ABOUT ME

i like spiders, gaby doesn't.
we are pretty ordinary people!
we take showers every two days or so and you can use our shower. We like to cook good food of all kinds. When I see something I don't know, I usually try to find out what it's about.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A Tuareg horseman galloping in full desert nomad regalia including two-handed sword and Louis Vuitton handbag (write if you want more details about this one!)

Teach, Learn, Share

Practical knowledge in Montreal: a ressource for arriving travelers is cafe L'Utopik 552 Ste-Catherine E., although this part of downtown can be a bit sketchy at night. When you are at the Station Centrale Bus Station downtown, just walk down (South) on Berri street one block to Ste-Catherine street, l'Utopik is almost right there on your left. Coffee, good food, hostelling, friendly people, Montreal ressources.
