CURRENT MISSION Educate, assist and facilitate access to energy efficiency and sustainable living... and of course the wonders of Fencing! ABOUT ME It's not easy being a North American chameleon but here goes. Those who know me would say I'm an idealist but I keep searching for ways to improve myself and my surroundings. Still hoping to find that ideal place where the whole community plays a role in sustainable development. Meanwhile, I'll continue spreading the word the best way I can. Like-minded socially conscious people are welcome to contact me. So don't judge my response percentage. If your couch request or message appears too generic or spammy, I'll either ignore it or drag my feet somewhat. I know I can't do it alone... and you don't have to be a tree hugger to act consciously, n'est-ce pas? Thanks PHILOSOPHY My personal philosophy is that I live a better life when I know I am useful to my peers and my environment. In other words, it's about leaving a place a little better than when you arrived.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING Telling everybody I know and meet about the wonders of Couchsurfing. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE Been a couchsurfer for quite a while without knowing it. During my travels I made friends with people I met in the train, bus, plane... they would often invite me to their homes. By taking part of the local's way of life you're given a unique opportunity. It sure beats hotels and restaurants. I also stopped at the Collective in Montreal in 2006 to help out and met some truly wonderful folks. Thank you all for harnessing the power of a new global revolution!!!
Music, Movies, and Books
Movies? Big fan of Tarantino (I'm ashamed to say how many times I saw Pulp Fiction), Jay & Silent Bob, Coen and Wachowski brothers... Monty Python... Basically, anything that's off the beaten path, warped. Music? Oh gosh... with all the great new artists out there, the list goes on and on. Contact me for more info. Books? You gotta read The Tipping Point.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Few things are as amazing as human creativity. We have all the solutions to making this world a better place. We can do it.
Teach, Learn, Share
Why do so few people seem to care about the earth? If we all apply just a little more thought to the way we live and consume, the outcome will be incredibly powerful.
What I Can Share With Hosts
Love of arts, culture, good food and openness to try new things...
My Interests
That's a tough one. Love to try new things. Though I have a basic "routine" of staying fit, fencing, eating healthy, reading, repertoire cinema, music, socializing...
