About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Living unexpected adventures and getting in touch with as many emotions, feelings and impressions that human experience has to offer.

ABOUT ME

I am blessed with being born under a whole new moon. As the moon was resting while I was discovering the strange feeling of hospital air and doctor's hands, some might think it must have been a dark, dark night I was born under. And yet, all I can remember from my birth is that the sky was completely covered with fascinating and shinny things that later I heared were called stars.

PHILOSOPHY

Everything bears anything, in itself, and the opposite. Everything is and is not.

Or like they say in French: "toute est dans toute". It soothes me very much to contemplate the world this way!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'd be glad to meet you in Montreal for a brunch, a drink, an exploration, or, if you'd prefer, a meatless hot dog swallowing contest.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I surfed once in Sarajevo, in 2008, and was blessed to receive the hospitality of being(non-couchsurfingly) hosted by generous people in various trips. I also had great times meeting couchsurfers hosted by friends in Montreal!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love books, as they are great companions to deepen our insights on existence! I am deeply fascinated and touched by the work of French Canadian writer Réjean Ducharme, so am I with Milan Kundera and Jonathan Safran Foer's novels as well. I also have quite a thing for Dany Laferrière. And once upon a time, my attention was entirely drawned to the fascinating universe of Harry Potter. I used to dress like a sorcerer while reading my books - yes, I've been a really lonely child!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seeing northern lights and (survived to) snow storms, wonders of the cold weather!

Teach, Learn, Share

Here's a grocery list of things I can bring a glimpse of into your world:
+ Vegan kitchen fun
+ Watch raccoon with admirative eyes
+ Guess your astrological sign
+ Cut your/my hair
+ Go for a late night hot yoga session

+ I'm interested in creative practices and expression. I would be lifted to hear/discover/experiment anything related to it that you would like to share with me
+ I'm looking to learn anything that has to do with plants!
