Hi! Living in Quebec City since a very long time, traveled a dozen times in Russia in the past 20 years, most often with Yulia, my russian wife from Moscow. I'm a freelance translator (English to French). Photography - artistic and documentary - is a second nature for me, can't live without it...

Easy going, friendly and honest. Love to discover new places, at the sea, in the woods or in urban areas.

I love to spend time alone to meditate and create, but need to meet people to talk and laugh. I find music very important for inspiration and emotion, especially live when abroad.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet interesting people who want to share their day to day life and favorite places!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Here are three milestones of my life: cycling 2000 km through Eastern Canada with my best friend Xavier (RIP), in 1995; the birth of my daughter Estelle when I was 20, in 1997; traveling on my own through Siberia from Moscow to Beijing, in 1999.
