ABOUT ME

I grew up in the suburbs of Montreal, my parents got divorced and my father became pretty wealthy. I was absolutely unaware of the world going on outside of this privileged little enclave of society and had disgust for anything not belonging to it.

With the influence of my mother I realized how lucky I was. I traveled a bit, and came back as a completely different person. I rejected the world I had lived in, sold a lot of possessions and moved on to other things in life.

I consider it the best decision I ever took.

I educate myself as much as I can to the realities of this difficult world. I strive to go beyond the information that is presented to us and always look for the truth.

I study law and journalism to better understand and communicate the realities of this world.

PHILOSOPHY

Learn the truth. Go beyond what you are told and accept to make the effort to know more and better.

Try not to judge. Hate what people do wrong but not the people that do it.

Don't respond to other people's judgments.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I think the best way to know what a city is all about is to meet it's people. So when I travel I use the site and as soon as my apartment is no longer having some work done, I'll be glad to host people trying to do the same thing!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couchsurfed in France when I traveled there a couple of years ago and it was amazing. People were incredibly nice and welcoming. Definitely the best way to travel, I think.

Interests

Politics, nature (ecology), science, computers, the news.
Major geek here and an activist "en herbe".

I adore any emerging music and movies that make you think. I read a lot, mostly non-fiction.

The outdoors, parachuting, flying... and cats.

Do I need to mention traveling, and learning about other cultures?
