About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learning about the underground art culture of different countries.

ABOUT ME

Funny dude from Montreal who love to meet new people and try new things.

I consider myself an entrepreneur since I love organizing events and I have my own clothing company with a friend of mine. I've done a couple of travels in all included resorts but I found that kind of boring so I decided to start traveling with a backpack in different countries. Couch surfing seemed like the ideal place to go since my objectif is to really get into the culture in the country i'll be visiting.

What else... I currently work as a computer consultant wich I love since i'm always on the road meeting new clients. My friends would say I'm a "happy go lucky" type of person and I have a girlfriend I love very much.

I think that's about it for now. Can't wait to start a new adventure.

PHILOSOPHY

Be and let be.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Can't wait to have something to put there!

Interests

Art, entrepreneurship, fashion and new challenges.

I love going to art expos, music shows and movies. If i'm in your country it's probably because it's renown for one of those things. Contemporary art it's really my thing.

For the entrepreneurship/fashion part, and it's probably one of the most important thing to me, I have a clothing company (Lab Design) that a friend and I started last year. It's going really well. Long story short, we hire artists we like (mostly art students) and make clothing out of their arts. We also organise art exhibition with those artists.

I also have a passion for "survival". I love to learn about nature, self reliance and things like that, wich is funny for a computer guy. I love being in the woods, start fires and make camps with only what I find in my surroundings.

Ho, I love Poker too.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: Almost every Tarentino movies, especially Pulp Fiction. Many other movies but I won't make an extensive list.

Music: My favorite musician is Jean Leloup wich you probably don't know except if you've lived in Québec. My favorite genre would be Indie Rock/Electronic.

Books: I'm not so much of a reader, the only books I read are about survival and Texas Hold'em.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

1- Survived 3 days straight in the mixt forest of canada in fall (5celsius) with a good friend of mine. We only had 1L of water, a knife, couple of matches, rope and a small bag of peanuts. One of the scariest / most awesome moment of my life. Really, while you're there it's not that fun, it's more of a challenge but thinking back about it now I really don't regret doing it and I would certainly do it again... in summer tho.

2- Bungee jumping. Nice adrenaline rush would do it again.

3- Rafting. Great too.

Teach, Learn, Share

Definately could teach you about computers, but generally people are not interested about that.

I know a couple of things about survival, poker and art.
