About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to define it ;-)

ABOUT ME

I have stopped working at the beginning 2008, to focus on things which are really important to me: human values, Environment, animal rights etc.
And also to realize an old dream: traveling, especially in Canada, in which I spent a year as a backpacker. I've practiced - and enjoyed - Couchsurfing not because of the money I saved (although of course it does count), but because of the wonderful people I met : their language, their culture, all those places they liked, which are not mentioned in the touristic guides...
Now I've been back in France for a few years, enjoying an alternative life and looking forward to be able to travel again ;-)
My level in English is good enough to understand and be understood by indulgent, patient people...

PHILOSOPHY

"If you think you are too small to make a difference, try sleeping in a room with a mosquito." - african proverb.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I mainly couchsurfed from October 2008 to September 2009 and had a lot of wonderful experiences: in New York, Albany, Québec, Montreal, Chicoutimi, Rimouski, Toronto, Ottawa, Percé, Gaspé, Chandler, Campbellton, Dieppe, Moncton, Grande Digue, PEI... I'd have so much to tell about you all, thank you so much guys!

Interests

Environment, Social issues, Animal rights, Human values...
Having a drink, two drinks, chatting, doing simple things with true people.

  • animals
  • culture
  • documentaries
  • environment
  • drinking
  • traveling
  • backpacking
  • sailing
  • rock climbing

Music, Movies, and Books

Difficult to answer this in a few lines! Let's try anyway:

- Movies: art or horror movies rather than action and romance.
- Music: rock, hard rock, metal, committed song rather than techno, raggae or dance songs.
- Books: classic, historic, technic litterature rather than detective novels or science fiction.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well... I was lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time sometimes...
For example, on the very first day I was sailing (as a deck-hand), we saw "The Green Flash". The day after dolphins played with a rib I was driving - we could touch them...
Once I went to a documentary and was surprised to recognize myself in it!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd be happy to teach everything I know: and that could be done quickly!
I know a little about environmental issues, climbing and marine knots (as I used to be a rope access technician) I feel easy with computers and I'd be happy to help you with French language, for example...

Countries I’ve Visited

Canada, United States
