About Me

Im a 22 years old french canadian student in psychology. I come from Sherbrooke, a nice and quiet town, not too small, and just one hour car drive south from Montréal.

Either in a group or on one-on-one, I like to connect with people and make them comfortable to bring out the best of them. I'm the extroverted kind of guy, always playful with a sharp sense of humour. Sociable and friendly, I love to share a good laugh with people as much as I like to get to know them really.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Ever since I traveled in Tunisia last summer, it became clear to me that the best way to travel is to go where the people is at. To get the full experience, the immersion, the real exposure to new cultures, it all come to be close to the people. I love to get integrated into new group, get to know about everything and feel the pulse of the youth, my generation, and the elders from around the world.

Interests

Always up for new exciting experience, explore the mysterious et feel the adrenaline rush, I find myself enjoying as much long and thoughtful conversation. I love to exchange. Some of the best evenings are the one where one can talk and lose oneself in time and in the conversation; I can surprise myself talking for hours about politics, psychology, philosophy, theology and, mostly, music and films. We could exchange about the two latter for days.

I love trying new good food, good wine, and mostly new micro brewed beer.

And of course I'm Canadian, so I'm pretty passionate about hockey.
