About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Try to build a community that will support each other in the small town where I now live.

ABOUT ME

I am always eager to learn more, to discover more and to meet new people, this is why I love travelling. I've worked on organic farms in the past because I have this long term goal to try to be as self-sustainable as possible and be part of a positive community. I am a grounded person that tries to live in the present moment as much as possible, but anyway my very bad memory helps me to not do otherwise. I'm someone joyful and I love life, I like to climb trees and to step on crunchy tree leaves on the ground. I also try to see different perspective of a situation before to make my own opinion.

PHILOSOPHY

Rien n'arrive pour rien dans la vie.
Community will save us!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I spread the word about the couchsurfing experience and try to get as many people as I can involved. I also try and help my fellow travelers out wherever and whenever I can with tips/hints/tricks etc.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've couchsurfed in Canada, USA, Europe and Colombia, very nice experiences so far. I want to do it more. I think this is the best way to meet different people with different values and way of life.

Interests

Humm, let see... listen to music, play sports, sailing, love and be loved, organic agriculture, gardening, build things, help people out, be in the nature, camping, critical thinking, be with different cultures, different ways of life, different opinions, traveling, dancing, singing...

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies:
FLOW-For the Love Of Water, Home, Requiem for a dream, Fight Club, Into the wild, Story of Stuff, all the Xavier Dolan movies

Books:
No Logo, The Otesha book, The Alchemist, Le Petit Prince

Music:
I love Quebec music, folk, indie, old rock, blues, electro and anything good

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I did the Katimavik program and this is actually the best and the most intense 9 months of my life. I've got to learn a lot about myself, the environment and about life in general. I've met so many amazing people during the program and it's something that I'll never forget.

I've hitchhiked three times across North America by myself.

I stayed 3 months in Senegal in Africa and this was one of the most open minding experience I've ever had.

I stayed on my sailboat for 6 months on Salt Spring Island.

I hiked 5 days in the jungle of Colombia to get to the Ciudad Perdida, "the lost city", an aboriginal area of the country.

I did scuba diving for 4 days in Taganga, Colombia.

Teach, Learn, Share

Well, I can give you tips and tricks about building things! For sure, teaching French and English are the best thing I can do and I guess anything that you'd like to know that I know!

I want to learn more Spanish, and always more about sailing!

I'd like to share everything that we could share in a discussion!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share some Quebec dishes, like the famous poutine, or other meal of course. We can do some language exchange since I speak French and English. And of course, I can help you out with a construction project.
