About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Australia was awesome... what about South America?

ABOUT ME

I'm someone easy-peasy, trying to take it simple and as it comes. I appreciate all good moments around a campfire, drinking a beer (or more), listening music, trying new things, diving, fishing, snowboarding, chillaxing... In fact I appreciate every and each little thing this life offers me and try to enjoy it to the max.

PHILOSOPHY

Everything that doesn't kill you make you stronger.
You only get out what you put in.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had my first Couchsurfing experience in Melbourne, Australia. I stayed at Jodee's place for 4 nights, enjoyed great meals, with a cup (or two) of delicious australian wine. I cooked them a typical canadian sheppard pie... I think they liked it!!! TY CS

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Las Vegas is a very differend place... where you can buy beer 24/24 and drink on the sidewalk!!! All they want is that you gamble all your money. Grand Canyon is wonderful, but be careful to choose your day, wind is your ennemy! Australia is ... wicked cool! 10 months, over 25 000 km of straight/long/dirt/amazing road, strange animals, awesome food, funny people, and a lot of colorful fishes!
