CURRENT MISSION

Hello Bonjour مرحبا - Currently back home in Ottawa, Canada

ABOUT ME

I am 35 years old, from Ottawa, Ontario. However. The focus of my studies is the Middle East, in particular Arab culture. I thought it would be an excellent experience to learn about the people there and look for opportunities after my studies - as well as practice Arabic! I speak French and English fluently. I used to work in Information Technology before deciding to go back to school, so I know a lot about computers, although I wish I could forget sometimes!

I have been told I am a pretty funny guy. I am really outgoing, I love to talk and to meet new people.

PHILOSOPHY

I have gone through some interesting trials and tribulations. I am sure we all have in some way. I realized the best way to live a fulfilling life is to learn as much as I can about other people; the way they live, their culture, their difference, and their similarities. This is what I will endeavour to do during my travels.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am living in Ottawa, Canada. I have a couch to lend out if needed. Interested in meeting travellers from around the world. I've had the luck of having many amazing people give me a hand while travelling, and look forward to reciprocating.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None what so ever, though I have had many friends visit/live on my couch in the past, so I get the gist:)
