CURRENT MISSION

Earn a living teaching cinema. Raise my 3 year old son.

ABOUT ME

I'm a curious person, I love to travel and learn as much as possible about the cultures I encounter. I'm a pretty calm person and I like to take it easy. I enjoy art and creativity. Most of all, I enjoy cinema, photography and theatre.

I live with my 3 year old son and my girlfriend. We also have 2 cats. Being a family who loves to travel, we know how difficult it can be to find a host. If you're traveling with children, you're more than welcome to stay with us. Of course, we're also interested in meeting you if you don't have children.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I travel, I host and I surf.

When I'm travelling, I enjoy being hosted by like-minded people. Often, my hosts became friends and some of them came to Montreal and I got to return the favor.

When I'm hosting, I find that being in contact with travellers is much like travelling at home. I like helping out travellers and showing them around town. Locals know more about their city than what you can find in travel guides and on the Internet.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I surfed a few and I hosted a few and I made a few friends along the way. I only had great experiences!

I've hosted more than I've surfed. So far, I've only surfed 2 times and it's funny because both persons who hosted me came to Montreal later on and I had the chance to return the favor. In total I've hosted about 10 times.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to a lot of indie rock. Montreal has a pretty interesting music scene and I listen to a lot of local bands. I'm open to any kind of music.

I enjoy reading comic books like american splendor, the boys, the walking dead, or anything by Garth Ennis, Gotlib, Jodo, etc.

When I go to a cinema theatre, I enjoy watching films by Alain Resnais, David Lynch, Errol Morris, Alejandro Jodorowsky, Costa Gavras, Spike Lee, Michel Gondry, George Romero, the Coen brothers, Simon Pegg, etc. I also enjoy experimental cinema. For instance, I like the work of Stan Brakhage, Arthur Lipsett, Kenneth Anger, etc.
I think that in order to present some interest, a film or art in general needs to present a new way of seeing or feeling things.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
