About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Discover the world while enjoying the present!

ABOUT ME

Vegetarian epicurian? Always interested in new culinary experiences.
Born and raised by the St.Lawrence River, I have always been attracted by water and enjoy sailing, windsurfing, swimming.
Practicing yoga for a couple of years, always in search for more inner peace. Next step : meditation!
And, last but not least, father of four wonderful kids!

PHILOSOPHY

Better than yesterday, worse than tomorrow (sounds better in french;) Always trying to improve myself by getting to know more... especially about myself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None so far, but eager to start!

Interests

Visual arts of all kind, from the more classic ones (paintings, architecture) to the more contemporary (multimedia in the style of Moment Factory and Ex Machina). Not an expert by any mean, but I find it very inspiring.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music : electronic of all kinds (minimal, drum&bass, electroswing, psytrance, ...). I especially enjoy bands that don't care about what is music and what isn't to the taste of some, mixing electro with all kinds of music, instruments and cultures. Exemple? Mexican Institute of Sound, Balkan Beat Box, We are wolves, ...
Books : lots of them! What I am currently reading? On the road again (Kirouac), In search of the miraculous (Ouspensky), On s'en calisse (collective, on the student strike of spring 2012 in Québec)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Cupping in China. Great to equilibrate ying and yang, but it leaves marks in the back for weeks!

Teach, Learn, Share

Quebec history, cooking.
