About Me

CURRENT MISSION

See what the world looks like, beside Montreal and the Caribbeans

ABOUT ME/US

I'm 40 years old and I started to travel 10 years ago. My first trip was in Europe. Backpacking alone for 3 weeks. 1 year later, I was leaving for Mexico and ended up building a new life here. New job, new language, new me. I've been living in Mexico for the last 6 years.

Subscribing to Couchsurfing is definitely one the most important and significant thing. It has, in some kind of way, put my life on a different path than the one I was using before.

PHILOSOPHY

-Trying to get to sleep each night with the feeling that I'm less ignorant than the day before.

-We are all born on this planet, we shouldn't have to pay to travel and visit it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Brought my guitar and played in my grandfather's hospital room while he was recovering from Radiation therapy treatment.
