Canadian :)

CURRENT MISSION

I'm in the business of making the world/people better... And so should you!
I also wanna be the coolest / badass(-est) grandfather ever so I can tell my grandchildren crazy stories
I'd like to be an astronaut... But first, sail the world :D

ABOUT ME

I love good music, good food and good times...I consider myself a bit of a nerd - I loovee sci-fi, Studio Ghibli, and others. I also like to think and be around people who make me think... Either on a philosophical level or (simply) scientific.
I love moving: trying to train/move about every day!

PHILOSOPHY

- Every little action counts. Do the right ones. The ones that make you happy of course!
-Kaisen; the path of neverending improvement.
- der weg ist das Ziel; it's about the journey, not the destination.
- Hurry up, time is the enemy!
- "Never believe anything, until it has been officially denied. " - Claud Cockburn
- "Partager votre savoir. C'est un moyen d'accéder a l'immortalité" - Dalaï Lama

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
When my younger brother and I went on the road in the 2011 summer, From Quebec City through the U.S., down to California! It was awesome, so now I'm basically trying to encourage ppl to visit Canada as well as to share good experiences wherever I am living!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Through the mid-western US to LA all the way to Key West. From the great Swiss Alpes to the Nordsee of Holland... Now I want to explore what Hawai'i has to offer :) !

Interests

I love learning, so that makes me interested in lots of things, I enjoy arts even though I'm not really talented in it! I recently bought a lot of camera gear... We'll see where this leads to!
I'm also learning Didjeridoo and harmonica at the moment :P
Warning! I can be a bit reckless... Skydiving, bridge diving... I pretty much like to dive head-first!

Music, Movies, and Books

Le petit prince - a simple yet quite compelling short story...
Peter and Wendy - I'm kind of a never-growing child too!
Michel Folco (french author) series
Gems, Germs and Steel, the Sapien series are all quite interesting and eye-opening
Besides these, not that much into books, I (just) read peer-reviewed articles ahah

I also like good movies :) and sometimes a good old American blockbuster!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

What I Can Share with Hosts

Funny facts :
1- I was supposed to be named Dominic... But shortly after I was born, my parents decided to have another child and give him this beautiful name!
2- I met my friend's mom in Holland in 2014. We wanted to exchange kisses but I went the French way and she, the Dutch way... That ended hum, as a lip-to-lip greeting!
3- I used to say that I love to do backflips... But after breaking my neck a few times I now don't recommend you to do this at home
4- coming soon!
