Places I once called home:

⚜️ Quebec City, Québec
🇦🇺 Melbourne, Australia
🇻🇳 Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
🇲🇽 San Cristóbal de las Casas, Mexico

=========================

Who do I host and get along well with?

🧠 Creative minds
🌈 Neurospicy quweirdos
🐌 People without fomo
🦋 People on a quest to embody their ideals
⛲ People who participate in the world rather than consume it
🤸🏻‍♂️ People who can feel their bodies moving inside and out
🔗 People who are sincerely curious

=========================

Here are some tips for writing a good request:

📸 Have clear recent face pictures (2 at least)
📝 Get references (by going to cs events or cs hangouts)
🕵️‍♂️ Fill out your profile (with thoughtful text)
💥 I should get a sense that we will connect somehow (so be personal when writing)

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

🏠 WHY I HOST
Happiness is only real when shared.

✈️ WHY I TRAVEL
I travel to study vernacular design embedded within cultures.

兴趣

🎸 I am infinitely curious about musical traditions. So far I've learned musical traditions from the Appalachian region, Veracruz, Turkey, Bali, Brazil, Georgia and Hanoi.

🗣️ I'm a language nerd. I'm the kind of guy who reads grammar rules before going to bed. I'll want to learn your language!

🎥 I studied cinema, we can watch and analyse films :)

🧗I usually have my climbing shoes in my bag. Indoor bouldering is my favorite sport. It's challenging, brainy, non competitive, fun, and a good workout!

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

🥣🫂 🧑‍🌾🏘️ 💞 After visiting the "Soup!" project in Detroit City, Michigan, USA, I was inspired to import the project to my hometown in Montreal. I grew vegetables and turned them into soups. I then invited my neighbors for monthly dinners where they would have to vote for a local project lead by an individual in our community. The money raised during the event was granted to the project that the community deemed most important at the moment. This event ran for many years and was called "Soupe Locale". Provincial and municipal governments supported the project and today it exists in different parts of the Quebec province and contributed to hundreds of microfunded projects, stronger neighborhoods and a rise in civic participation.

🏡🏡🏡 I co-founded a non-profit that develops the very first out-of-market and perpetually affordable cohousing projects in Montreal (www.villageurbain.org)
