Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
meet cool people and discover great places to visit in Montréal while maintaining my French skills
ABOUT ME
Traveler, dreamer, free-spirit.
I am not bilingual, I just suck at two languages now ;)
After having lived and traveled a bit in Europe, I am no longer content with staying in one location for an extended period of time; I feel the need to continue travelling and discovering new things. My next destinations are the many places in North America that I've never been before. I absolutely love exchanging stories about all sorts of international adventures with other travelers!
PHILOSOPHY
The combination of youth and good weather does not last long. Take advantage of every opportunity that presents itself. Most often, we regret the things that we didn't do.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I surf couches when I travel to experience the local lifestyle. I hosted surfers in Paris and hopefully I will be able to host again when I get back to Montreal. I go to CS events when I get the chance.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
It has been an adventure since the beginning.

Music, Movies, and Books
too many to list.
I still need to watch a lot of so-called classic movies. It would be cool to do a movie night some time! It's always more fun to watch them with people for the commentaries =D
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Arriving in Paris for the exchange semester: I knew it would be different from just touring because the goal was no longer to see as many things as possible in the shortest amount of time. Instead, I had the privilege to take my time exploring hidden corners and allies of the city of lights.
Learning to surf in Hossegor.
Attending shows during Paris fashion week prêt-à-porter.
Rooftop hopping completed in: Paris, Frankfurt, Seattle, Montreal, Toronto, Singapore, Bangkok
Found a job after university (much easier said than done!) & managed to work in 2 languages.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach what I know about the English and French languages. Also I can share my experiences living in Vancouver and Montreal and the discoveries I've made in Paris and traveling in Europe. Mandarin pronunciation (4 tones) but not grammar or vocabulary.
What I Can Share with Hosts
My continued curiosity, fun conversations, the occasional snack or post-card from Canada
