About Me

Originally from France, I have been living in Montréal for the past 2 years. I just finished converting a van into a camper and it was a really great project, and now is time to use it ! I am crossing Canada direction the Okanagan Valley (BC) where I plan to go picking cherries.

I am a chill and easy going dude who like to have a good time in good company, as anyone right ? I am in an constant searching for myself and I have been interested in spirituality lately.

I like to go out for surprise. Go to a new place see an unusual band meet unknown people be amazed by an unpredictable art exposition and have a few unrememberable drinks

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To get closer to people of the places I go.

Tell me about you, your place, the life there, the culture, art, ways and places !

Interests

I feel closer to my physical need and I am trying to get more in touch with nature lately. Also I want to get more in touch with my creative potential so I travel with my guitar and cameras, sketching and writing material, and I plan to put a lot of my attention on it. I also have a ton of book to read !

Music, Movies, and Books

My history with book is with fiction, fantasy, science fiction and classics like the Lord of the Ring or Harry Potter. I heard the L'assassin Royal serie by Robin Hobb recently had a sequel... I have to put my hands on it. Currently on french philosophie (Rousseau) and next will probably be some fictional classic (Hemingway).

For music and cinema I can enjoy many different things. I like old things most of the time

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

With 4 friends, 2 cars and walkies-talkies, we went from Grenoble, France to Chisinau, Moldova.
Without any reservation, only a date to be there and a date to be back, and an idea of a direction and steps. Wonderful. Everyday was making this day possible, finding the right way, a place to eat, and a place to sleep. Living day by day like this with close friends was the best thing I've done, and the best experiences I've had.

Lately I have been living ni Nunavut for almost three month, working in a snack. It was a hard but very deep social experience, and facing the Arctic was also incredible.

My Vipassana course is also something that have been very structural for me.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm more of a learning dude really, I have difficulties to stand confident about a matter or in any situation really, I feel more at ease in the student position.
