About Me

I'm an excentric french canadian who wanna live stranges situations, something different!
But i'm also a peacefull human who look for kindness and sweetness. It's a chance to live only of those. So a simple day is a perfect day.

I know wich part of myself I can improve and I work hard on those.
One of the most important thing for me is to understand the people I meet.
It's the best way to create a respectfull relation.

I think everybody should try to improve the world we live in as they could.
The first step is into us. Change yourself, change the world.

I start my trip in London with a friend of mine. She is called Dora, 19 years old.
I'll not deny that she touched my heart with her kindness. I'm sure you will enjoy to meet her!

At the begining, I planned to hitchike with her trough England but... Finally she doesn't feel so much confident about it. We only have one tent and she got a boyfriend, I guess it make it more difficult for her.
So we gonna see how we will travel. I think she'll prefer the train! Or maybe blabla car!
I think it's also more safe for us to use couchsurfing or some hostel. I heard the law in England are pretty severes...

I personally prefer to challenge myself trough a really simple way of life.
When you feel cold, when you feel hungry, when you feel thristy, when you feel alone... You really feel alive.
And it help to be conscious about the luck we have!
It's not everybody who got that chance to be rich.
(I'm talking about abundance, not 3 billions dollards)

But at the end... I just want to respect Dora. It's her first time travelling without her parents so I'm gonna follow her needs. Especially since we gonna be together for only 1 week, then we will seperate. She stay for much longer than me. (3 week for me, 1 month and a half for her.)

I've never used people kindness. It's the opposite.
Sometime I refuse the help that people offer to me.
Simply to assume the way I travel.
I prefer to say we'll share what we have.
This is how I definite a meeting between people.
And not in term of material.
Anyways we'll have our food and our good mood!

So we'll enjoy to discover who you are.
See ya :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on CS 'cause I think travelling as an isolated entity is not that interesting.
I talk to everybody that seem interesting as I send request to people who might be compatible with me.
Also, the best way to discover a place is to meet locals!

Then, of course I need to wash my cloth, myself and to sleep in a comfort zone.
I have no expectation from the ones who host me. Please do the same. :)

Sometime I simply enjoy to be relaxing while cooking in a kitchen, reading or simply taking a nap under the sun of a beautifull day.

Music, Movies, and Books

I really love to read! I'm actually into ''Narcisse and Golmund''. A novel about two particular friend that have two different path; Narcisse represent our spiritual side of the humanity, the other represent the animal side of our humanity. The writter is ''Herman Hess''
I also reallly appreciate ''Bernard Werber''. One of my favorite.
''Ken Follet'' too. I'm also able to read some fantasy books sometimes.

I love almost every music. It simply depend of the occasion.
Country music while skying? Nop.
Metal music while waking up in the morning? Usually nop. (But sometime, why not!)
So I listen to all kind of music.
From ''Bonobo'' to ''Cake''.
Or ''Faun'' to ''Chet faker''
''Neil young'' to ''Alt-J''.
''Yoav'' to ''Tool''
''Rammstein'' to ''Xavier Rudd''
I have no limits. It's just a question of feelings.

I love documentary feature, fantsasy movies and some drama when the reality is well realisated. Animated movie too!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ho there is so many haha. Some of them can only be heard in flesh and bone. Too private hehe.

But one of my strongest experience been that course in a Vipassana center.
10 days of meditation, 10h30m of meditation per day.
You are not allowed to talk, to read, to write, to play music, to play, to laugh.
You eat, make a poo, make a pee, wash yourself, sleep and meditate.
I'm not a spiritual freak, but I'm aware that we can make our mind sharper and sharper.
It help to understand that our desire and fear is the source of every pain.
Attachment too tho.
Life will end whatever if you want it or not.

Facing myself and my strongests demons been an extraordinary trip.
I suggest that to everybody.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My rice, my oatmeal and the food I find in the dumbster. Also, I can show you how to get back all this food that the groceries throw away only 'cause it is no more PERFECT. I think this is a good way to counter theise corporation who don't care about our planet or the hunger over all the world.

Then, music! I would love to hear yours too!

Perception, dreams, stories, philosophy.

I'm not really a dancing guy (I'm shy sometime, hihi), but if I'm in the mood, why not! Let's find a place with good music to my taste and let's have fun!

Finally, I would be really happy to do some sports, playing music, cooking and discover you trip around the world!
