CURRENT MISSION

My mission is to visit Europe and experiment the urban culture of the major cities I will be in. I do not want the typical tourist trip: I seek to meet people, share experiences and opnions, but most of all have some good time!

ABOUT ME

What do you need to know about me? Well, I live in Montréal, I am 19 years old and my name is Etienne. I speak both french and english, but my mother language is french. I think the best way to describe me is a «urban relaxed student». Why is that? Because I enjoy living in my city more than anything else: the nice festivals during summer, the good restaurants and bars, relaxing at one of the many parks, working at a restaurant to earn money for trips to europe. I normaly study, and I was supposed to go to university, but I cancelled this plan to travel this year. If you wonder, I was going in mechanical engineering at Montréal's Polytechnique. During my free moments, I enjoy cooking, eating, reading and doing sports- Karate in particular. I am looking for different experiences during this trip, I want to meet new people, see new places and do stuff I wouldn't do back home.

Music, Movies, and Books

I actually enjoy anything, as long as it is quality. Especially music - if you can make me discover a genre or a group, that is great!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I gave a lecture about Quebec seperatism at the university of Cologne- and I don't even have a degree in politic sciences!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach french and I can cook. If you want, I am always interested in learning new languages! I am currently trying to learn spanish, and I would love to learn german or any language other than english or french.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Some nice discussions of all fields, maybe some good dinners too if they like cooking and eating! Also a lot of respect and interest.
