I'm from Quebec.

I work on structural change in politics and economics. Ideas like the maximum wage, random selection in politics, independent citizen-driven media.

I'm a thinker who likes to tinker with words.

Song writing in Quebec's French.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfed a bit in Virginia. Quite enjoyed it too when i was travelling in my home province of Quebec.

I usually tend to use couchsurfing when there is no hostel in town. Couchsurfing is a fun and unique way to travel and meet people.

Next destination: checking-out Fredericton to determine if I want to spend the winter there!

Interests

Brainy type. I like politics... Societies and culture in general. But I have a curious mind and so can get going on almost any topic...

As any good Quebecer, I can tell you all about Quebec's history, people, flaws and virtues, laws and the fleur-de-lys, about the woodrunners of old, the Uprising of the Patriots, the dawning of modernity and what's yet to be done. Unofficial ambassador of Quebec ;)

Music, Movies, and Books

I like to hitch music and movies off friends and travellers.

Watched Lord of the Rings like five times in New Zealand...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In the Egyptian Desert. Saint Antony's Monastery. Lights shut off after the day fades away. My hand stretched out, I couldn't see. But looking up to the sky... Stars upon stars. As if a veil of light covered the night!

What I Can Share with Hosts
