About Me

Hi, I'm a 20 years old university student (studying psychology). I'm from (and still live in) Sherbrooke, Québec in Canada. I'm passionate about motorcycles, growing beard, psychology, human interactions, nature exploration and studies. I also enjoy hanging out and having good discussions around a good crafted beer or coffee. I think I could describe myself as open minded person, very friendly (kids don't bother me, I have 3 younger brother and a little sister), someone who likes challenges and to think outside the box. My family is Christian so I got educated this way since my birth but as I said, I'm very open if you aren't and I won't judge (myself being more atheist than total christian because of my university studies).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm looking for a nice experience, meet new people, make new friends, learn new things, discover new countries, immerse with locals and their cultures. I've experienced the last two summers traveling around the Province of Québec alone on my motorcycle and I really liked this. But this time I wanna travel further and longer to get out of my comfort zone.

Music, Movies, and Books

Interstellar, Inception, The Wolf of Wall Street are my top 3 favorite movies
I watched (and I'm re-watching for some) Ozark, Breaking Bad, Dexter, Narcos, Better Call Saul, Black Mirror, Sons of Anarchy, Stranger Things series! :)
I like listening to The Weekend and Drake (ehe probably because I'm Canadian) as rappers/RnB and to old rock songs but I don't really have a favorite type of music so I listen to country, electro/house, metal, classic, punk... name it!.. My mother is a music teacher so it's in my roots aha I know how to play guitar, piano, drums and sing! I like to jam sometimes :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

With 5 of my friends in high school (we still see each other often even if we're separated because of universities) we really liked to do camping in the wild. So one day (I think it was in 2012), we decided to go camping somewhere very uncommon for us. We took a map of the cities near us and blind pointed the place we would camp. It was a 850 meters mountain name Mont-Orford. So we took everything we need, jumped on our bicycles and went to this mountain. I remember we had to climb the mountain with our bikes by our side because it was impossible to find mountain bike tracks up to the top ahaha... So we arrived and camped on the top of the mountain. The thing is that the forgot that raccoons could be able to steal our food when we were looking for wood and trees to make a campfire... We had to take our bicycles and go order a pizza for supper in a small town 35 minutes away, it was funny :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Even if my main goal for using couchsurfing is to pay less and share with locals... I would like to share a bit of my time to help you, share moments and knowledges, teach you about my country and my culture! I don't wanna be a simple ''bed squatter'' at strangers houses... I wanna know you, be your friend :)
