About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Always learn and bring positive outcome to my surroundings.

ABOUT ME

Curious, Rational, very patient, artistic, thorough, observing, honest. Some might say mysterious, but it's not mine to tell.
Engaged: I used to volunteer in a few causes, such as Burrito Project Montreal, the UQAM's CRAPAUD gardens and was a member of the UQAM's student soup kitchen, the Ras-le-Bol.

PHILOSOPHY

My goal is to constantly expand my mind with knowledge, culture and experiences, as much as possible.
I try not to have expectations, to avoid bitterness but especially to keep an open mind and increase the likelihood of good surprises.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am more than willing to participate in workshops and activities to learn new abilities and make new encounters, as well as sharing my own abilities whenever possible.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've participated to several workshops thanks to CouchSurfing and surfed a couch three times now.

Interests

Anything that has a deep and interesting story to tell, be it music, art or even video games and comics. But anything that can expand my mind or culture is of interest to me.
Social justice causes, especially environmental, and helping others in general. Cooking, DIY projects, yoga, meditation, post-apocalyptics LARPs and possibly medieval LARPS and airsoft; I haven't got quite to it yet.
