About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I can't describe myself in only a few lines because I'm an open person that likes to discover all that people can offer so my opinions and attitude change with time. One thing is sure, I'm very social and I like sharing with others, whether it be life experiences, anecdotes, music, films, etc.

I love music even though I don't have the talent to play. My schedule is built often around festivals and shows that I want to see. I pass lots of time reading, mostly fiction & Manga but also bio, history or philosophical books.

I also bike a lot. In fact my bicycle is my most precious possession. When things aren't going well I'll take a bike ride and everything is better. After having hosted many Couchsurfers, I hope to be able to travel by bike and often have a roof over my head thanks to this marvelous website.

The first reason I register to this website is because I like showing my city to people from other countries and cultures. They are all welcome in my home and it's my pleasure to show you all that Quebec has to offer!

PHILOSOPHY

The only revolution possible is to try to improve ourselves every day and hope that others do the same. The world will be a better place.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like to show my city to as many people as possible & at the same time get to know people who like travelling and sharing their culture.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

After I hosted lots of people in my city and finding the experience a positive one in all ways, I used couchsurfing to travel in Canada by bicycle. I also save lot of money when I was traveling around Australia but the best things was all the good advice I receive and to see how people can be so helpful and generous. That's the primary reason that motivates me to host travelers in the past and now I still want to help when I can and in the future I wish I can host by using helpx and bnb as well cause I want my own hostel! ;)

Interests

Biking, board game, reading, hiking, music, crypto-currency and now I work in a Cannabis store so I read a lot about this stuff to. I'm interested a bit in lots of things.

Music, Movies, and Books
