About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Do stuff.

ABOUT ME

I'm a hospital pharmacist that left his job to travel the world with my girlfriend, Maripier. We have no place to call home, for now.

We are travelling for a year around the world, and as of 2013/06 we have been to :
- Japan
- Vietnam
- Singapore
- Thailand
- Laos
- Cambodia
- Malaysia (Kuala Lumpur)
- Australia
- New Zealand
- South Korea
- London, Paris, Prague, Berlin, Munich
- Italy

... and we still have two more months in front of us.

We are French-Canadians hailing from Gatineau, Quebec. We've lived for the last five years in Quebec City, and we are moving to Montreal when we come back.

We like the usual stuff : travelling, good food (and cooking it), good wine, cycling, trekking, snorkel and scuba diving, reading, movies and music. We're pretty open, and we try everything we can when we have the chance. When we travel, we tend to try everything at least once, even if it's way out of our comfort zone.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm not sure I have one. Be happy?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've hosted for four years now, and I've never had a bad experience.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It's not easy to find a couch, but when you do it's rewarding.

Interests

Everything. Seriously. I love to learn, and I love to teach even more.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm a prog rock / prog metal / post-rock guy, but I also enjoy jazz and classic rock from time to time.

I like historical books over any other genre, but I've read my fair share of novels.

My favorite movies are all on my hard drive, you can come and get them anytime. In general, I am a big fan of Mizayaki, Tarantino, Scorcese and Chan-wook Park.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My best souvenirs are when I travelled, as a kid, with my dad in the Rockies for some insane snowboard trips.

Driving a motorcycle for 800 km through Laos was the highlight of our trip so far.

Teach, Learn, Share

I make digital things work, from a microwave to Photoshop.

I've taught snowboard dozens of time. If you show up during winter, all you need is a day or two and you are set for life.

I'm a pharmacist, eh.
