ABOUT ME

I'm a very pro-active guy and I talk a lot. Thought and action are not opposites. People also say I'm reliable and energetic, though I've had a hard time testing myself on these matters...

In my «normal life», I live in the downtown area of Montreal, close to pretty much everything. I study at the Université de Montréal (MA in philosophy), I work part-time in a restaurant, and I play music. I love the city and everything it offers me.
I really enjoy going out, meeting interesting people, eating good food, watching good movies, going to music shows, reading in parks, etc. The real problem is one of time.

PHILOSOPHY

I don't believe in the afterlife, so I try to enjoy my life as much as possible, which also means that I try to make life good for everyone around me.
Further discussion about philosophy is difficult over the internet :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I hosted several times, all were meaningful experiences with great people.

From April to August 2010, I spent 98 days in Europe, where I had the chance of meeting great hosts through CS.

Whether you host or get hosted, it definitely is a great way to meet people.

Interests

Music, movies, books, going out, politics, philosophy, art, photography, travelling, languages, good wines, good beers, good food, etc.

It's always about pleasing the mind and the senses. And renewing myself when necessary.
