CURRENT MISSION

Responsibly leaving responsibility to those more responsible ;)

ABOUT ME

Right now I'm living and loving life in Montreal, Canada. I work as a cook in a diner in the Old Port neighbourhood and spend my spare time riding my bike around the Plateau/Mile End, soaking in the awesome vibe that this city projects. Also eating and drinking too much.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is too short so love the one you've got.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I share what I've got and do what I can to help people out while surfing this crazy world of ours.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

CouchSurfing has provided me with some of the best experiences of my life and I have now made so many close friends from all around the world. It's such a relief to know that, in this day and age, there are still people kind enough to put you up without asking for anything in return. Just solely for the pleasure of helping somebody out.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I moved to Melbourne, it changed my life. There is a bond between me and that city that I can't even begin to put into words.

I lived in Montpellier, France for a year and completed an international diploma in the French language.

I traveled from coast to coast across Canada in a van with 2 great friends.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to play guitar exactly the way that your tutor warned you not to, how to successfully fall off a skateboard (staying out of hospital is an entirely different matter) and how to speak English and French in such an awesome manner that a literary type will pop a vein.
