CURRENT MISSION

To travel, to learn, to create and to find the perfect shish kebab

ABOUT ME

Je voudrais etudier dans une quinzaine de domaines differents. Je m'interesse a mille choses, je ne sais jamais ou donner de la tete. Ce qui est au sommet de ma liste de priorites pour le moment est de voyager et lire une infinite de livres, fictions ou essais. Faire de la photo.

I'm a quite simple person who likes to travel, learn and share. I study journalism cause I thought I would like to go by the world and report what is important or simply interesting to me. I know... that was stupid. I'd love to learn photography. And to always have an all around the world plane ticket in my left pocket.

PHILOSOPHY

I just wish to live in a way I won't have to regret anything.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been hosted by wonderful people in Europe in 2006. I had the chance to discover their city from their way of life or from advices they gave me instead of tourists books. I will never forget all those great moments.

For the books, I am still discovering what I really like. Some years ago a friend made me read Baricco and from that moment I started to read all his novels. Chateaux de la colere (Land of Glass) and Ocean Mer (Ocean Sea) are my favorites at the moment. I also liked Kundera, John Irving (Especially New Hampshire Hotel. It was an intense love story that ended too fast. (Not in the book, between the book and I)), Hermann Hesse. For an Quebec author, I enjoyed Rejean Ducharme.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Salt Desert in Bolivia. Tate Moderne in London. Dunes in Chile. Buenos Aires and Andes in Argentina. Montmartre in Paris. Countryside on bike in Netherlands. Ruins in Roma. Berlin.

Montreal, its heteroclite architecture, hundred churches and lanes, some of its parks, the Mont-Royal, all the good restaurants, all the good music concerts, all the places to drink home-made beer, its people.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach to swim... I guess. I want to learn almost anything and to share what I learn. Then teach it. Then start it all over again.

At the moment I would like to continue learning Spanish and to start learning a new language. I also wanna learn photography.
