ABOUT ME

Hard one. I guess I'm a really sociable person who likes as much going out than stay home and talk for hours of everything and nothing. My friends would probably tell you that I'm a ''zen'' person. It's not totally false, but I would say I have a long way to go to be zen at all times!

I have strong opinions, but I like to be convice that I was wrong. I'm really respectfull and polite so I guess : easy-living.

Authenticity is really important to me and it's why I love what couchsurfing offers in travels: meeting people of other countries and cultures in their ''real'' everyday environment.

My first language is french as I'm french canadian. I grew up in Quebec city, a nice city of Quebec's province.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is good, take advantage of it.

Choose your happiness.

Absolutes are illusions.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Interests

I'm an outdoor passionate. Hiking, skiing (telemark), climbing, kayaking...

In contradiction, I love the beat of the city, its culture, its extravagances.

What more... Travels, writing, philosophy,politics, reading, sports, nature, musique, cooking, photography, culture... I love arts but know really little about it. I really admire people living from their art or passions.

Anthropology, the study of culture, interests me so much I tought I might study in that field.

I can be really quiet and comtemplative or really talkative and enthusiastic. I love to have long conversations about life, culture, music, or about what passionates YOU. The best stories according to me, are the lived ones, and listening each one is a travel itself.
