About Me

ABOUT ME

I've graduated (MA) in regional development. I'M currently working for Moisson Outaouais, regional food bank

I'm living in Gatineau for more than ten years. Gatineau is just a rockthrow of Ottawa, the Canada's capital. It's a very interesting region: two cities facing eachother, two cultures, two languages, two provinces. People still cross the river everyday to go to work. As the Capital, the region have a lot of federal offices.

PHILOSOPHY

My favorite personnal motto is "Tout finit toujours par s'arranger" it could be translated to "Everything get to be fixed" it could be understood as "Every problem has it's solution"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

On my trip to Spain (summer 2005) I had my first experience with couchsurfing. I spent three night at Jon's house in Denia (Costa blanca). It was a good experience, I'm looking foward to meet new couchsurfer.

Although I've passed numerous nights on friends couches.

Interests

I think what I enjoy the most is traveling and I don't get to do it as often as I want. I like being elsewhere, to see things for the first time, the dizziness you feel when you get to a place for the first time. Then I enjoy to blend with the locals, to start to understand the new place you're in, to understand how's everything is organized around you.
