Overview
About Me
Quebecer from the small town of Rouyn-Noranda and currently studying in Quebec-City. I love reading and writing. I've got a blog depicting the adventures I've done in my last 3-month solo trip to Italy in a high-literature style English. I play a bit of piano in my spare times and I never refuse an invitation to playing board games. I absolutely love biking, I've done a 10 day trip of bike along the Appenini in Italy, accross 7 regions. I love good cuisine, cultural difference and incredible individuals.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
When I was in Italy, I met my best friend there from Bologna and was saved two times from sleeping on the streets by the kindest of individuals from Couchsurfing. I would love to meet other incredible souls from all over the world in order to grow even more as an individual. Cultural clashes and new experiences are some of the things I like the most. I'd also like to act as a tour guide to show you around Québec, and to practice my Italian if you also know the language. Im planning on writing a book also, so share me your best adventures!

Music, Movies, and Books
Anything but Country, I hate Country. My taste in music is pretty diverse, ranging from calm piano music to heavy metal.
The Grand Budapest Hotel.
Great Expectations from Charles Dickens. Anything written by Charles Dickens in fact. Maybe add some Faust and some Don Quixote in the pot and you've got a tasty meal assured. Oh and some Herman Melville, everything old and powerful.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
When I was in Tunisia to see my grand-mother, an incredible summer hurricane took place really quickly in the city which caused numerous accidents and events : electrical transformers went on fire, a congestion took place on the road and people got out of their cars to fight each other, an electrical outlet was drowned by the outpour of rain which electrocuted someone and finally, a car got fricking engulfed in quicksand and water. All of that in 30min.
I also did a 10 day trip accross 7 regions of Italy with my incredible pink racing bike "La Stella Rosa" wayyy too small for me (Francesco Moser 1994) for the small price of 254€.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach you French, English, Italian anything about Literature, Physics, Sports, Philosophy, Meditation, Italian culture, good Coffee, good Wine, good Pizza, good Pasta. I know a bit of piano. I'd love to learn how to cook better, to better myself physically, mentally and emotionally, to enjoy the present more, to make new experiences.
What I Can Share with Hosts
Talking about books. Learning french or english or italian. Imparting my vast knowledge of animes, video-games, or other nonsensical subjects. Practising piano, talking about Italy, philosophy, everything in fact.
