Hi!

I am an easygoing person who loves to meet new interesting and friendly people!

I'm studying political science in University of Quebec in Montreal on weektime, I'm selling old and cheap books on weekends as a job.

I like to read. I also like to accumulate piles and piles of books faster than I can read them.

I haven't traveled a lot yet, compared to many people. But I'm trying to fix that. I bought my first one way ticket past summer, and I liked that.

I like to laugh, probably like most of the people. But I don't like to laugh about everything. I think some subjects are not funny at all and should be considered really seriously.

I have hundreds of projects in my head but I do not often find the time or the motivation to start them up. I don't know when I'll have the time to do them, but the important is to have projects, right?

I like good company, coffee, music, waking up early even when I don't need to get up for a specific reason, harmonica (I'm not really good at playing harmonica but if you are good I'll have a really good time listening to you), I like jazz, and I can play some songs (mostly french songs) on the guitar.

Salut !

Je suis une personne tranquille qui aime rencontrer de nouvelles personnes!

Je suis présentement étudiant à l'Université du Québec à Montréal, au baccalauréat en science politique, et ce depuis 2014. La fin de semaine, je vends des bouquins usagés à prix modique quelque part sur le Plateau Mont-Royal.

J'aime lire. Mais j'aime aussi accumuler des livres à grande vitesse, drôlement plus rapidement que la vitesse à laquelle je les lis.

Je n'ai pas beaucoup voyagé jusqu'à maintenant, en comparaison avec plusieurs personnes. Mais j'ai acheté mon premier one way à destination de San Francisco l'été dernier, et j'ai adoré. Depuis ce temps, j'ai quelques plans de voyages.

J'aime rire, je ris souvent et je fais beaucoup de blagues quand je suis à l'aise. Or, je ris pas de tout. Il y a des sujets que je trouve trop sérieux pour en rire.

J'aime la bonne compagnie, le café, la musique, me lever tôt - même quand rien ne m'y oblige - l'harmonica (j'ai des bases sur l'instrument, mais je ne suis pas très bon - si toi oui, je t'écouterai avec grand plaisir et beaucoup d'admiration), le jazz, et je connais quelques chansons (chansons françaises surtout) à la guitare!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new friendly people all around the world; to get out of my comfort zone!

Also, I had some experiences as a host and when I traveled which gave me the will to know more about the concept and the possibilites of 'couchsurfing'. For example, I hosted some friends of my friends when they came back from their trip in Western Canada. I was also hosted by a Guatemalan family for three weeks in 2013, which was an amazing experience.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I don't know if it's amazing for a lot of people, but my girlfriend and I crossed Death Valley (CA) (and the U.S to go back to Montreal) this summer - it was beautiful. I also climbed Mount Washington I think two years ago, which was really cool too!
