About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Since I'm done with my studies I'm free and have no big plan so far! I live my life day to day... I want to spend precious time with my daughter!

ABOUT ME

Open-minded, down-to-earth, easy-going, simple, attentive, aventurous... are among those characteristics leading my little person.

PHILOSOPHY

What makes it difficult to determine in which direction we're going to walk? I think there is a subtle magnetism in Nature which, if we unconsciously let us yield, shows us the right direction...

Interests

I love my daughter...
I like being by a fire on winter time...
Coffee is a plus in a day...
So is a glass of wine!
I love nature and wildlife! Camping, into the wild...
Being in mountains is like a re-birth to me...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Known my daughter! Born in Peru (peruvian mom), lived in Florence, and now in Montreal, Canada, she's amazing! She speaks spanish, italian, french, english and learning german!! Isn't a bit incredible?!

Among other things I've seen, northern lights in Canada are amazing.

To hear those big chunks crumbling from the Argentina's Perito Moreno glacier gave me goose bumps...

The sky in Chile's Atacama desert is impressively clear!

To get down an amazonian river in Peru, for 13 days, on an hand-made raft with a couple friends of mine was an unforgettable experience...

The picture of the sun rising on Cambodia's Angkor Wat will stick in my mind forever...
That same sun lighting up the tip of Fitz Roy mountain, Chile-Argentina border, is an amazing image...

I couldn't believe myself after eating those cicadas in Laos, as well as crocodile and snake... not bad actually!! I've also eaten some fresh meat of that sloth bear in peruvian jungle...

I love pushing my limits doing winter camping in Canada!

A colleague and I have confirmed the presence of wolves in a Canada National Park sampling tracks and feces!

I participated to a study in mexican jungle, about the behaviour of the spider monkey in relation with forest logging...

I did few courses and serving in Vipassana meditation centers.

Teach, Learn, Share

We can share languages skills, conversing...

I love to hike so I could bring you around to discover green areas out of Montreal!

I do body massage, and reflexology thai massage.

I' m quite into photography as well.

I'd like to learn dancing latina music!

Let's get in touch!

What I Can Share with Hosts

To travellers coming to Montreal, I can help you in any way if you need so, to know a bit of that city, to give you some company, take pictures of you!! or have a drink, one of those microbrewery beers or a coffee! But I don't have any flat to share though. Due to my wanderings, I'm kinda of a homeless man for now! I'm so sorry about that...
