About Me

CURRENT MISSION

pass from theory to practice

ABOUT ME

I'm a guy of details, I enjoy small things in life! I think that's part of the reason why I enjoy so much going out in the nature! Everything in it is logic yet complex, beautiful but cruel... I'm also a contemplative guy, as you may see :)

But I can rock too; music is my main fuel and I like as much to dance as to trash as to jam or do karaoke! :) Also, I have great interest in art in general but my knowledge is mostly restricted to music!

I'm not shy yet I'm not the one who's gonna take the first role in the scene... I also prefer to get in personal touch with someone and have a great discussion instead of meeting tons of people at a party and not get to know them much...

PHILOSOPHY

Be comfortable with yourself; that's the key to everything else.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I want to help newcomers enjoy the eastern part of Quebec! I can be their ''field naturalist of the day'' and I can help them explore our culture.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been one time in Boston, Massachusetts and I was received by a cool Couchsurfer who studied at the Boston University. It was really cool. I particularly appreciated talking about our interests, our ways of life... in fact, what makes us at the same time different and similar.

Interests

music (listening to it, playing it, going to concerts...), nature (watching it, at its rythm; and also running through it, by doing big hikes), arts in general, most sports, foreign food, having a philosophical, psychological, or historico-political talk with a tea or coffee in hand! :), science,
