About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Save my soul...

ABOUT ME

Hello everyone! I'm from Canada ( the french part of it ! Quebec City) and this year I'm in hell of a ride! I'm on a sabatical and ready to move EVERYWHERE! So if you want a Canadian slave, there's your time! ahahah (Slave for a couch of course!).

Right now i'm on Granada for a month to learn Spanish. Mid june I need to go back home.. but I will be back in the old continent for the Olympic game of London in July. Then I will be up for anything ! I will move where's the best!!!

My goal is to discovers as much about the other country as I can. I've think about the trans-siberien, the china ( at the end of it!), the india, maybe Italy to learn how to make pasta and Gelados!! I need to learn Italian then.. oh.. maybe Myanmar and the Philippines! oh.. or New-Calédonie to learn Kite Surfing, Australia..!! I'm a PADI diver too !

PHILOSOPHY

Avaro omnia desunt, inopi pauca, sapienti nihil.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've try to host people at home, but i'm not living near the sweet spot. I'm leaving by the mountain, near the sky slope, but there No bus, no transportation!! and I'm a little far from the city ( like 30 mins car drive) so, my couch was never really "occupied".

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've crash many many time in the city after parties in CS friends, but nothing really out of my beloved city.
