Couch Information


     << CouchSurf with Felix Barbeau!    

Couch Available: Yes
Preferred Gender: Any
Max Surfers Per Night: 2

Shared Sleeping Surface: Depends
Shared Room: Depends

Depends:
Either my rommates room, with either double air matress or crappy oold double matress.
Or the living room with the couches, not very private, right by the kitchen and bathroom.
I do not have much pillows and/or sheets, so if you have your own it's better, otherwise, we can probably manage something.

A nice La-Z boy, and another old minty green and pink 2 place, still sleepable, theres room on the floor for matresses. At the moment I have a big air double matress that can be used.
My place isnt very big, got a roomate here too, so I need to consult him also. The couches are in the main area wich is the living room - Kitchen area.

**** Roomate barely lives here anymore, so the room might be used too.****

I live not too far from anything, Frontenac metro station is 10 mins walk from here. Buses come close by to get pretty much to any central area of Montreal.

I do not mind smoking, buuuuuut: I would much rather there's no ''chain smoking'' going on, or even better smoke outside on the balcony.

I have internet, wireless networking, otherwise you can always use my computer.

****** WARNING ******
Landlord barks, but don't worry he dosen't bite.
Seriously, he's an old man and lives downstairs from me, sometimes he can be grumpy, and dosen't really understand if you tell him that you don't speak french... can be awkward, but don't worry if anything happens i'll take care of talking to him. It's not really a problem, it's just how he is, he can bark for a moment, then while I talk to him can just switch to a friendly casual talk about the weather and the news... No big deal there...

Personal Description

I am,... that I am not?
Well, come on and come find it out.
I'm a bit crazy, on the side, when I got time for it, and I've got time on my hand. I take life easy now, enjoy as much as I can, Love as much as I can (Yes, yes I am a romantic).
I am what some people consider being an artist, but I don't think so much of myself I got some talents, all there is to it...
I admit to have a strange mind, but I'm probably much simpler than you may imagine, and don't worry, I'm not scary strange either, it's more of the funny strange type y'know... But then again everyone is, I just like thinking I am... baaah!
I'm a OPEN-MINDED person(Ooof, we didn't hear that one before) hahaha...
Yes, I like making fun of things and people, and as you can also see, I like making fun of myself too.
Oooh... and I am a magician! Yes yes! A magician... and I don't do card tricks! no-no! I let you figure that one out by yourselves...

How I Participate in CS

Mmmm... I'm here!?! My doors are open, as well as my arms!

CouchSurfing Experience

What's couchsurfing?
No, really, up to date couchsurfing has been pretty good to me. It didn't work well at first when I was looking for hosts in europe but it did bring me to meet some great people, as well as my love at the Oktoberfest couchsurfing meeting 08. For the united states it was perfect, we had great hosts as well as some wonderfull meeting with other people from the community. So it's an overall greatly positive experience for me.
We just started hosting this summer, and the more it goes the more I love the project. We get to meet cool people from all around the world (yeah, usually travelers are cool people), have good experiences, learn and share. It makes a great community to connect people from all around the world, and to my opinion it's a much better way to get to enjoy the experience one place offers by going directly to the locals and avoiding the overly touristic path.

Interests

I like eating, sleeping, drinking... and SEX! Hell, who dosen't?!
I like good company, I like art, I love living in a fantasy of my own making, I like liking stuff, I like mythology, Sometimes I find interest in philosophy, until my brain blows up and can't deal with it anymore.
I have a perticuliar interest in the MIND, yes! yes! the mind, it's toughts, emotions and reactions, and all there is beind it, used to be in psychology, but they bored me, so I went with more original ways to go about that perticular interest.
Sooo...I'm into hypnosys, NLP, and alternative spiritualities. Yep, I do stuff, like energy working and stuff, y'know ''stuff''. Don't be scared, I can still hold a normal conversation, as a matter of fact I do not like discussing those subjects that much.
Then I'm also interested in PEOPLE,... sometimes...
And I have also a very special and specific interest that I really really love... and it's mah Girl.

Philosophy

Just going with the subtle flow of life, following the wind. Raising the anchors and drifting into the infinite sea.

Music, Movies, Books

DKMU : The Assault On Reality : A Field Manual for the Strange Psyche (I even have a part I wrote and some drawing by me in there... yes yes!)( You can get it here : http://www.lulu.com/content/3884296 )

But I do not read much... I'll read NLP material, a book every once in a while, nothing really worth mentioning.

Then movies: well the good ones, y'know... those who make an effort to have actors who can act, or filmakers who can film, scriptwriter who can write scripts... there's soo much crap out there, but there are also some JEWELS amidst it all!

I like old rock, metal, good ol' classic, jazz and blues is cool too, tho I can find liking in so many genres, I just dont like the ''Gangsta'' crap.

Types of People I enjoy

Crazy people
Funny people
Special people
Open people
Nice people
Most people, heh

Teach, Learn, Share

I will teach you to use the FORCE!
Actually I do know some tricks for the mind, as much in NLP, hypnosis and of course other ''stuff''. I can do energy work too. I can show you how to draw, some principles of art, I can also share art too...

One Amazing Thing I've Seen or Done

The most amazing thing I've seen is the eyes of my love.

Actually this is hard for me to answer, I've been around lately, and seen wonderfull things, but... I wouldn't know where to start... It's just in my nature to be amazed with most things. I try to be amazed at something every day I live, keeps things interesting y'know. And so far, I've been in so many situations, so many crazy things happent than I can't even know where to start. So if we meet, I'll probably pop out a few stories.

Opinion on the CouchSurfing.org Project

I love CS! hehehee...
It's a great project, opens the boundaries of world and culture, a great opportunity to see the world and share it's amazement.

What can I say...Felix and Krista were the greatest hosts I have experienced. Not only did they have welcome notes posted everywhere for us, but they greated us with amazing energy and yummy food. We went out and saw the circus fun in the park, ate at interesting vegie restuarants and they even welcomed us back when we didnt have anywhere to stay. If you stay with these two you will have an amazing time and experience two kind souls. Thankyou so much!

If hosting was a profession Felix and Krista have mastered the art to such a degree that even after this short amount of time they should be more than able to retire to anywhere their hearts desire.
BRILLIANT
AMAZING
GORGEOUS
people who, within the fist 10 minutes of meeting, far transcended mere hosts and become firm friends.
I love these two. and no matter how hard you may try to resist..
you will too.
thankyou so much for bringing such colour to our stay in Montreal

Felix was a sweetheart when he stayed with me. He is very considerate and patient, but doesn't miss out on any of the fun. He's quiet, but fully involved. High five to Canadians!

I hosted Felix for Mardi Gras and had a great experience. He very adaptive to what ever I could throw at him and was very comfortable with himself and anything going on. He had his own fun tricks up his sleeve, with real looking fangs and even his own blow up bed. Thanks for making our Mardi Gras a blast.

He's a sweetie with a big heart. He has a sort of mystic approach to life. Always puts others before himself, and wants the general good for everyone. Felix is very open-minded and has a great sense for adventure too. An overall great guy!
