Bonjour, je suis professeur en massothérapie et formateur pour le programme de massage en milieu scolaire MISP. www.misa-quebec.org J'ai une magnifique fille de maintenant déjà 21 ans et je suis passionné par le fait de pouvoir contribuer à rendre cette planète un meilleur endroit pour les enfants par le fait d'enseigner la communication par le toucher. PHILOSOPHY If one word resume my personal philosophy, it would be BALANCE. Although I am passionate about all I do, I am far from extreme in anything. I like to help and see what I can do for someone. That is why I like so much to teach. In any case, I get to learn as well. Si un mot pouvait résumer ma philosophie personnelle, ce mot serait ÉQUILIBRE. Bien que je suis passionné par tout ce que je fais, je ne pense pas être extrémiste en quoique ce soit. J'aime pouvoir aider et voir en quoi je peux servir le bien-être des autres. C'est pourquoi j'aime autant enseigner soit le massage ou les nombreux sports que je pratique. Dans tous les cas, j'apprends toujours autant que je donne.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING Well, I get to travel a lot to train new instructors around America and Europe and... and God knows where! Up to now, I have had nothing else but great CS experiences. Looking for some more opportunities again. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE As said, these experiences had me redefining the word hospitality. My hosts have been incredible.. I am also happy when I can receive CS guests.
Music, Movies, and Books
Personal growth, challenges, outdoors, love (in a general sense). Like soft acoutic music. Listen to different kinds of music. Love to read as well. Read everything from Bernard Werber and Eckhart Tolle. Can't take anymore violence scenes in movies if not for the purpuce of the film.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Best thing that has happened to me is by far my daughter. Otherwise, I travelled a lot. I enjoy so much my work, working for children wellbeing. Love to offer massage at the spa where I also train new staff. Assisted 12 births as a certified doula.. Some of the greatest experiences of my life.
Teach, Learn, Share
I love to learn and teach what I know. Tennis, rollerblade, ski, massage, etc. I like to discuss about the planet's future, philosophy, spirituality, etc.
What I Can Share With Hosts
Nice discussion over a meal.
My Interests
Well, I like many things. I do a lot of sport. I am a tennis, cross country and telemark ski instructor. I cycle and rollerblade a lot. I love to take my skate wherever I travel. But mostly, I like to learn and try anything. Long ago I was an outdoor guide. I am also in golfing. I am interested by whatever may bring passion to someone's life.
