About Me

CURRENT MISSION

See as much as i can before i start teaching so i show my future students what i learned of the world.

ABOUT ME

I live in Canada, Quebec, i study at university Laval to become a highschool teacher (in math). I want to learn as much of the world as possible before i finish my program so i can teach my future students how interesting the world is.
I have worked at a camp for children in need (for 5 summers) and this changed me. I wanted to learn more from people, i figured you could learn from them as much as from anyone else if you asked the right questions. I like to keep in touch with my friends, go out or go see a movie.

PHILOSOPHY

Know your limits and try to get over them (when you can) while respect other limits that you cannot change. Try new things, as long as you feel remotely confortable with that, you should try as many things as you can (especially when you are travelling). If you can, try to share what you learned while travelling with your friends and don't be shy to tell a story or two. Most notable moment of your travel as well as some things that surprised you are as good a subject.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have been to some couchsurfing events including a couchsurfing meeting held once a week in Salvador (Bahia, Brazil).

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have been to some couchsurfing events including the couchsurfing meeting held once a week in Salvador (Bahia, Brazil). I met some couchsurfers from Salvador in many parties in Salvador (the 2 of july, Saint-John and random shows in the historic plaza).

Interests

I like swimming, going to the beach, relaxing, going out with friends, learning new things and walking.
Among other things i like reading series (especially fantasy/adventure) and watching manga. I ice skate with my friends about once every week or every other week. I love to go on trips in the wood (sleeping a couple of nights in the wood in a national park and such) fishing and canoeing.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like all kinds of music (although i prefer electro house i will listen to anything proposed).
Books, a couple of series i liked :
A Stormlight Archive (second book comming in fall)(my favorite)
A malazan empire, book of the fallen (around 9 books)
The Wheel of Time (14 books)
Mortal Instruments (not quite as good as the above but still worth a look)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Coyotes hunting a couple of meters from my tent.

Teach, Learn, Share

To some extent, basic survival in the wilderness.
