About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Trying to finish my Ph.D., Taking time for me as much as I can, Sailing and thinking about sailing

ABOUT ME

I don't like routine, I have worked and lived in several countries. I'm authentic and I like to accomplish projects, to bring them to their finals destinations. I am not lazy although I take a lot of time to relax and enjoy time with friends and family. I have done a lot of sailing, windsurf and kitsurf and I keep on thinking about a longer world tour with 3-4 people on our or my sailboat. I you are interested about sailing, you can find more info about a cross-atlantic trip on http://mahanga.over-blog.com/.

I also like to cook and gardening, climbing and music (playing and listening). I am interested in science and nature.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have attended a few gathering with CS in Montreal. I have done a bike trip during 1 month in France where I have been hosted a lot. Back in Québec, I have host a lot in my share appartment. And I have CS a few time during different trip. Since my first day on CS, I have introduced more than 10 friends to it.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

First experience was in Norway. Last one, really intense. A bike trip from The hague until Marseille. Many people have opened their doors to me. This was a great experience and was really helpful to find a balance between loneliness and meeting people.
