Overview
About Me
Since I was a teenager, my dream has always been to travel around the world. When I was 16, I went to Thailand and even celebrated my 17th birthday there. I've also seen the entire East Coast of the United-States. You name it: New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Washington, Baltimore, Virginia Beach, Orlando... I'm fascinated by other languages and wish to learn at least another one.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Why not ? In fact, I prefer to be a surfer rather than staying in a cold hotel room. This way, I can really see how different is a culture compared to mine. Since I talk a lot, I'll probably tell you what it feels like to live in Canada and how you should taste our poutine. I'm naturally curious so I'll also ask you plenty of questions about your country and habits. I'd like to hang out with my host and share many memories and experiences. The role of a host is not to help you save money but to become a friend for the rest of your life.
I WANT TO MAKE NEW FRIENDS !!!

Music, Movies, and Books
My favorite singer is David Bowie! I also like The Beatles, The Beach Boys, The Doors, Twisted Sister, Frank Sinatra and Chopin.
Stoker, Dracula (the one with Gary Oldman!), The Great Escape, Singin' in the Rain, anything related to Star Wars, The Silence of the Lambs, Good Will Hunting and many others are all movies that I watch over and over again.
I think I'll name just a few books I like since I have three full bookcases: The Survivors of the Jonathan from Verne, The Count of Monte Cristo from Dumas, The Picture of Dorian Gray from Wilde so yeah I'm really into the 19th century :D I also like Camus, Sartre, French Canadian authors...
