About Me

CURRENT MISSION

After 19 countries in Asia-Pacific, I'm now heading to Central America!

ABOUT ME

I'm a mix of a determinate and a dreaming person. I always have 1 milion projets in my head. The good thing is, now I have decide to realise most of all! I'm a hard worker, I can work for long period or more than 60h per week. I'm also a creative person, passionate by arts like painting, photography, musique and theater.

I did Arts history class in Uni and I have completed a TV and radio announcer class in Montréal.

PHILOSOPHY

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.€ -Mark Twain

We know who we are when we look on the other people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm now using Couchsurfing to discover the culture from the country I'm visiting. I can cook delicious meal with you or for you, I can learn you some French word and expression and I can discuss with you about one of the most wonderful subject: traveling!

For the time I'm home, I,m ready to host people and show thme around the real life in Quebec.... out of Montréal!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfing have get me my roommates in Sydney. One of the most interesting CS I have did was in the south of Tasmania, an host gave me the key of their shack, lost in the wildlife! I also love Couchsurfing for the persons who are active on, I've meet people 3x older than me and it was so interesting! alos... an host bring me in a primary school in Bengladesh, an other one bring me in a restaurant to eat BAT!!! an other one take me secretly in a private leisure club and we crashed the 5* pool by the sea!!
I also jump on a motorbike in the midle of the Hanoi traffic with my host in Vietnam, and he drove us all aroud the little and narrow street... I mean the most secret one!
And an other day, we were riding the scooter when he ask me to jump of and run between the traffic to pick-up an iphone on the floor just before it get crash by a big city bus... So i did, and fews hours later, the owner of the phone has so happy to find it in the hands of my Cs host.. It shows how CS people are nice!
seriously, always have a good time with CS people!
