Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Enjoying Europe. Afterwards, making people enjoy Montréal and Québec.
ABOUT ME
Learner, explorer, nature freak and foodie.
4 words to describe most of my personality.
Learner : Je ne sais qu'une chose, que je ne sais rien. So, I always enjoy learning from people about their culture, their language, nation, arts, etc. I like to ask questions and get answers. I'm a practical guy, but down-to-earth. I just want to make the most and retain the most out of every experience.
Explorer : Throughout my childhood, I've lived in many different cities and environments (always in the USA or Canada though) having to cope with different languages and cultures. Nowadays, I like to explore and get to know the details of places (architecture, historical and fun facts).
Nature freak : I grew up in a small town in the nature. Now, I live in Montreal, but I always enjoy my nature moments, when I'm able to disconnect from everything else around me.
Foodie : Sadly, I have bad tasting problems! However, I enjoy everything around food and drinks : the talks, the fun, the bold energy it gives, the confessions, etc.
PHILOSOPHY
Qui n'est pas capable d'être pauvre, n'est pas capable d'être libre.
Cette tête du peuple, cultivez-la, défrichez-la, arrosez-lafécondez-la, éclairez-la, moralisez-la, utilisez-la; et vous n'aurez pas besoin de la couper. - V. Hugo.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I'm new to CS, but I've heard great experiences! I enjoy meeting new people and enjoying their culture for short periods of times! In return, I'll be glad to offer my couch once back in Montreal.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
None for the moment.
Interests
Nations, literature and maths/economics.
Cities, politics and much much more. Just an open-minded, easy to talk guy.
Everything that touches by near or far science (physics, chemistry, biology, maths again, name them).
I'm preoccupied by environmental issues and solutions.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I'm still young so I guess that with time I'll be able to fill in this case. At the moment, I haven't had any mind-blowing experiences (on the world wide scene).
Teach, Learn, Share
I have fun teaching French and French Québécois to others.
Although Québécois food isn't that fancy, I can make some pretty simple and yummy dishes.
I can teach how to swim, play hockey, how to enjoy snow and how to eat maple syrup (or make if your willing to)!
