CURRENT MISSION

Franco-canadien en congés sabbatiques, je voyage en France en van et vélo pour une année.

ABOUT ME

Français d’origine, je vis depuis 10ans à Montréal au Canada où je suis enseignant en école primaire anglophone.

I like art, to talk about that. Arrr! I always want to know, to understand all, but, unfortunatly, some things cannot be explained !

I like to be surprise and to surprise. I like chalenges against myself, and to push back my limits.

I'm sensitive, playfull. Life is a great scene where I like to play different roles, musician, traveller, reader, employee, student, teacher... It's my way to observe the society and the world, and to wonder to myself what influence I have or I want to have.

I can be quiet for a long time, change my state of mind very quickly. Well, I'm unique ! ;)

PHILOSOPHY

I TRY to :
* "Be myself, no matter what they say."
* not juge the others in « seven seconds »
* be attentive and equanimous.
* "Le véritable voyage de découverte ne consiste pas à chercher de nouveaux paysages, mais à avoir de nouveaux yeux." (Marcel Proust)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
One day in 2006, my dear brother, who lives Belgium, talked to me about Couchsurfing. Since this day, I use it a lot. It's great !

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Going back home after a big travel, specially alone, is not easy. How to explain to your family, to share with your friends all the things you saw, you lived, alone ?
I realized that yes, of course, I shared all this time with the others, these people I met, with me as well. This time was true, forever.
And now ? Life goes on, richer day after day.

Interests

Personal development, the others, vipassana meditation, photography, music, video, cooking, life !

And yes, I want to make a movie. I don't know how, what, when... It's a dream since I'm a baby. So, yes, it's time... I know...
It could be a movie as the cheap Michel Gondry's way, or an experimental movie incomprehensible even by me, or a love story between two animals, or, actuallly, a documentary with people, real people, immigrants, artists, old people, touching story of those who fight to live their story, their legend, those who create something new, something from their deep thoughts... wow, that's a good one... Let's go !
