ABOUT ME
what's the fun of living if i already know everything about me? life is like a latent image on a photographic film waiting to be developed.
PHILOSOPHY
Man sacrifices his health in order to make money.
Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health.
And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present;
the result being that he does not live in the present or the future;
he lives as if he is never going to die,
and then dies having never really lived
- Dalai Lama
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
A lot of places in Europe and Asia, about 60 families counting globefreeloaders, hospitalityclub and the unofficial record: a German family I met biking on the Romantic Road, Antonnie's friend after the big celebration over Barcelona winning European Championship, and the Romanian family I met at the metro in Brussels. I am still learning how to couchsurf, an average student barely passing his grade...
Interests
I travel to answer my own questions of existence. Travelling makes me happy, I don't know when I will find the answers, I guess I will continue my journey until then. I love meeting new people, learn and share with others. I can draw, play a few tunes on guitar, speak a little French, Japanese, and sign language, play basketball and soccer, a snowboarding instructor. And I love meeting people.

Music, Movies, and Books
I love Marlon Brando's films, the wild one, a streetcar named desire, godfather etc. Some of other favourite actors are Denzel Washington, Al Pacino, Leonard DiCaprio, etc.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I recently just completed my hitchhiking trip across Canada. It was the best trip I have undertaken. I started from Toronto to Halifax in 2007, and then from Toronto to Vancouver in 2012. In a sense, hitchhiking liberates me, it is amazing how you feel once you forgo the worrisome and stress. What's beyond fear? Freedom.
