About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To travel all around the world in order to help me better understand human nature ;-)

ABOUT ME

I'm a single man, father of two sons (in their 20's). I worked in a hospital for many years before starting my own business as a consultant 15years ago. I travelled a lot and still do.

Practice some sports, for the fun of it, not professionally. I love walking/hiking, I find nature relaxing. That being said, I also love the city for it offers (shows, museum, restaurants, etc.).

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let live. Don't juge, try walking in their shoes instead.

We grow by learning from each other.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I first couchsurf in Autralia. Oh what a wonderful experience it was. Meeting people like that, chatting over a meal, glass of wine, discussing our views on different subjects,

I host a couple time after that. Living 1/2 hour from Montreal city, it's not often that I have the occasion to host visitors although it happened and would love it to happend more often.

I read on a profile something that I share. I'm not on couchsurfing to save a few buck. it is the human experience that I'm looking for. it is true when I host...it is also true when I surf.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I surfed on australian couches few times, Also in Spain. Hosted few times also.

Interests

Pretty opened mind so almost everything is of interest to me if presented with an opened mind too.

I do like to listen to music, hiking, talking with people. Not an expert in/on anything but I do appreciate good food, good wine, good conversation, contemporary dance, shows of different type....and much more.
