About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Opening that pickle jar.

ABOUT ME

I have a good sense of humor but I'm not that funny.

I can reach stuff that is high.

I like going out and dance 'till you drop or staying home playing board games*, but nothing in between.

I write in bullets.

PHILOSOPHY

Save Money, Live Better. (I learned that cycling through the US)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've hosted once and couchsurfed plenty. I intend to either host more people soon or have a real bad karma.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've got references now, you look at them!

Some girls from Isle of Man were nice enough to offer me their couch when I was in Ireland, but I missed the ferry to the island.

In the US I've couchsurfed a lots of times, all host we're great. Some of the best times on our trip we're with couchsurfers.

Alyce was the coolestest.

Music, Movies, and Books

These days I'm into Alain de Botton.

But I read mostly non-fiction.

I got sucked into Game of Thrones.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Did a 5 day pilgrimmage (walking only) throught the suburds of montreal.

Worked on a organic farm and bird conservation area with an amazing scenery on Rathlin Island, Northern Ireland.

I cycled my way from Montreal to Florida to Texas and then went to North Carolina and built a carbon free house.

I saved a little girl's life once.

Teach, Learn, Share

I (almost) master the continuous breathing technique... (useful in digeridoo playing)

I can also tell you how to fish lobsters and crabs

I can tell some unique french canadian words.

I also know how to knit...

Some tricks in bike touring.
