ABOUT ME

All about me? I'm all about Couchsurfing bebe! I signed up on this site in... 2004 I think, right? It's written up there somewhere on my profile. Had read a tiny little article about it somewhere. Anyway I remember that back then, CS was so small that it took me about a week to screen through the 2,000 something profiles one by one and met everyone.

I was a 19 year old boy back then, student completely bored with his life, a little depressive on the sides and discovering this incredible website was a revelation. I was reading profiles of some real adventurous travellers, legends like the great Jim Stone and Steve Savage! It got me dreaming. Having barely ever travelled, and much less backpacked, I got the travel bug while sitting at home in front of my computer.

I finished school by bits in between jobs and flash trips all around North America, experiencing couchsurfing to the max, living amazing experiences with equally amazing people. But I needed more. 1-2 months trips is not enough, I wanted a taste of the real adventure. Being on the road for a very, very long time.

Well I did, met amazing people, seen beautiful places, learn a lot about other cultures. I even found the love of my life, my wife, while on the road on an island named Cebu in the Philippines.

PHILOSOPHY

See every place and try everything

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Other then actually couchsurfing, I have been involved with CS for years. I saw CS's volunteering structure start from a few people unoficially sending greetings to new surfers to what it is today. I have been a proud Global Ambassador for North America and one of many very active surfer from Couchsurfing Mecca that is Montreal. I was in the organisation team for the very first couchsurfing gathering and then collective in history which were both in Montreal, as well as for the 2007 snowball gathering.

兴趣

I am interested in cultures, politics, history, good food, music and movies, just the usual i guess.

I used to have a list of stuff i like, and that was pretty cool because sometimes people would come to me and say "yea I love that book as well!" or "that movie was great, did you ever watch..." and such. But I also felt like I was reducing myself to such a few things.... So screw the list. I like a lot of things, and i love to discover new things also.
