About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I'd like to work at a fraction of my usual pay to be able to leave and travel for several months while earning the other portion of my pay traveling around the world, mainly in India and Asia.

ABOUT ME

Although I'm a quiet person, I like to meet all kinds of people. I am always respectful of others others and their environment.

I can cook for you! I love to cook, discover new food and stuff to eat and drink. I love a simple but good meal with friends.

Eating is a very importan and significant thing to me. People are what they eat in a way that you can judge their open-mindness, self-respect and global enjoyment of life in general by their eating habits. That applies as much to individuals as to societies.

PHILOSOPHY

Respect is the key of individual and collective happiness. And it starts with self respect.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can't host, my appartment is a bit small. But I intend to propagate the existence of the CS principle to people who do not know about it in order to make them aware of this opportunity and incite them to travel.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None yet. Unfortunately, I can't host cause my appartment is too small, but I'm really excited about surfing in Barcelona very soon!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiking in Yunnan mountains in Yi people territory and eating and staying at their houses was quite like deaming alive, especially since it was my first time traveling abroad. Food in China was also the freshest I have ever eaten in my life, especially the fruits and vegetables. I stayed in south China.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to teach French, my native language, or English, which I master relatively well. I'm a translator and professional writer, I love my French-Canadian French, AKA le Québécois, and I am always willing to teach it or talk about it's unique character.
