About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Trying to assemble all my interest in one big whole bunch. Trying to survive trough medical school with sports, arts and crafts.

ABOUT ME

Hey I'm Arnaud, I like people and wildlife.

PHILOSOPHY

Dude, be optimistic. Change what you can change and if you cannot change it, let it be. Eat less meat and bike more.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've been to various CS meetings, helping people learning french or english. I've been hosted by magnificient people in Romania. I also did some workaway and WWOOFing (you get the picture) in the USA, Switzerland and Kosovo.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couchsurfed once in Paris, and then had no luck until Romania! I'd like to host some people, but I don't really live in a touristic area. Nonetheless, if you want to visit the Laurentian region of Quebec, contact me! I grew there I can show you around!

Interests

I like and tried way too much stuff to put them all here! I like to learn stuff, everywhere, in school, on the internet or in the forest. I like to move a lot, I hike, I bike , I ski, I canoe (can I say that?). I love to meet new people and to learn about them, their languages, everyhting. I love my girlfriend too.
