CURRENT MISSION

Learning, making friends, discovering my next mission in life

ABOUT ME

Back in school doing a Masters in biophysics. I used to be a software developer, so this is quite a change! I moved to Montreal a couple of years ago for school, and love the cultural mix of the city. I've done a couple longer trips abroad -- I was in India for 8 months in 2005 (working part of the time), and have also spent 3 months in southeast Asia and Australia.

But now I spend more time studying, taking care of our balcony garden in the summer, playing with our cat, cooking...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We've hosted quite a few people in the past 6 months or so. So far everyone has been wonderful! (And I think had a good time here too...)

Many of our couchsurfers contacted us through my girlfriend Neeltje, so check out her profile to see feedback (you can find her in my list of friends).

We're often busy with school or other things, but we're very happy to have you stay with us for a few days. We can provide city maps and quebec guides.
