CURRENT MISSION

Flood people's imagination with crazy, fantastic, touching, humorous, amazing stories

ABOUT ME

I'm a dynamic, social, and über-creative person proudly sporting blue hair and a tattooed back. Don't let my black clothes fool you; my colorful personality and undying smile balance them out. ;)

I work at a video game company (Frima Studio) as Game Design Director so I'm a little bit of a geek. I also have a fiction blog (and soon a gaming blog) and should start querying my first novel before the end of the year. I also watch a whole lot of TV shows (45 minutes nicely fits in a busy schedule).

I like to learn, try new things and have been dying to bring a little more travel into my life (hence my brand new CS account!) I'm currently learning Finnish as I plan to go there someday and believe a travelling experience has a lot to gain from knowing the language of the visited country.

PHILOSOPHY

Passion is everything. It's what makes me get up in the morning, what pushes me to live at a thousand miles an hour, what sticks a smile on my face at every hour of the day. I couldn't live without being passionate about what I do, what I learn, who I am.

Also, problems don't exist; there are only opportunities to find solutions. ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm a newbie who'll surf for the first time when I go to Surrey, BC mid-octobre 2012! I'd like to welcome surfers at my place but I've got to straighten out a few things first.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I hope to be able to fill out this text box soon. ;)

Interests

My interests are varied, though they somehow always circle back to artistic creation and emotional experience. Reading/writing, listening/singing, watching/acting, learning/using and eating/cooking are a big part of my life.

Stories are a big part too and I'm drawn to anything with some fantastic/supernatural/sci-fi aspect. Anything that isn't plain old daily life (not that I never enjoy romantic comedies or dramas). Within that wide range of stories, darker themes have the stronger pull though I can't watch horror movies since my heart surgery in 2010.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'll try real hard to make this quick

Music: A wide range of metal and industrial with the occasional classical,underground pop, energetic electro and oriental beats when I feel like dancing. Current favorite: Emilie Autumn.

Books: Fantasy/sci-fi/supernatural including a whole lot of vampires and the occasional horror stories. Current favorite: Kim Harrison.

TV Shows:Again with the fantasy/sci-fi/supernatural with some witty procedural cop shows thrown in there. Definitely action-packed stuff. Current favorite: a tie between Lost Girl and Supernatural.

Movies: Similar to the TV shows with a soft spot for visually stunning stuff. Current favorite: MirrorMask.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Watching the sun set on Nice and the Mediterranean while sitting on a balcony in Menton, sipping red wine and singing along as a stranger strummed California Dreaming on his guitar.

Going through a heart surgery (not open heart but still) at 20 years old and half-waking up midway through the process.

Teach, Learn, Share

Skills/Knowledge:
- Creativity
- Writing
- Video game industry
- Nutrition/cooking (above average knowledge but not a professional)
There are probably other things but this is a good start. I can also help with French and/or English.

I wouldn't be able to list the things I'd like to learn even if I had days to do so.
