About Me

ABOUT ME

Never be good to describe myself, here is my try, otherwise check my references!Easy-going person, I'm very sociable and usually it's easy for me to get along with someone. I love to hear different accents and to discover what's different between my country and your country. Yep, I'm very curious...What else? I like big gatherings, festivals, dinner who stand all night long, have a good conversation with good music in background. I really like to take it easy sometimes though. I'm not so bad in cooking (when I get some time, I cook) and I'm definitively a beer lover!Outdoor man, I like to spent the day outthere whatever if it's summer or winter...Cycling, running, hiking, skiing, MOVING!
I'm willing to sharing my adventures and hearing news ones. All of that in a trust spirit!

PHILOSOPHY

Carpe diem!

Quand l'appétit va tout va!

On traversera le pont quand on sera rendu

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I think that this website its the best thing that has never been on internet! It's so amazing to jump into locals life and not being a tourist anylonger.

It's been five years that I'm back from my first travel in West Europe where Couchsurfing revealed to me. So since this time, I'm hosting more than I can in spite of my busy schedule...Always ready to meet awesome people and welcome them in my French city! I'm active as well on Quebec city CS community (gathering, outdoor activities) Such a great gang!

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm a fan of Tim Burton's and Tarantino's movies, Back to the future trilogy and Rocky's movies. I pretty like complicated movies: when the story is tought to understand the first time you watch it. I could be in the mood for watching some stupids comedies though.About books, definitely Lord of the rings! I also like the genius of Bernard Werber and Albert Camus.Music, music! so important for me! I enjoy different styles but I prefer when it's rocks a little bit:Pink Floyd, Radiohead, Muse, The Cat Empire, The Killers, Louise Attaque, Patrick Watson, Placebo, Beck, Arcade Fire, Great Big Sea, Bob Dylan, Phoenix...and a couple of Quebecers bands (Jean Leloup, Mes Aieux, Fred Pellerin Les Cowboys Fringants...)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Could be my cyclothon (bike trip)! 350 km in three days in the south of the Province of Quebec to support a charity organization

Teach, Learn, Share
