About Me

ABOUT ME

Scroll down for english:

Salut!
Je suis un étudiant venant de terminer ma technique en bioécologie et viens tout juste de décrocher un métier dans mon domaine à Sherbrooke dans un chouette 3 et 1/2 avec de l'espace pour le couchsurfing! Pour me résumer en quelques mots: Plein air, rire, bouffe, musique.
Je passe la majeure partie de mon temps à jouer dehors. Étant donné que je viens tout juste d'emménager à Sherbrooke, je ne connais pas encore énormément la ville. Nous serons alors de parfaits touristes.
Je travail la semaine mais j'accpete quand même les invités mais vous devrez arriver après 17h et quitter vers 7:15 am. Sinon la fin de semaine je suis libre.

ENGLISH:
I am a student that just finished my technique in bioecology and just found a job in Sherbrooke. I live in a 3 room flat and got plenty of space for couchsurfers! To describe myself in a few words: Play outside, laugh, food, music.
I spend most of my time outside. Since I just moved to Sherbrooke, I still don't know the city that well so let's be tourists together!

I work during the week but I still accept guests as long as you arrive after 5 pm and leave around 7:15 am. On the weekends I'm free.

Voila!

PHILOSOPHY

Be authentic

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

English:
Our family always helped travellers way before we knew about couchsurfing, french girls couchsurfed in our cabin for a week with us we had a great time with them. I always give a lift to hitchikers (I usually do extra kilometers past my initial destination to drop them in a nice spot)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We picked up a hitchiker at the Yellowstone nat'l park late at night and we got along so nicely that he offered us to sleep in his lodge (he was working at the yellowstone hotel). We met his roomate and spent a great evening with them. So that was our first unoffiscial couchsurfing experience.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

J'ai eu la chance de faire la randonnée mythique ''les 5terres'' en Italie

I did the legendary ''5Terres'' walk in Italy if you don't know what it is google it because it's awesome :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a geek for animals (especially reptiles), aquatic plants, invertebrates and such. I have a nice planted tank and couple of reptiles at home (don't worry they are secure in their enclosures and they are not big). I can teach you basics of fishkeeping and aquascaping.
