About Me

CURRENT MISSION

go up North

ABOUT ME

I'm curious and easily fascinated by stuff. If the flow is good I go with it, if not I paddle.
I grew up in Québec. I lived in Oslo for the past 3 years. I just moved to Fairbanks for work. I have no idea of where I'll be in 3 years.

PHILOSOPHY

randomness is very difficult to achieve

I have unofficially couchsurfed and hosted friends and friends of friends before being an official member of the website.
I surfed couches in Russia, Iceland, Germany, Sweden and Norway and met unbelievably nice people everytime.
I have been travelling/without an official home for a while now so I haven't hosted a lot of people lately. I have met some of you for walks, coffees and drinks and it's been great. I just moved to Alaska and am working on getting a place to stay and a proper couch to offer.

Teach, Learn, Share

I cook. I am especially good at firegrilling marshmallows.
I can recognize a fossil from a rock. I know some dinosaur funfacts.
I am a good snowman builder.
I'm also pretty good at tying knots in cherry stems.
I speak french, english, norwegian.

I have learnt some Russian in the past. It now mostly gone, but I wish to get back to it.
I'ld love to be able to build an igloo.

Book are there to be read, music to be listen to, movies to be seen. I like to know about people's favorites and recent discoveries, and I'm suggesting stuff to others all the time.
