About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Inform my peers of the beauty of this world. Sensibilise them at environment issues

ABOUT ME

PHILOSOPHY

I want to die young... at a very old age : )

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I went on a World Tour from October 3rd 2007 until October 1st 2008. I visited 52 islands in 52 weeks and wrote on the 10th most visited website (by Quebecers). I also wrote for other newspapers and magazines along the way. By writing articles and publishing photos of all the place I visit, I want the people to learn more about each other and encourage them to visit each other.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

An intensive year of travelling and many dozens of couches. I received CSers for a while, but is now currently taking a little break from it because my wife and I started our family. We have now two young kids that takes lots of space and energy... but also are the center of our life and happiness :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I did some cooperative work in Mali... it really changed my perception of live in general.
My world tour was also a life changing experience that should lead me to write my first real book (that'll be my fourth, but the other ones are... different: photo books, cook book and one on my own islands).
Now is raising my little family... wildest adventure ever :)

Teach, Learn, Share

Only those who are happy can spread joy around them.
