Traveling is my passion and I have been around more then 45 countries so far.
I am a Engineering student in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
I love discovering a new culture throughly by interacting with locals, other tourists, exploring every museums and walking every alley - time is always my greatest enemy!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I have been traveling for quite a while and I had to the time to reflect a bit on traveling.
Once you get back to your ''normal life,'' once the adrenaline and the excitement and the dreamy state of the previous trip fades away then you can truely know what souvenirs were the best.
For me, its turns out the people I meet end up beeing my greatest joy of traveling. That beeing said, one of the best way to meet people is through couchsurfing and it's a community I never had the chance to fully explore.
I hope to meet some of you soon!

Everything by Robin Hobb
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Climbed to a Glacier at 5,500 meters
Explored the Catacombs of Paris (Not the touristic ones)
Got lost in the mountains and rescued by helicopter (Rockies)
Hiked all the way to the 3rd highest waterfall in the world
Survived the Amazonian Jungle
Hiked the highest active volcano in the world and mountain biked it down
Explored the mines of the deadliest mountain on earth
Met so many amazing people!
Teach, Learn, Share
I am currently learning Russian. I try toa practice everyday - my brain always needs to stay stimulated.
I speak French, English, Spanish and Russian (it's getting better everyday - I am conversational)
What I Can Share with Hosts
Great discussions on numerous subjects; I am open minded, have traveled a lot and can respect opinions of others while being able to contribute positively to most conversations. I am a good listener and I respect exchanges we got; If you need any help it will be my pleasure to help (exemple: change lightbulb since I am more then 2 meters!)
