About Me
CURRENT MISSION
D.I.Y. your life, others can't do it for you...
ABOUT ME
Undertook to get back to school, left my day job and moved from Rouyn-Noranda to Sherbrooke. Never left the country but I love to meet people from all around the world, it makes me travel somehow. I'm leaving next January for a trip to San Francisco Bay area, I'm pretty excited to stamp my passport for the first time!
I traveled to many places in Ontario/Quebec most of the time for tekno festivals. I'm hooked on the D.I.Y way of doing things, we organize freeparties with our soundsystem Abitek (www.abitek.org). I love to camp in new places with new people listening to new musics!
PHILOSOPHY
Make some fucking noise.
Don't stay spectators, be part of the party.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I'm offering my couch and hope to meet interesting people! I'd love to share some of the culture going around in Sherbrooke, shows, indie music, art centers and coop.
If you can't go visit other countries, bring other countries to you.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I hosted two times since I joined Couchsurfing in 2007. Once in 2009, helping a good friend that invited a couchsurfer but got a last minute job call. She asked me to host her surfer, it was a fun visit, good talk, good lunch and good music.
Last time was at my new place in Sherbrooke in 2010, I hosted three french travelers on their way to visit Quebec province.
My couch is open to new travelers, hoping to meet interesting people.

Teach, Learn, Share
I would like to learn more about sound synthesis and sequencing from people doing this for years.
I could teach a lot about internet, servers, voip, webradio, mixing, podcasting, and organising free parties in the wood.
Some people call me the TeknoTeknicien.
