About Me

I’m a head coffee roaster in Montreal for “Zab torréfacteur” (@zabcafe on instagram). I’m also a barista for Paquebot cafe (@paquebot_cafe on instagram), owned by Zab.

I draw a lot and do part time illustration here and there. I was a dancer for more than 10 years and still am by default. I tried to play drums for two years in a local punk band, never became good, but I tried !

So... yeah I like things that are different and off putting, I’m willing to explore, I may seem a bit exuberant with that description, but no worries, I’m actually really quiet and convenient !

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have never been a big traveler in the past years but I finally managed to travel a little bit in the past two years! I’ve heard a lot of people talking about couchsurfing as a good and fun way to experience traveling. I’d like to explore and discover a bit more the world, I’m pretty open minded already but there’s nothing like experiencing culture first hand.

Interests

Really interested in a lot of things actually, I was born curious, so anything a bit unknown to me will get me hooked !

  • arts
  • books
  • illustrations
  • coffee
  • comics
  • reading
  • music
  • history
  • dance
  • comedy

Music, Movies, and Books

Anything that has brought a new way of thinking or creating. A good cup of coffee and a well chosen record is my jam 🤘

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Still working on that one... but hey, who knows !

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to make great coffee for cheap ! Plus, when I visit a city, I’m always on a mission of finding the best cup in town.

I like good simple homemade food, I’m down with a little cooking. Fresh homemade pasta is my specialty 👌

I like to wander the streets of cities that are unknown to me. I always try to find little gems like librairies, venues, cafes, wine bars, good cheap eats, an so on.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Not sure to get the meaning of that one, I think you could refer to the section “teach, learn, share” for more info on that topic.

Peace ✌️
