Hi everyone,

My name is Rémi, I am 31 years old and I'm from Québec, Canada.

I could describe myself as an easy-living guy, curious, respectful and a funny person who likes to laugh and talk with others.

I like to listen to music, watch movies and tv series. I also like to go hiking, camping and I enjoy being outside. I surf once in San Diego and it was a very nice experience but harder than I expected.

What I prefer about camping is to be in the wild with no cars, no pollution and just be surrounded by forest and lakes. I really enjoy being around the fireplace while discussing, having fun and eat marshmallow.

I also like to cook different meals. I like all kind of food: Italian, Mexican, Chinese, middle east and Vietnamese food. I am also open to discover new meals that I never tasted before and I think travelling is a good way to do that.

I am somebody who really enjoy life and what's come with it. We only have one life to live so we have to enjoy every moment of it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to meet new people and discuss with them about every kind of subjects.

I want to meet people who come from other countries and learn from them. I want to see different way of living and thinking.

In general, I am a very curious person who loved to learn new things.

Having discussions with people is also helping me to improve my english speaking and understanding. My first langage is french and I don't always have a lot of occasions to speak english in Québec.

When I travelled I like to meet people who know the city or the country we are in. They can tell us about the story of their country, their habits, their culture and what they like about it. We can even discuss also about both of our countries and learn from each other.

I think both people can learn from an experience like Couchsurfing. It is a really nice way to travel and to meet new people from everywhere in the world.

A good way to make new friends.

Maybe we will meet each other somewhere in a part of the world.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like all kind of music :

Rock, pop, indy, folk, punk and movie soundtrack.

I don't have a kind of music that I prefer. If I like the beat or the voice I will listen to the song. But I alway tries to discover new artists and not just the commercial artists we ear on the public radio. I'm also opened to international music (french, english, spanish and more).

Some bands that I like :

Vance joy, Franklin electric, Phillip Phillips, Mumford & Sons, Bastille, Billy Talent, The 1975, MGMT, The lumineers, Folly and the hunter, 30 seconds to mars, City and color, Arcade fire, Bloc party and the list could go for a long time.

I'm also a fan of cinema and tv series. I like drama, comedy, action, science fiction and historic movies. I also enjoy a good evening at the movie theater once in a while.

Kind of movies I like : Race, The good lie, The adjustment bureau, Inception, Interstellar, The lincoln lawyer, Lord of the rings trilogy, Forest Gump, The green line, The dark knight trilogy (I like Christopher Nolan movies).

I'm not somebody who read a lot but when I found a book that I like I am unstoppable. I really loved the Harry Potter series and I like police drama book like Castle and other books in the same kind. I would like to read more and it is something I want to bring in my life for this year.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Last year, my girl friend and I decided to go on a trip of a life-time. From November to end of April, we quit Canada to travel in Europe, Asia and in the west of Canada (British Colombia and Alberta). To be abble to do that we sold a lot of our stock, put what we own in a locker and my girl friend sold his car. We took this time to live new experiences, discover ourselves and have a better idea where we want to go in life.

It's also a period where we met very nice people from different countries. We were abble to discuss with them and learn a lot from them. It was very nice to learn different cultures, habits and way to live in others countries. It's the trip of a lifetime that we really enjoy until the end. It's not something that we will be abble to do each year so we really appreciate every seconds of it :) Since we came back, we think about our next trip. It's sure that we gonna continu to travelled to discover new cities, new countries and met new people from around the world.
