About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel around Europe!

ABOUT ME

I am a friendly, laid back guy who enjoys meeting new people from all parts of the world and learning about new cultures. Until I was 18 I lived on a tiny French island in North America called Saint-Pierre et Miquelon. Since then I've lived in France, Canada and I recently came back from 1 year teaching ESL in South Korea.

I now teach ESL and French in Toronto and I really enjoy it because I get students from all over the world which it makes it a fun and interesting job!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I want to travel around Europe this summer and do it couch surfing! In the meantime, I am receiving people at my place, so don't hesitate to ask!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have mainly hosted friends of mine and they did the same for me. Now that I am on this website I am looking to meet other people who couchsurf.

This summer when I go to Europe I want to visit 10 countries and couchsurf everywhere!

Interests

I really enjoy traveling and that is one of the main reasons why I signed up to this website. I spent one year living in South Korea teaching ESL and looking forward to going back to Asia in the near future.

I love music especially heavy metal and love going to concerts and festivals. While traveling I like to visit the historical and cultural sites but but also experience its nightlife =)
I am also a pretty big reader, love movies, learning new languages, etc..

Music, Movies, and Books

Current events, history, international relations, language books. All kinds of movies and music, especially on the heavier side \m/

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The 2 most recent experiences would be when I visited the demilitarized zone at the border between South and North Korea. I am very interested in international relations/history so this is something that was very appealing to me.

Visiting Japan (mainly Tokyo and surrounding area) was also an amazing experience, the culture, food, temples, outdoor parks, etc...

I am looking forward to being able to add many more amazing experiences!

Teach, Learn, Share

It's hard to say but I like to meet all kinds of people, meeting people form different countries and cultures is always a good way to learn new things.

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, Canada, Costa Rica, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, Japan, Netherlands, Poland, Slovakia, South Korea, United States
