About Me

I change my profile almost compulsively. I started it when I was on a trip to Europe, but now that I'm back in Montréal I guess I could host.

I try to have as few expectations as possible, and to go "where life leads me". I'm looking for day-by-day adventures, foundational life experiences (not really), and good old fun.

ENTP/INTP Budget: $$

Je suis un étudiant en année sabbatique, retournant aux études en automne. Ce profil a été créé lors de mes voyages, mais je suppose que je pourrais maintenant héberger a mon tour

J'essaye de ne pas avoir trop d'attentes concrètes. J'ai le goût du voyage, bien sur, mais pas tant de désirs particuliers.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Right now, meeting up and maybe hosting.

If I can be honest, this "Why I'm on Couchsurfing" section of everyone's profile is always the least interesting, and I never pay much attention to it.

Interests

Food staples of the world, Film nights, Ultimate practical footwear, Public transit, Short-distance cycling, Having a drink with someone, Long-distance cycling. Incessant whistling

I read on the bus but I always lie the book flat so that it doesnt look like im showing off, although i probably am

Music, Movies, and Books

Music:
I like anything Robert Fripp or Brian Eno have touched

Movies:
my friends have shown me Robert Bresson, Nuri Bilge Ceylan, Louis Malle, Yasujirō Ozu, Ousmane Sembene, Abderrahmane Sissako, and Bela Tarr

Books:
im buying cheap bouquins that fit into my jacket pocket. not all of them are good. I wish I read more, and I know that there's a certain slice of high-calibre couchsurfers for whom the "Books" section is the first thing they check out, and I'm sure I don't always "pass the test". Anyway, fwiw, my favourite author is John Crowley.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I jumped into the river off the bridge. It was pretty high up, but i guess you have to have had been there. Plus i like barely hesitated, but another guy took like an hour to build up the courage

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach some rudimentary piano. my cooking is not bad for a student

I think I'd give good day tours of montreal and alright night tours

I'm always interested in learning languages, or learning how to make a culturally significant dish

What I Can Share with Hosts

Human contact, the cleanup, material goods

Countries I’ve Visited

Belgium, France, Germany, Guatemala, Italy, Mexico, Nepal, Netherlands, Switzerland, United Kingdom, United States
