About Me

CURRENT MISSION

"Before my 24th birthday, I want to : make a parachute jump, finish my thesis, eat seven hot dogs at once, make love with Jon Lajoie, finish The Brothers Karamazov, namely locate all the countries of Africa on a map."

I'm now 28. I have made a parachute jump, finished my thesis, ate seven hot dogs at once, Jon Lajoie signed my left boob (but I have not slept with him), I have never finished The Brothers Karamazov, I can now locate the third of the countries of Africa.

Before my 30 years, I'd like to go back to school and start a doctorate, improve my technics at hockey, visit Iran, locate an other third of the africans countries.

ABOUT ME

I'm a dynamic person who likes to share and learn. I think couch surfing is the best way to travel, the only way to really know a place and the people who lives there. I also want to have couch surfers at my place because those people make me travel in my own city, and take them to Montreal's best spots make me remember that I'm proud of the Quebec and of Montreal, happy to live in a place that I really love.

PHILOSOPHY

"Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.â

Interests

I'm interested in art, culture and history : it's why I like to travel. I like to play hockey and soccer, and to go trekking.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I saw a moose give birth when I was eight.

Teach, Learn, Share

I met a lot of people in a trip to Asia. One of them came at my place the next Christmas and we had so much fun with my friends and my family. I've been to my Israeli friend the summer after (we also met in Asia). I really enjoy to keep in touch with those people all around the world.
