Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I love meeting new people, particularly travellers, and making friends around the globe! So many cultures and things to discover! I wanna share stories with locals everywhere I go, and with surfers that I host too. I couchsurfed a couple times in different countries, and now I want to give back what I experienced. I know how much of a difference it makes to visit with locals VS visit by yourself. That's what I'm all about when I travel/host!
Music, Movies, and Books
I literally love all kinds of music. Here's what I'm listening to these days : - Buena Vista Social Club - Queen - Whiplash's soundtrack - Kaytranada - Aerosmith - Arcade Fire - Vampire Weekend - Tijuana Cartel - Bastille - Libertines
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Most funny story is when I was in Edinburgh with 2 friends. We parked our car in a parking lot outside for the night. Next morning, a window was smashed and some of our stuff gone. The police came and took our statement. We drove the car to a garage and finally started visiting the city. We walked a few blocks and believe or not, we saw 2 HOMELESS MEN WITH OUR STUFF! And it was during Edinburgh's biggest festival in August, so it was very difficult to find police officers. We watched the 2 men for an hour or so before I found 2 officers who helped us get our stuff back. The 2 men apologized and we told them to go further and not to hangout in the streets next time if they wanted to steal properly hehe. In 2013, I climbed Mount Blanc in France. It was by far, one of the most difficult/intense thing I ever done in my life. In January 2017, I also went to Mexico to climb Pico de Orizaba back in january 2017. My last trip was in Indonesia, in june 2017. I met a girl from Montreal but she was seeing a guy. I'm currently working for her to dump him. I'll keep you posted about that, fellow surfers.
What I Can Share With Hosts
I usually just go with the flow and ask my surfers what they want to do and if they want to join me/us, like go out for a couple drinks, try Montreal's poutine, climb mount Royal or go at one of Montreal's thounsands festivals! So many things to do here, you can't get bored!! You are totally free to join me/us or follow your plan!
