Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Learn mongolian.
ABOUT ME
I love to learn more about new cultures and languages and to me the best way is to travel and talk to everyone.
I'm a student of anthropology at the University of Montreal (Canada) i'm specializing in ethno-history and in the impact of environnemental change on nomadic populations.
I like to push my own limit and give myself new projects. Now i'm planning to perfect my spoken mongolian and eventually finish my Master.
PHILOSOPHY
Each person have a good story to tell, it's fun to listen.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
at the moment i don't have any couch, i stay at one of my friends home before my travel. But i will be totally happy to help any traveller who will come to Montreal. contact me and i will bring you to a lots of crazy parties, the bests bars, i could tell you about all the history of that incredible city and be your tour guide. There's a lot of place to go and things to see. I could also give you some advice for travelling in the Québec province.

Music, Movies, and Books
I love portuguese reggae and batucada, tuvan rock, mongolian rap, afrobeat music and Pakistani Qawalli.
The last book that i have read is ''hundred years of loneliness'' from Gabriel Garcia Marquez.
I love the old samurai movies from Akira Kurosawa, otherwise i love the ''B'' rated movies and the very old horror movies.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
A two day trek in the beautiful Chapada Diamantina in Brasil.
Wash an elephant, while drunk, in a river in Sri Lanka.
Hichhike up to the end of the world in northern Quebec, and then live there three months in a tent.
Try to learn the mysterious art of the ''echo''.
That's the first thing who come to my mind at the moment.
Teach, Learn, Share
I could learn you to speak french, to draw portrait (i use to make cartoons), to write in sinhalese or in cree, i could learn you a few stories or even a few jokes, i could learn you how to make a bannick, i could also help you to wash your dishes and clean up your appartment.
On the other side i will be open to learn a lot. I'm very curious.
