About Me

CURRENT MISSION

See the world and experience as much as possible before I settle down, start working, raise a family, so that in 50 years from now, when I'll be an old man, I won't say things like: ahh, I should've went there, done that, and so on.

ABOUT ME

What can I say... I was born and raised in Quebec and led up to now quite a sedentarian life: Studying, working, hanging out with my friends. The usual stuff. I started travelling only recently and since then, I'm totally addicted! Better late than never I guess!

What else...I'm a very open-minded person, extroverted in the long run, with a broad sense of humour.

Damn, I always have a hard time describing myself...I'll just let you judge by yourself!

PHILOSOPHY

Bad experiences often turn out to be the most fulfilling ones. You always learn something from them.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sleeping on the great wall, definitely!
Oh! and, going to a anti-nazi demonstration in Germany. I must have been the only foreigner out there. It was very interesting and I'm glad I took part to such an important and meaningful event.
