About Me

ABOUT ME

I'm from Canada, more specifically from Québec which is, by the way, an amazing french province. I like to see different things/places/persons/culture than what I'm used to see here in my canadian comfort. I like to laugh, to have fun, to not take life too seriously... Life is too short to be anxious on trivial things.. So I guess that was the «quétaine» part. (It's a word from Québec that we describe cheesy things, just so that you sleep more educated tonight)

PHILOSOPHY

Tomorrow waits for no one.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: Disney Movies, Asterix & Obélix mission Cléopâtre, Pirates of Carribean, Harry Potter, Horror movies...
Music: 3 doors down, Lifehouse, Nickelback, Bon Jovi, Bryan Adams, Radical Face, Milky Chance, Vance Joy, Broken Back, Indie/Rock bands
Books: Da vinci Code, Harry Potter ...
(And I just realized that it's everytime someone asks for a good book/movie that you stangely forget every movie/book that you saw since the day you were born)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- Hiking up an active volcano in Indonesia completely alone at sunrise because I was too cheap to pay for the bus tour :)

Teach, Learn, Share

Ask me something, and I'll try to answer. If I don't know it, I'll make sure to build up a credible story so that you believe me.... yeah.. no sorry I'm not that kind of person. What I don't know is what I can't teach. But I can teach you to speak/understand/write french, the story of our nation, how to make your own pastas or the secret of the Universe.
