About Me

*******
I like to host - it's a great way to travel in my own house!! **********

CURRENT MISSION

Share with people around me! Being part of a team!! Always learn something new! surf as often as possible!

ABOUT ME

I'm a happy and funny person - who once in a while likes to be feisty :-) The name of the game is fun!!
I also like to make people feel welcome in my town and my house. Laughing and relaxing is very important to me!

I love to share and even more to discover! I enjoy so much when life puts on my road new people and new places!!

Don't worry - I can also be serious and sustain intelligent conversations :-)

PHILOSOPHY

Why wait when you can already make some dreams come true!! Make it happen! Talk to people! Try new stuff! Have fun! Be alive! Choose for yourself! But respect others!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosted a few people.
Coushsurfed at a few places (P-E-I, Canada, Vermont USA, California USA, Québec Canada, British Columbia Canada, Oregon USA).

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Hosting is a way to travel in my own home!! I enjoy so much hearing about you guys stories and experiences! I think I actually prefer to host!! We never know what we might end up doing when we host! Driving to the beach? Driving in the Laurentian park? Watching a comedian DVD from your country? Talking about your culture? your country? your hobbies? cooking a meal together? Who knows? Let's have fun and follow the wave!

And then being hosted is awesome! One of the best evening I've been to was a music show in Charlottetown on a tuesday evening while couch surfing. And then, I ended up taking a surf lesson with Todd in Santa Cruz after couch surfing at his place for a night.

I actually met lifetime friends via Couchsurfing. Special mention to Jake, David and Poppy. These guys opened their doors in moments where social interactions were very much needed!

Some CS experience where more neutral but I can't think of one negative.
