About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Trying to adapt to the professional life...:-(

ABOUT ME

I am very open minded, i like to speak with people, exchange experiences.

PHILOSOPHY

I never regret investing in my stomach!

Always relativize and think about the future...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I had a very confortable couch in Montreal, that some French CS appreciated a lot!
I keep speaking about CS to my friends, and they little by little offer their couch!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Good experience in Bombay, India. Ive met an embassador of CS that help me a lot.
An other good experience in Urumqi, China, where a CS girl help me so much to find a good place to sleep!

Interests

I like music ( Electronic music such as Infected Mushrooms, Tiesto, James Holden; Rap: Cypress Hill, Dr Dre, Delinquent Habits, Westside connection; Reggae : Sizzla, Cappleton, Bob Marley of course...) I cannot live without music...I do a lot of sports : basket ball, swimming, ping pong, bicycle (which is my job in Montreal: bike messenger)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Go to Chongging, the biggest city in China, to do a speach as if I was a specialist in the Housing market in Canada. At this time, I was 21 and had been living only 2 year in Canada and of course didn't know anything about this subject! No one noticed anything, it just made me realise how Chinese people can lie!!

Bike trip to NYC : 200 km in three days, riding all around Manathan!!!
Road trip in Detroit and Chicago from Montreal...3600 km in three days, a kind of contest for my school(take pictures with the statue of Michael Jordan, the house of Eminem...)

Teach, Learn, Share

I have teached english to little Chinese kids, nice experience! They now have the beautiful French accent...:P
I'm learning Chinese, which is not an easy task but very interesting.
I like to share all my experiences with people and listen to them...Have good discussion, have fun, speak about anything...!
