ABOUT ME

I am a french speaker Video-journalist, i work for the national television and been recently send to Windsor Ontario. This job made me travel and live in a lot of different places during the last few years (Africa, North America and Europe).

Windsor is a small (200 000 people) city with a interesting night life, the american who cross the border every week end call Windsor "Sin-city".
I live at the USA-Canada border (o.5 km from Detroit), it's one of the biggest advantage of living in Windsor, and i project to spend a couple of week end in USA during the time that i live here (Chicago, Detroit and other city around)

I am new in the area (may 2010) so i still have the desire of travelling and discover the great lakes region. It will be a pleasure to do it with other couch-surfer.

PHILOSOPHY
