CURRENT MISSION

Wander, adventure, learn, love. See where the wind blows me and roll with it.

ABOUT ME

Born and raised in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. I love my country, however I'm passionate about exploring the world. I seek to gain the greatest understanding of myself, other people, and the world we live in, by experiencing different places and meeting new people. I've had the chance to explore Canada, several Latin American countries, and lived in the Caribbean and Asia. And I see that as just the beginning!

PHILOSOPHY

In a word: Balance. Give and take, love and be loved, learn and teach, the individual and the collective. I am also a strong believer in living in the moment. Make the most of each day. Laugh and dance whenever possible.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted a couple of times at my home in Montreal, as well as couch surfed (or met up with couch surfers) in Colombia, Trinidad, and Singapore. All of my experiences were very positive. I loved meeting new people from all over the world and swapping travel stories, life philosophies, recipes, etc. I hope to receive more surfers in my home as well as incorporate more couchsurfing into my next trip.
