About Me

CURRENT MISSION

There is no place like home, and that is a good reason to go out.

ABOUT ME

Marx famously said that it is not sufficient to understand the world; you have to change it to. I think teaching and education is the better way to do so.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm always trying to be a better person for myself and for my dear ones. Do what I really love and love my friends and family. I believe in God but I think there's not much to understand about him from our human point of view, I don't belong to any organized religion.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

In winter 2013 I'll have time to show you around Saguenay and help you discover our beautiful winters.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Spent a week in the Gaspé area in may 2008 with a friend of mine who is a member here, and I totally loved it. Repeated in New-Brunswick/Nova Scotia/Newfoundland in summer 2008 with another one of my friends. I also hosted foreing exchange students in Sherbrooke (and made a lot of friends that way)

Interests

Music, mostly rock and indie. Litterature. Baseball. Moral philosophy. Social psychology. Chinese thought, especially I Ching.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I can't think of anything right now. There's that time when a guy on the beach offered me to wrap a 15 ft. long snake around my shoulders but I freaked out at the last moment...I'm a chicken.

Teach, Learn, Share

If you can explain me The International Date Line or Baseball's Balk Rule, I'd be eternally grateful.
