations, strange people, strange places. Or at least different ones. Or just people. Love to be surprised or to feel far from my place or far from my mental boundaries. In love with french Alps and mostly about every single place when the snow makes it quiet and lunar. If you're ready to speak for hours about your country, about mine, about anything or anywhere i'm your man. Paris has got some magic power and i'll be proud to share it with you in some nightwalk, around one (or many) beer(s), listening to jazz (or techno/or the Seine river/or whatever) or at home. "Je suis important" cria le grain de poussière

PHILOSOPHY

La vida es un sueno

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Creating couches in Paris and Canada, hosting at friends' place, hopefully soon at mine. Have hosted in Canada too. Mostly spreading CS wherever I am, telling people it's the best thing in the world. After french wine. And cheese. And bread (...)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I won't put all the great people I've met her, they're all in my mind and I won't forget them. I'd like better summing up some particular events in my CS history

Surfing :
*Grenoble, France. January.09 then January.10. Two crazy weeks, dozen of people
*Lausanne,Switzerland April.09
*Montreal,Canada, 2010 : discovering this crazy town through CS is delightful
*New Brunswick, Quebec,Ontario and Manitoba, Canada : Hitchiking/Bus/Road trip accross Canada in september 2010, a lot of couches saved my life on my path
*Lisbon, april 2011 : One couch to start my time in Portugal and one other to end it. Incredible people for an incredible city
*Tbilissi, Georgia, july 2011 at the beginning of my huge third trip in Europe.
*Briancon, France, 26th of july. Briancon's CS community saved my life this night...

Hosting:
*Paris, hosted through friends and a few times at my place when I could
*Sackville, Canada : Hosted a few people, created a new couch and hosted a WHOLE band in my room once
*Next couch created : Paris as soon as I find a flat

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Tasting romanian wine and eating corn on the grill around a big fire near the strange soccer field of the little city producing it in the north of bucarest called Blajani.
Hitchhiking and taking buses from Nova Scotia to Winnipeg to see a couchsurfer I hosted before, then going back driving in the smallest car that has ever crossed the huge canadian territory

Teach, Learn, Share

Hard to say. You'll discover by yourself. Perhaps some knowledge in stupid topics like crazy records. Nothing's more important than details or news item. I think -at least I hope- that my curiosity and my strong will to avoid 'official' places has made me see different things than usual travellers. But isn't it something we all share?

Countries I’ve Visited

Armenia, Bulgaria, Canada, Greece, Morocco, Spain, Turkey, United States

Countries I’ve Lived In

Canada, France, Switzerland
