About Me

I love traveling and meeting new people. I am a quiet and easy going guy. I went back to school to become a psychologist. I practice mindfulness meditation and I wish to integrate it in my clinical work. I like swimming, outdoors, hiking, reading, traveling, graphic design and visual arts.

J'aime beaucoup voyager et rencontrer de nouvelles personnes. J'étudie présentement pour devenir psychologue. Je m'intéresse à la méditation de pleine conscience (mindfulness) et souhaite intégrer cette approche dans mon travail. J'aime la natation, la randonnée en nature, la lecture, les arts visuels...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy meeting people from all around the world and learning about cultures different than my own. I hosted several guests from different countries when I was living in Japan and it has been a very rewarding and meaningful experience.

J'aime rencontrer des gens de partout à travers le monde et apprendre sur des cultures différentes de la mienne.

Interests

Earlier in my life, I studied graphic design, painting, and drawing. I worked in the animation film industry for several years.

I participated in an international exchange program in Japan where I lived for 4 years. It was truly an amazing experience.

I have been practicing Buddhist meditation for about 12 years now. I like to learn about Buddhist philosophy and psychology.
