About Me

I'm easy going. I like to drink good beer, chill around a BBQ, practice rock climbing, and go play outside! I absolutely love traveling especially to discover new cultures and meet locals. I work as a software developer, so I'm also a bit geeky on the inside!

I really enjoy life in Montréal, and I hope I can help travelers have an amazing trip, the same way I am so lucky with the people I meet in other countries.

However, right now, I do not have a place in Montréal. In February 2019, my partner Audreanne Picard (also on Couchsurfing) and I left our apartment and jobs in order to do a one-year round-the-world trip. :) :) We will be travelling through Ethiopia, Djibouti, Turkey, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tadjikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, China, Nepal, and then who knows where!

During this trip, we really wish to take the time to meet people who will show us new perspectives on the world. We like to travel off-the-beaten-trails and immerse ourselves in cultures that are different from what we are accustomed.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

AS A HOST:
I wish to help fellow travelers have a good time. Couchsurfing also gives me a new perspective on my hometown, through the fresh eyes of newcomers.

AS A TRAVELER:
It is important for me to meet locals when I travel. I find it is the best way to learn about a country's culture.
