ABOUT ME
Hey ! I am a man as my picture say, i graduated as an undergrad student in anthropology in Quebec city wich was my city of adoption for 3 years in 2011 Quebec city was awesome to me, I met so much incredible peoples, seems like I grew up so much in this town... It also allowed me to participate in a certain number of project like participing in the organisation of an ethnological movies festival, a couple of shows with a band, a couple of shows with a collective uniting puppets, theatre, music,poetry, clown. I also co-produced 2 etnological movies about the sikh community in Montreal, i am currently in a rehab process following a huge accident when i was attacked in the street in antigua guatemala that almost costed my life but now got to relearn to walk again and my left arm is not working crazy how life can change quickly hey??Being nailed in a wheelchair after I planted trees for 3 summers in a row and crossed mexico,belize and guatemala hitch-hiking,morocco in train,coast to coast canada hitching,wathever life goes on
PHILOSOPHY
Just be yourself and try to go as far as you can in the way you want to go no matter what the people around you think or say. Every experience is good to have no matter what it is.
But now life goes on, i'm getting back on the guitar slowly but surely, walking since spring 2015, attending school and i'm planning to get started into a master within fall 2017 and I also started brewing cider and will get started brewing beer soon enought and smoking fish with a smokehouse, my biggest long-term plan would be to be totally able to sustain my basic needs producing all or pretty much my own food and sell the left-over, along with alcool and energy, on a renewable way
Now I still live at my parents place and work part time as a marketing director for a company named bois de grange instantané and teach gardening part time as well during spring and fall We do what we want we don't do what we should !

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I hosted several groups of people at my place that I was sharing with 3 wonderful roomates in Quebec city, Le pavillon Pirate. A couple times we hosted 6, 7, 8 peoples at the sametime, that was a wonderful period of my life., I am sure that life will give me back the energy I putted into making the trip in Quebec city of those peoples the most awesomes of all.hopefully
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Hosted a whole bunch of peoples in my appartment in quebec city,but I was also hosted a bit in b.c and mexico,ho also conquering la citadelle de quebec with an austrian couch-surfer and my roomate,just before getting shit faced in a local bar downtown
