Overview
About Me
I'm pretty easy to get along with and I don't like to stress. Work-wise, I am a professional truck driver, welder, fruit picker and I do odd jobs. I'm also interested in humanities in general and social work, I have done some college and university in these departments. When I travel, I like taking it easy and just having a good time, visiting museums, taking walks in nature, national parks, tasting different kinds of food, learning about the culture, history, mountain climbing, etc.

Music, Movies, and Books
My musical tastes range from nature sounds to classic and hard rock, traditionnal folk music, heavy metal, bluegrass, psytrance, polka, electro-swing, dubstep and some weird avant-garde stuff. I love to discover new music.
I mostly like horror and adventure movies.
One of my favorite books is ''Perfume'' by Patrick Süskind.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
One time I travelled 15 000 km across Canada and the United States on the back of my old 1988 Honda CME 450. This was my grandpa's bike and I rode it all the way to the pacific coast. I was with my friends Julian and Mary. We went through prairies, moutains, national parks. It was really neat. Then we worked for the whole summer in British Columbia, picking cherries. Afterwards we descended into the states, went to see a Rodeo festival in Washington, travelled along the coast of Oregon, descended road one into California down to San Francisco, went through the giant Redwood forests, crossed the Death Valley and went to Las Vegas to play in a casino. After that, we travelled along road 66 and went to the Grand Canyon, through Arizona and New Mexico and all the way up back to Montreal, passing through the american midwest. Now that was one hell of a ride!
Teach, Learn, Share
I would really love it if you can show me around a bit (even if it's just marking my map) and tell me about the cool places to visit, stuff to do, tips to save money, the best ways to get around, etc. I'm always up for going out and grabbing a beer or two. If not, all I really need is a place to sleep for free and for that I will already be very grateful!
In addition to my friendship, I can teach you french and canadian french expressions and words. If you are interested in welding and fitting, I can teach you some skills there if you have the proper tools.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I can share general travel tips and more if you ever plan of visiting Canada, the United States or Mexico. If you plan on coming to Québec and I am there, it will be my pleasure to host you and show you around.
