CURRENT MISSION

To seek new countries, new cultures. To boldy go where no Canuck has gone before

ABOUT ME

Where to start? A year ago, I dropped my career and life back in Montreal and attempted a leap of faith to Australia. After working for one year, the dream came to an end and I'm slowly making my way home. And once I got home, I got a job in Vancouver and left my home town once again to live in a new city.

I love to travel and i'm a HUGE foodie! I love to sampling the local cuisine while enjoying the culture and the beauty of the country.

Aside for my love for food (both eating and cooking), I'm also a proud Montrealer, loving his Habs (GO HABS GO!!!) but also loves to travel. I'm always open to try new things and enjoy life. Music is my life (I was a classically trained pianist since the age of 5, but stopped at 16) and I can't live without it.

PHILOSOPHY

K.I.S.S: Keep It Simple Stupid

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have hosted a few CS Food tour in Sydney where I brought a dozen of CSer to Cabramatta, and introducing them about vietnamese food and join meet ups and meet other CSer with a couple of bevies.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Never got the chance to couch surf yet, but I met heaps of amazing people at meet ups and events.

Interests

I could spend hours writing in this paragraphs and I wouldn't come close to finish.

I love to discover new things and meet all sorts of people. I am very open minded and embrace new things that I have never tried or eaten before.

Ever since I moved to Australia, I am always at Manly Beach on Saturday (assuming it's not pouring cats and dogs) playing beach volleyball, and if time/money allows, I'll be under water scuba diving.

As a computer guy, I'm a huge and very proud geek (but not the stereotypical one from the movies), food (everywhere I go, I make a mission to try out the local specialty, even if it could be bugs or other "revolting" things) and music.

Music, Movies, and Books

Another area where I can spend hours. I watch alot of movies (a bit too much to the point that I can quote various movie quotes) and used to read a lot (thriller and mystery are my all time favorites although I do enjoy satirical and light hearted books).

Cult movies: Star wars (4, 5 and 6. 1, 2 and 3 never happened in my mind), Office Space, Spaceballs, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, any Mel Brooks movie

Music: Whatever my mood feels like, but I tend to prefer rock alternative on my regular days but a good evening of hip hop is always welcomed.

Books: Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy is one of my all time favorite, sci fi/fantasy/mystery usually catches my attention.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Crawling in a cave in pitch darkness, abseiling down a cave, eating (more tricked) into eat dog meat (NEVER AGAIN!), having a koala kiss me (true story!), swimming next to a sea turtle.

Teach, Learn, Share

Sharing my passion for food, and learning about different cultures (and cuisines) is up on the list. Snowboarding is another sport that I enjoy a lot and teaching/showing about Hockey is a big thing for me too. I always enjoy teaching people about technology (not just about programming but also the culture and advancement in general).

I love to snowboard and I've been doing it for the past 10 years or so, so I can teach (well show you the basics) of snowboarding and how to properly carve.
