About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Improve my Spanish and teach French and English (TEFL) // Améliorer mon Espagnol et enseigner le Français ou l'Anglais (CEFLE)

ABOUT ME

I'm an ''easy-going'' but passionate young man, a little shy and reserved but very sociable when I get comfortable with people. I'm a generous, funny, attentive, honest, relax, authentic, curious, passionate and peaceful person.

J'ai une réelle passion pour la photographie! ... et l'Espagnol!

I enjoy music a lot (so many different styles...), I play Drums. I'm enjoying photography more and more... and it's part of what makes me want to travel... to get snapshots of all those beautiful places around the world.

*** Activities I like and practice :
Photography, Music, Travels, Snowboarding, Longboarding, Escalade (intérieure pour le moment), Drumming, Tam Tam (Djembe), Guitare accoustique, Camping, Trekking, Cliff/Bridge Jumping, Canoeing/Kayaking, Bike, Frisbee, Juggling.

- Spend a whole winter (5 months) in Costa Rica.

- Bungee jumping! (the highest place in Northern America).

- Sold my house and quit my job to follow my heart... so I could be in a position to be able to travel for longer periods of time, to learn Spanish and improve my photography skills.

- Paragliding in Miraflores, Lima, Peru.

- Trekking in ''Torres del Paine'', Patagonia, Chile.
