I'm someone very curious about life and people. I like philosophy, politics and literature, classical and contemporary art, old and new movies, jazz and classical music and so on.

I currently work full time and I'm part time post graduate student in ancient philosophy. I live in Quebec city but I was before in Montreal for about 10 years. I also lived in Paris and Berlin for a while, studying, learning Tango and German.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I didn't have the chance yet to try couchsurfing as a guest but I'm sure the opportunity will come soon. Meanwhile, Quebec city is quite a small place, and I feel the need of meeting new people and new ideas.

Interests

Life, people, literature, nature, music, and ideas.

That means that I like discussion and books, chamber music orchestra, but also trekking and crosscountry skiing.

I would say I'm rather a contemplative type of person.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know some great place in Quebec City and I can give some advise if you look for nice things to do out of the mainstream : exhibition opening, underground jazz session, nice cafe and buvette, and so on.
