HELLO

I’m Gonzague, French guy living in Montreal since more than 10 years.
I’m a teacher in primary school.

I like art, to talk about that. Arrr! I always want to know, to understand all, but, unfortunatly, some things cannot be explained !

I like to be surprise and to surprise. I like chalenges against myself, and to push back my limits.

I'm sensitive, playfull. Life is a great scene where I like to play different roles, musician, traveller, reader, employee, student, teacher... It's my way to observe the society and the world, and to wonder to myself what influence I have or I want to have.

I can be quiet for a long time, change my state of mind very quickly. Well, I'm unique ! ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
One day in 2006, my dear brother, who lives Belgium, talked to me about Couchsurfing. Since this day, I use it a lot. It's great !

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Going back home after a big travel, specially alone, is not easy. How to explain to your family, to share with your friends all the things you saw, you lived, alone ?
I realized that yes, of course, I shared all this time with the others, these people I met, with me as well. This time was true, forever.
And now ? Life goes on, richer day after day.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2016, I decided to cross South America by bike, through the Andes. I wanted to bike 6000km to raise 6000$. This money was given to an organism witch send 100 used bike to Haiti.
