CURRENT MISSION

Knowing more about myself by discovering the world

ABOUT ME

I'm currently living my life long dream to travel around the world. To do this, I had to realize another dream... quit my government job. Difficult to break away from those golden handcuffs! I want to live the second half of my life by following my heart and my dreams. I am a bon vivant with a good sense of humor, epicurean that loves gastronomy from all over the world, fine wines (especially French).

The most important things to me are the love I have for my girlfriend and my 19 year old daughter, my family, my great friends back home, all that I haven't seen now for 8 months. I'm a yoga and meditation adept. I enjoy going on retreats to take the time to be with myself, away from all the distractions of our world. I believe in the way of middle.

I enjoy trekking, skiing, mountain and road biking. Another of my passion is cooking, most of the time inspired with what's in the fridge, the freezer and my huge vegetable garden back home. While, I'm traveling, its really important to me to meet locals to get a good feel and good experiences of the country, hence my interest in CS.

PHILOSOPHY

Follow my heart, be true, kind and compassionate with myself and with others.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbed the Mauna Loa in Hawaii, Hiked the famous Milford Track in New Zealand, left my job and traveling around the world, lead a mouvement to save our lake back home (and succeeded!), writing a blog about my trip.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to learn from everyone. There's always a teaching when you are attentive to others.
