Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Learning about the whole world to try, one day, to eventually, maybe, understand my ownself...
ABOUT ME
Haha! All about me. I'd like to know it!
Let's start with the fact that english is not my first language (I should change the expert category from it...) I perfectly understand it and speak it pretty well, but has you'll see (if you keep reading) I'm not pretty good at writing it (in fact, it would be a pleasure to get this profile corrected so I don't look like a total idiot...).
I'm a guy from Montreal, Québec, Canada.
I'm 22 year old and I work as a waiter in a nice restaurant. For the first time of my life, I've decided to stop studying 'cause I wasn't sure of what exactly I would like to do or study. So I decided to work an travel in autumn, in Ireland (I've got some irish blood and the history of Ireland and Quebec are really similar, and to be honest, I love stout).
Yes I'm the kind of person who like to party and have fun, but I like to enjoy a calm diner with a good bottle of wine, 2 or 3 friends and some great conversation.
I'm doing improvisation (let's call it theatrical improvisation) since I'm 12. Let say it gave my whole self-confidence, and an enormous sense of humor.
PHILOSOPHY
I like to feel like I'm accomplishing something. Whatever if it the thing in question is to learn, to work, to laugh, to meet people or to travel.
I want to die (not right now!!!) and say to myself, ¨at least I've done something¨
Oh, and laughing is really important to me. I'm part of those who think EVERYTHING can be laugh off, what matters is the way we do it.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I'll update this part when i'll have used for real this website. It looks like an awesome community but I haven't participated to it yet.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I wish I'll have some to tell you about!
Interests
I'm the kind of person interested in quite everything without being an expert on one subject. But here's a little list:
-People (sounds weird but it's true; from any classes of people from any religious view or education level, there's always something to learn from others, whatever it's good or bad.)
-Political Science (especially the arabic countries)
-Animals (I knew at 3 years old what a zoologist was and wanted to be one, until I found out the amount of studies that a zoologist needs to become one... I still got the time to do it..!)
- animals
- writing
- education
- wine
- partying
- reading

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Being 9 weeks in Mali and Senegal, at 18 years old with a friend of mine, without organized tour or humanitarian work. Just the two of us in Africa, land of smile and happiness (in contrast with the apparent poverty...!)
