Music, Movies, and Books

Music - Karim Ouellet, Lisa Leblanc, Stromae, Mes aïeux
Really I enjoy all kinds of music, everything from The Beatles to Avicii, Spanish guitars and African drums.

Movies - I enjoy comedies and mystery films. I recently finished the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo trilogy and loved it!

Books - It's been quite a while since I've read a book in English.. But as far as French literature goes, I'm a huge fan of Camus and absurdist philosophy. I've also spent a considerable amount of time reading and studying authors from Quebec's "Révolution tranquille" --Pierre Vallières, Michèle Lalonde, Michel Tremblay, etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Having spent only 4 semesters studying French, I was hired as a coach/interpreter at a hockey school in Quebec City. Now, after 4 years speaking the language, I'm mistaken for a native quebecker and I'm proud to be un Québécois adopté!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach French (I almost became a French teacher in New England) or English (I almost became an English teacher in Martinique). I'd love to learn Russian!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm always willing to engage in good conversation and healthy debate. I'm a talker 😁
