I am Sylvain.
I am 31 years old.
From Montreal.

People say I look calm, relaxed....It's weird. I guess I tend to not bother too much about little things that don't need to be bothered with... although I also enjoy little things in life and cherish them very much.

I am a cats person. I have one pretty cool cat named Didi.
Anyways, I do like dogs too and I let them lick my face and jump on me but I wouldn't live with a dog, unless I get to live on this dream farm with lots of land so he could run and bark all he wants!

I have super eclectic interests: I learned the piano, violin and I played guitar in a garage rockband. I've had a competitive figure skating career and I still coach part time to kids. I like to draw and paint and I completed a degree in fine arts and art education.
Besides that… I also practice Judo and I like to ride my bicycle around!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on couch surfing because I like hearing people's stories. I also like to think my home as everyone's home. I like to have guests in my city, show them the spots I like, street art, parks, bars....
when I travel, I much prefer sharing people's everyday life than staying at a hotel!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I fractured my skull doing acrobatics on ice-skates!!!

Teach, Learn, Share

I don't know what that means, but I guess I can:

- Teach violin, piano, guitar, drawing, painting, tennis, judo basics, ski, snowboard, french, english, spanish basics, devil sticks basics.....a hole lot of useless but really fun stuff!

- Learn skydiving, carpentry, electricity, farmwork, woodcut, silkscreen printing, good lead guitar solos, tattooing, dutch, German, portuguese,....

- Share my bottle of water with you when we go for a hike, my desert, only if you let me taste yours, a bag of chips, my philosophy too....

I hope this answers the question...
