ABOUT ME

I'm a PhD student in Atmospheric Physics at Dalhousie University (Halifax, Canada). My research is focused on coastal fog and marine aerosol chemistry. I try to enjoy life as much as possible by discovering new places around and traveling to the less busy places. The good side of being a graduate student is that research and conferences make me travel a lot, so even though my vacations are usually pretty short I get to travel a fair share.

PHILOSOPHY

I think it's important to make a difference in the world, as little as it can be. I'm a big fan of truth and honesty.

"Seuls ceux qui ont des cheveux longs ont peur, car personne ne peut tirer les cheveux de celui qui n'en a pas." (Only those with long hair are scared, because no one can pull the hair of the one who has none.)

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I started my CouchSurfing experience in Iceland which I think was a really good thing. First because Icelandic people are amazing and so generous, and second because I wouldn't have enjoyed Iceland as much if I hadn't used CouchSurfing. I didn't surf at anyone's place there, I just met surfers, but my experience was worth it. I didn't expect it to be so interesting, so rewarding. Maybe I was just lucky but I don't think so... We all have that same passion, about travelling and discovering other cultures, can't make anything else than a good time when we meet.

Since then I have been hosted several times by great hosts in: Sault Ste. Marie (Canada), Moscow (Russia), St. Petersburg (Russia), Burlington (VT, USA), Berlin (Germany), Poznan (Poland), Vienna (Austria), Nome (AK, USA), Ushuaia (Argentina).

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Spent two months on a research ship at the North Pole, with no internet or telecommunication for 51 days.

教，学，和分享

I can read/write Korean (without understanding much which makes it pretty useless) and I can teach French of course. I can also teach a few mental calculation techniques.

I want to learn more languages (improve Japanese, and especially German).

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

My experience, past travelling, and vision of life. I think it covers a lot of potential conversations already.
