Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Today Europe, tomorrow Asia.. I wanna see the whole world!
ABOUT ME
Let's get the basics out of the way, I'm a caucasian male, from Canada, who wanted to avoid following the typical "graduate from university, settle down, buy a house, and retire 40 years later THEN start enjoying life".
I want to do it the other way around: enjoy life, THEN well we'll see when I get there. That's why I left my life behind and went on a Working Holiday to the UK, as a platform where I could travel around Europe. I even had the chance to visit Tokyo and Kyoto, that was AMAZING.
Now I need to finish my trip around Europe before coming back to good ol' Canada, and then start the whole adventure again over in Asia.
If I can, I'll be a traveller all my life, but never a tourist!
PHILOSOPHY
Sometimes I'm like a child, I don't care I just want to know, discover, find out and explore. I hope I never lose that part of me.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Now this is a very vague question.. I'm a couch surfer! Yeah!
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
My first couchsurfing experience led to a long-lasting friendship between me and a guy in Montreal. We started chatting on IRC in a chatroom about a common interest, and eventually I decided I wanted to visit Montreal - but this time, without my parents or grandparents. He kindly offered me his couch, an uncomfortable leather thing but hey it did the job!
I in turn offered him my couch when he came to my city, and we're always welcome to visit each other!
Interests
I'm a jack of all trades.. I like psychology, reading, music, composing music, watching TV, watching movies, reading, role-playing games (RIP Gary Gygax), computer games, going out, staying in, rain and sunshine, snow and hot damp humid jungle weather (though I hate mosquitos), heck I even like computers once in a while!

Music, Movies, and Books
Undeniable the best movie ever: Conan the Barbarian. I hope the remake will live up to it.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I wish I would've had the time to go and see it closeer, but I did, from a train, see Mount Fuji. It's so damned beautiful, no wonder the Japanese revere it and include it everywhere in their stationary, calendars, advertisements, etc. Apparently I was really lucky to have such a good view of it from that train. For sure, on the way back it was impossible to see it.
Teach, Learn, Share
I know lots about computers, I know a thing or two about women, and I've dabbled in many different scientific domains. I love sharing my knowledge to a listening ear, and I hope I can be a kind listening ear to anybody willing to teach me anything (*cough cough* cooking? LOL)
