About Me

CURRENT MISSION

just to live a plenty life. yet I guess it's quite a mission :P

ABOUT ME

so funny to try to fit someone in that little tinny square.

Well, I'm a music lover, i grew up into it and this is definitely my drug. The second one is travelling, but it shares its silver place with people. I just think that everyone, as we're all unique, has something to give, to share, to bring to everyone else. I believe in the idea we grow by knowing difference, and we can just take advantage from diversity.

Yeh well, this is all very serious stuff but I'm also very able to laugh, wich is my third addiction. I advise you, I'm half french so sometimes my humour is not specially funny - but anyway you can laugh at me in those cases.

This third addiction is obviously shared with partying. Anywhere, terraces, parks, around a fire, all night long on the beach, on a roof, in the bush, there no best place cause they're all the best.

I'm just trying to live my life as if today was the last one, and being aware everyday of the chance I have.

PHILOSOPHY

carpe diem

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've been welcomed few times in my trip in Europe, by awesome hosts, i should say. Then in France as I stayed few months in Bordeaux and used Couchsurfing activities to meet new people (if you guys are going in a place for a while please try that!! you'll meet wonderful people!!!).

Then bakc in Quebec, since 2010, I've host some souchsurfers - few, as my availability is not constant niether big.

But ask me, as I always like to meet new people - even if it's just the time of a drink or a walk somewhere!
