Music, Movies, and Books

My taste spectrum in music is wide: Soundtracks (Zimmer, Desplat); Classical (Bach, Chopin, Gould); Contemporary ( Beatles, Coldplay, Twenty One Pilots); and others !

I love cartoons specially those of Tex Avery. I like blockbusters (Back to the Future, Gladiator) but also documentaries, independent and «répertoire» movies.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Crossing the Canadian Rockies with my brother on our bicycles. Moving forward using our muscles while facing nonetheless the elements. You really enjoy what you see daily and are amazingly closer to people.

I did motorbike taxi in a favella in Rio. (I was the passenger, though!)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can obviously bring a gift, most likely something local, like the Montreal’s delicious bagels. Of course, I would exchange stories & perspectives on life and talk about my hometown and offer the vision of a north American who speak french as a primary language. I am really respectful and love to laughs and smiles. I'll definitely help clean and would like to share a meal and hear about your life!
