About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To learn as much as possible before becoming food for worms. I also started a honey tasting from around the world.

ABOUT ME

I have 2 boys (18 and 14) and live close to a beautiful federal Park. Great for biking and cross country ski. Calm in nature, I enjoy good food and great company.

PHILOSOPHY

I hope I have as much passion to learn for the rest of my life as I do now.

Barcelona, My hosts were amazing. We took the time to learn about each other, not only a couch, but a person. That is the true spirit of this website. Tx AlCe ;-)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In the summer 2006 I left my country for a 'real' trip. Europe was amazing, the culture, the people, the smells, the architecture, etc. I had a blast, Thank you Europe....p.s. Stop smoking!! In Paris, on the day of music, at 23h00, a mild mist falling, people dancing in the street to ballroom music...that is Paris!
In 2010 I stayed in a Villa in a small village in Tuscany, what a beautiful site. Falling in love again with my futur wife in Florence!
Meditation, leaning on my wife's back, listening to the ocean waves hit the beach in Montego Bay. Oh yeah and visiting the local market in Montego Bay.
