Hello there,
My name is Justin. I am a French literature student in Montréal currently working on my baccalaureate. I’ve travelled a bit everywhere around the globe, but I now think that it is time to give back to the CS community and be the host for a moment.

I am a very open minded person. I do enjoy meaningful conversations around a good bottle of wine or saké with good friends. Walking around town is my favourite thing to do. I love discovering new things in my city and the best way is by foot. I’ll show you around no worries.

PLEASE REFER TO THE LIST BELOW when sending me a personal request :
· Be ready to hang out (not for a free place to stay);
· Be a queer ally / queer friendly;
· Be able to go beyond the imposed limitations of the perceived class, culture, language, nationality and religious divides. Love and Respect.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I wish to meet interesting individuals of different backgrounds. I appreciate the value of travel, the chance to see yourself outside your own nationality and to develop the tools to navigate intercultural difference. I also appreciate the authenticity in having non-transactional relationships during travel, and think it is important to build social systems like CS that give alternatives to the capitalist system we live in.

There's no such thing as a coincidence in this world. What does exist is only the inevitable.

A man told me in Amsterdam that : « every moments of your life led you here ! » i live by that.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

✧ On my eighteenth birthday, I moved to Toronto ― alone.
✧ I hiked the vast and beautiful Grand Canyon ― got lost and found my way back.
✧ In Prague, I survived a fall of roughly twenty meters down a mountain getting chased by dogs from a camp I was too curious about.
✧ I hiked the entire length of the Plitvice Lakes in Croatia.
✧ I somehow managed to survived this long.
