CURRENT MISSION

To see my home used as a meeting place for Couchsurfers to share and learn from one another.

ABOUT ME

I work hard, but play harder! We only live once so I DO like to try anything. Love to travel which means spending time with 'locals'. I like to meet genuine people that don't take themselves too seriously. I like to take risks and share new experiences. I'm very active and, I guess, a very goofy intellectual!

PHILOSOPHY

Life is a Sudoku: even in the most difficult and challenging times, lies a solution. Be kind. Leave something behind for others. Be aware of beauty. Act with class and character. Refuse to compromise. Be original and embrace beauty! Don't wear a mask and don't play roles. Life's too short and too beautiful to pretend you are someone you are not.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

By hosting, when I'm in town! I finally tried the 'other side' and was hosted in Israel and Turkey a few summers ago. I host less lately 'cause I was travelling through Europe and South America. AMAZING!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted many times even having up to 7 persons at the same time! I NEVER had a negative experience! LOVE CS!

Interests

I love adventure and especially visiting places I have never been before. I love sports, speed, risks and mostly, interesting conversations!

• beauty
• gardening
• politics
• traveling
• sudoku
• skiing
• sports
• religion
• beaches

Music, Movies, and Books

Just too many to list! Life would suck big time without music! I can go from Pink Floyd and Led Zep, to underground, indie or classical. From Eminem to techno (but never country!)
I'll never ever ever stop reading. History, bios, even comic books in other languages and, to make sure I remain truly well informed (and provoked) Chomsky.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hard to say since I've been in over 30 countries. Sunrise on the beach in Tarifa! Being on the rooftop of an hostel in Athens, and catching the sun setting west while the full moon was rising over the Acropolis! A memory that will defy time! Breathtaking! Having the rare priviledge of being alone in the pyramid of Cheops! Sunset in desert in Israel! Petra! Cappadocia! My road trip from Ottawa to California two summers was beyond AMAZING! Skiing on a volcano at sunset in Chile last summer! Just too many too prioritize one!

Teach, Learn, Share

I sincerely love to listen to and learn from others' experiences. We can exchange views on any subject even tabboo one (politics, sex and religion) as long as everyone keeps an open mind and nobody NEEDS to convince or be 'right'. The point is to exchange and enrich eachother. I can talk with someone for ever!

What I Can Share with Hosts

My house, my warmth, my garden, my authenticity and sense of humor! I can also help you out with French, English or Spanish!
