About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To cover every square-inch of my dream destinations.

ABOUT ME

I was born in Ottawa, lived in France and the U.S... 4 years each. I've had the privilege of visiting most of Western Europe, Morocco, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Mexico, Saint Martin Island, and more.

I've been playing poker professionally for two and a half years now, using the earnings and the freedom to travel. It's been a great ride so far and I definitely plan on continuing my traveling journey, museums on my right, poker table on my left.

I absolutely love meeting new people. I find it very enriching to get to know people from all walks of life. I'm a deep thinker, so much in fact that sometimes I get lost in my own little world. Otherwise I'm pretty laid back, friendly, down to earth, and I love to party when the time is right.

PHILOSOPHY

Slow and steady wins the race.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

For some reason I seem to attract a lot of couch surfers from France. Here are a few amazing experiences:
- Once in October of 2007 I hosted two exchange students from Toronto, one French girl and one guy from Singapore, who were on their way to Montreal afterwards. A friend and I spontaneously decided to accompany them for the road trip. Needless to say it was one crazy weekend of partying with two really cool travellers.
- In May of 2008 I hosted two different groups in the same weekend. We partied at my place with some locals too and ended up being 8 people sleeping here Saturday night. It was a crazy fun time.
- And in yet again May of 2008 I hosted two girls and one guy from Drummondville/Montreal... we ended up on the roof of my building at 2:30 AM with my superintendant and my neighbour playing accordeon, drinking and dancing. Whew!
