CURRENT MISSION

Entrepreneurial journey with two tech companies (FreshMint.com & Zilyo.com). Leading a non profit whose goal is to foster the startup ecosystem here in Montreal: MTLNewTech.com if you want to know more.

At the same time, and without getting into the YOLO archetypes, I'm on a mini mission to meet, learn and share with as many people as possible, cook yummy AND healthy meals, run 3 times a week at least, and party once or twice a week.

ABOUT ME

Too much to say, too few words, and a lot of modesty! ;)
In summary: love people, love to learn something new everyday, love to chat'n'share. My friends say that I'm fairly eclectic in my knowledge and interests, from pure technology, to tricks to make gourmet food healthier, politics and society issues. I've launched and run 2 non profits to let people have an impact for the common good.

But at the end of the day, I usually just try to treat people as I'd like them to treat me, from respecting them, to giving them time when they need it, or sharing my expertise when I can to dancing with them because they need and dance buddy ;)

PHILOSOPHY

Think always, but always try.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My best moments ever were couchsurfing, from England and going out till early morning to Quebec and having an intense disucssion till 3am (with some wine of course). Whether it's on couchsurfing or just word of mouth, it's the human interaction whether it's a short lived snap or a deep and lengthy discussion that I love. I've hosted many people in my life and stayed with many. It always looks the same but is always so different and enriching.

I would love to be able to meet and share with locals, maybe cook my specialty dishes and why not to learn to cook new ones! If you're a runner, I would love to run with you too.
