ABOUT ME

I'm a french canadian who has graduated of a master degree in architecture in 2014. I'm now doing my interships and expecting to become an architect.. one day!

After a big trip of 3 months in the Balkans after the end of my studies, I moved to Edinburgh where I worked in a cafe/restaurant mainly to improve my English. A bit more than a year later, I did a big move to the Big Smoke: London! I had the amazing opportunity to start my internships there in small architecture studio. At the same time, being in UK let me the occasion to keep traveling around Europe!

I'm a person who enjoys the present moment and sharing good moments with friends and family. I'm a really easy-going, respectful and open minded guy. I like to understand and learn about what is around me: people, culture, environment, buildings, history...

If there's one thing that people and friends usually say about me it's that I'm a smiling guy! And sometimes not for the better... Haha

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I haven't done so much couchsurfing yet, but few times that I did, it was always a really nice experience! That is perfect to get a better knowledge about the local culture. Also, my flatmate hosted some couchsurfers at home in Canada and it was a great way to meet nice people.

Sadly, I noticed more and more people, especially guys, are using this website as a dating one. Unfortunately it turned me off about using Couchsurfing as it was so difficult to find genuine hosts. I hope some people can prove me there are still true couchsurfers with the spirit of it!

Interests

Travelling is obviously one of my biggest interest! I love visiting new places, meeting new people and being brought out of my comfort zone.
I like hanging out with friends, listening music of any kind, playing the piano. I'm really into photography, drawing, and architecture or creative art or design in general. I really enjoy outdoor activities as trekking, hiking, biking, skiing or simply wandering around.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I did a 5 days trekking in Middle-Atlas in Morrocco with some friends of mine. Probably one of the most awesome experience of my life. Wonderful landscapes, so many contrasts, generous people and a global experience that has taken me out of my confort zone. :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some French, but a special one! With a quebecer accent ;)
Otherwise, I'm pretty good at drawing or photography, maybe I can show some technics.
