Music, Movies, and Books

I like to relax watching movies. Here are some of my favourites:

- The Experiment
- The Motorcycle Diaries
- The Spanish Apartment (l'Auberge Espagnole)
- City of God

Music that makes you want to hit the roof is great for me before I go to a hockey game. I like Rise Against, Pennywise and the Offspring for that.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I had the best trip ever in Ecuador. I've always wanted to see the Tropical Forest and work in an old fashioned farm. In Ecuador, I got to do all of this and even more! :

- Riding a scooter to go paragliding in Colombia
- Reforestation in the Tropical Forest with a PhD in tropical ecology
- Canyoning
- Volunteering in an orphanage with wonderful girls and elderly
- Volunteering for sustainable development in a rural area
- Living with the warmest family in Cuenca

I was also president of a volunteering organization providing IT & medical equipment consulting. I learned a lot, traveled to Cameroon and met wonderful people thanks to that experience!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach some French/English. I could show you how to skate and play hockey. If you're interested by microscopy / biomedical or physics engineering, I can teach you, but what are the odds ;)
