About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Understanding what I can, sharing about environment and smiling to the world

ABOUT ME

I'm doing a doctorate degree in what I considered to be new study field : ecological sanitation. I'm studying and living in Montreal, but I don't know where I will live the rest of my life... There's so much place to visit, too many cultures to discover... Do you have any suggestions?

PHILOSOPHY

Be pro-active. I mean we have to develop ourselves and the world we are living in. I think that we should all contribute in our own way. There's so much to do.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm that kind of person who loves to share. For me, it's the basis of life: we share to evolve. And I think that the real sharing is not the cought itself but the interesting discussions that take placed between the people. So I support completely the idea of Couch Surfing and now I'm proud to host people after my long stay in Europe (and my flat set up!!)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couchsurfed many times in many countries in Europe in summer 2008. My experiences were just great. You meet people who shares their time and couch with you just because they loved it. The concept of couchsurfing is awesome!!

Interests

First, like everybody here, I love to travel. Because I think I began to old (it's suppose to develop youth), I promise myself that my child will begin at 2 years old!!

Other strong interest : Environment (with a big E). For me, to understand this world issue and to diffuse information about it is one my life goal. In addition, I think I can contribute as little as I can to reduce the inegalities between South and North countries... My first action in this sense was in Africa last autumn : I was part of a student team that set up a project to build a small healt clinic. Such a good experience... I have too much to say.

I love doing sports : jogging, ice hockey, cycling and ultimate frisbee (the perfect sport for building team spirit and good relations between teams!!)

Music, Movies, and Books

My best books are:
1. L’art d’aimer (The art of love),
2. Le petit cours d’autodéfense intellectuelle (Small course for self intellectual defence),
3. Acheter, c’est voter (Buying is voting)
4. Heat : how to stop the planet from burning.

I love rock and rock-alternative music. My best movies are documentaries or the ones like the German movie "The lives of others".

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Amazing? No. Most proud? My project in Africa.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share a lot about everything relate to environment, my country, politic, psychology and ecological sanitation... I also love to promote my favorite sport : Ultimate Frisbee... so great!
