I'm simple person, living a semi-nomadic life without much material possessions. I spend winter and spring with the Crees of Northern Quebec, I migrate to the mountains of western Canada for the summer alpine season and I share fall between family and travelling abroad.
I am most happy when outdoors and adore the beauty of nature. I always carry a book with me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To share, exchange, learn and grow.

Interests

Hard to name them all...
I am most passionate about philanthropy, pedagogy, outdoor adventures, nature, cultural traditions and I love all forms of art and crafts.
If you have a passion, I will definitely be interested in hearing about it.

Music, Movies, and Books

I could spend the rest of my days listening to Bob Dylan, Neil Young and Tom Petty, whatever that means.

Not much of a cinephile, although I appreciate witty and cerebral movies.

I mostly read non-fiction about adventure and exploration, but I love classics that transcend their era. I adore the writings of greats such as Dickens, Poe, London, Hemmingway.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Amazing depends on who's reading...
I've been phone-less for 4 years.
I've hitchhiked ~30 000 km.
I started a nonprofit.

Teach, Learn, Share

by Ellen H. Gates

Do not then stand idly waiting
For some greater work to do;
Fortune is a lazy goddess,
She will never come to you.
Go and toil in any vineyard,
Do not fear to do or dare,
If you want a field of labor,
You can find it anywhere.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Love of life.
