About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I apparently used to practice couch surfing for years until I heard about that from a friend from France whom I first hook on hitchiking... I did travel a lot myself and always like to share peoples own culture and experience from all around the world.

ABOUT ME

As John Lennon once said : life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans... so I keep myself busy without any plans..I like it magic and spontaneous. Traveling the world with a neverending changing screen making people I met the soundtrack of my life movie.

PHILOSOPHY

Long live rock n roll...
no remorse, no regret...
what doesn't kill you make you stronger...
tks to all those prople who had said those truthfull things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I shared my couch already for years, without even been aware of that wonderful project. I don't see it as a one way thing though... I love to share my life experience as much as growing from others experiences...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

As I already told...I shared many many couchs in my life and many many people have already used mine (sorry, it is no longer virgin, but still in decent shape)..

Interests

Love the world, life, people, animals, but my biggest interest are, obviously, travelling and I really love music. I also enjoy reading books from whom I think I can learn something, either bout life or even myself... my only goal in life is to reach the end without having to say, I should have done this and that... better regret having done something than live with the remorse of not even have dare to try...

Iron Maiden to Kreator
till Holly McNarland to End of Green or Pyogenesis
with a slighly curve to Bérurier Noir

Love reading from philosophical achievement to rock n roll biography... I love to write myself, one day I'll keep on doin that..for now I'm taking inspiration in someone's memories..well, I now actually wrote 2 novels, 3rd one on it's way, guess I just need to kick my lazy ass... actualy, the 3rd one's been out for a while now, see...even too lazy to changed that on my CS profile ;)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing things I've seen were in the brightened eyes of people telling me their dreams and memories...according to me, I still hope I haven't seen paradise, but the world is full of amazing places..

Teach, Learn, Share

I've been a tourist guide in the Charlevoix region here in Québec so I guess I kinda know something about it...and I want to travel the whole world, so I'm always excited to here something new...

What I Can Share with Hosts

I guess I'm quite easy going, fun to share time with, open minded, love to cook (and mostly eat) good food, share some lovely craft beers and listen to interesting life story.... after all, isn't it all about sharing? :)
