Hello, my name is Patrick, I was born and raised near Montreal, Canada. I speak English, French and intermediate Spanish. Since my young age, I've always been interested in the human being, philosophy and health in general. Over the years, I extended my interest to a more holistic way, including the environment and sustainability. I embrace a healthy lifestyle as well as deep and meaningful relationships with others. I'm really open-minded and I like having actively engaged conversations and to share travel stories and past experiences.

I traveled for over a year in 2017 and more recently, I stayed in rural Guatemala for 2 months. I volunteered almost everywhere I've been. The people I met made my journey unique and unforgettable. I'm looking forward to making new friendships all around the world and keep on learning about life.

I am studying to become an English Teacher (ESL). I will be in Spain for a Spanish immersion program from June to August where I will also be traveling around in Europe.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people, share stories, knowledge, to make worldwide friends and to help travelers that might need a place to stay :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I would say that leaving my hometown to travel is the best thing I've done so far but to be more precise I can say that my best experience was when I lived in Hawaii for 4 months while volunteering on an organic farm there.

Teach, Learn, Share

It would be a pleasure to teach English and French as well as share everything that I know about Canada. I can also share what I've learned during my travels, share my beliefs, dreams, and experiences.
