About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Explore beautiful BC

ABOUT ME

I'm half french, half canadian but totally québéçoise in my heart :)
I think I am funny, bubbly and a lit bit of a dreamer. I like to meet new people and learn about other points of views.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

A big orange backpack, many European friends, delicious dinners, cultural discoveries, unforgettable memories!
I met great mexican friends through couchsurfing!

Interests

I like nature and outdoor activities as hiking, cross-country skiing and skating. I'm more a talk around a good beer type of person than going to nightclubs but I should practice the salsa steps I learned in Mexico ;) I am a regular yogi.

Music, Movies, and Books

The movie Amelie Poulain and any films from director Michel Gondry.
I'm a devoted fan of Arcade Fire, Radiohead, Bob Dylan, The Beatles... and the Spice Girls!
I like listening to indie music in my languages.
About books, I will say L' Écume des jours of Boris Vian, it's a beautiful surrealist story

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I did the West Coast of USA in a Westfalia.
