About Me

I haven't used CS in a long time... I hosted quite a few people when I was living in Quebec City so among other things relevant to you, I know what being a good guest means and I ain’t no freeloader that’s for sure 🙂

I spent the last 3 years in a very remote place in Iqaluit on Baffin Island, so I didn’t host, cause no one goes up there lol...

I was the Executive Director of the Nunavut Francophones Association these past few years, but I decided not to sign another term to live my life a little...

I’m hitting the road again to see the beautiful west coast so I'm looking forward to meeting cool people on the way...

I live in my van right now... I’m not really in need of places, but I would really love meeting people and sharing stories around a bottle of wine, or two 😊

Cheers,

Max

PHILOSOPHY

To win without risk is to triumph without glory!

The more you know, the more you know you don't know.

Problems are the difference between reality and expectations.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm a retired percussionist ... I actually paid most of my studies playing in bars and restaurants for five years. At some point, I got sick of it and stopped...

I still jam here and there when I got the chance which, unfortunately, doesn't happen really often, so if you're a musician it's worth mentioning it ...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Made some pretty crazy fishing trips and travels ...

Teach, Learn, Share

I’m a certified herbalist who only knows that he knows nothing... and I’m a mushroom picking enthusiast... I also have a strong interest in survival skills, bushcraft and fishing, but I would probably die on the land within two weeks, so it might be best you teach me instead 😂

I don't teach music, I tried, but I strongly believe that the only thing you need is love and passion, the rest will come along ...
