ABOUT ME
Hi, I love traveling and to meet new people, I'm passionate and I love learning new things. I love art, nature, the sea, riding my bike, listening music and getting new ones. I'm pretty sociable, I can be with all kind of people in any kind of places and will find the way to engage conversations. I like to be in shape (yoga, swimming, dance) and I eat well and love food. I'm easy going, I laugh easily, I like to have fun times.
PHILOSOPHY
Life is short and we should enjoy it as much as possible. I think we all have the potential to become, always, better persons. Traveling is a very good way to have a better understanding of life and to see beyond our own individual. If I can get some wisdom in my live, I will have succeed.

Food, people and landscapes of Thailand, snorkeling in the ocean, free dolphins swimming next our boat,
Road Trip in Baja California... I dont really know what to write, I guess everything could be amazing depending of the point of view, lets talk about it when we'll meet!!
Teach, Learn, Share
As a photographer myself, I know it pretty well. I speak 3 languages and I'm always down to teach what I know. I know Montreal very well since I was born here and like to enjoy life: I know the good restaurants, bars, parks, movie theaters, theaters, museums, galleries. etc. I've been living (staying and working) in Tokyo and in Mexico - I know those cities pretty well too from a foreign point of you. I dance a bit salsa and love to dance!
