About Me

I am an open, curious, and energetic man from Montreal, Canada! As a professional tour guide, I loooove traveling. I am also a voice-over artist. You can hear my voice in commercials, e-learning projects, corporate videos, etc. I love my jobs. They allow me to express myself in so many ways.

Communication is essential to me. This is one of the reasons I am on Couch Surfing. I love meeting new people and sharing our life experiences.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I started my Couch Surfing journey in 2009. At that time, I wanted to meet local people, learn about their life, and talk about anything, as long as I could immerse myself in the culture I was discovering. Thanks to CS, I've had numerous memorable experiences that I will cherish for the rest of my life.

The reasons I am still on CS are mostly the same today! More than ever, I want to meet locals wherever I go. Go for a drink, discover an amazing restaurant, and get lost in the streets of a certain city. I don't only want to learn about a culture, I want to live it!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It is quite hard to choose 1 thing. But I will always remember the beginning of 2017. My mom was turning 60, and she was officially a cancer survivor. To celebrate, I brought her to Argentina. We traveled together for 6 weeks. It was a unique and amazing experience.

A few years ago, my mom told me that if she were ever hit by Alzheimer or dementia, she would only want to remember that moment.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn about your country, you, how you live, where are THE spots in your town...just talk and share our own life experiences.

What I Can Share with Hosts

2 very distinct things:

1- Maple. Coming from a country that produces nearly 90% of the world's maple syrup, it is easy to bring a local gift to people I meet while traveling!

2- Laughter and great moments. There is nothing like a nice conversation, just sharing life experiences. It is simple and satisfying.
