CURRENT MISSION

Take the life as it comes and arrage it when it doesn't go as I want , with a smile!
Prendre la vie comme elle vient et réorienter mes projets s'il le faut, avec le sourire

ABOUT ME /Qui suis-je?
Je suis sympa, accueillante et respectueuse. Énergique, j'ai toujours un projet en tête mais je tente aussi de savourer le moment présent. Le résultat: une vie excitante, mais ponctuée de moments calme et méditatifs, en contemplant le fleuve St-Laurent, juste en face de ma maison (bateaux, oiseaux, couchers de soleil...). Je suis conteuse surtout pour les adultes mais à l'occasion pour les enfants. J'ai été orthophoniste en milieu scolaire. J'aime le camping, le kayak et la randonnée et... évidemment le voyage.
I am a very friendly and respectful person.
Mon amoureux est critique de théâtre et fait aussi beaucoup de bénévolat.
Nous parlons français, anglais et Michel, parle aussi espagnol./

Energetic, I have always a new project for the future, but I also savour the present moment. The result is an exciting life...but I can also be very calm and meditative , looking at the St Lawrence River, in front of my house (big boats, many birds, sunsets...). It depends on the moment or of my needs. I am a storyteller for adults and sometimes for children. I was before a speech therapies working with children. I love kayaking, camping and gardening and of course... travelling!
My husband, Michel, is a theatre critic. He travels a lot as an active member of the International association of theatre critics. Also, he is very active in voluntary work. He travels sometimes with me.
We speak French and English, my husband also speaks Spanish.

PHILOSOPHY

Vivre et laisser vivre. Mordre à belles dents dans la vie...trop courte pour s'emmerder ou emmerder les autres!
Ne pas se sentir coupable mais apprendre de ses erreurs et les réparer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to meet and receive people and learn about them.
J'adore recevoir les gens.

P.S :J'aime marcher et depuis 6 ans, j'organise et je participe à la Grande Virée des Semeurs de contes: 8 conteurs et conteuses qui marchons le long du fleuve St-laurent de Montréal jusqu'en Gaspésie.: une merveilleuse expérience!/
I love walking and I am in a project since 6 years : La Grande Virée des Semeurs de contes": 8 storytellers walking along the St-Lawrence River, during 10 or 15 days, walking along the river, and tell ours stories in each village or town who host us: marvellous experience!
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Toujours de belles expériences et ça fait déjà 8 fois que j'ai le plaisir de résider chez quelqu'un en voyage. /

I made two house swappings before with another organisation and both were great experiences (Belgium and France). It's the 8th time I couchsurf and it is always a great experience.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Looking at a Nepalese woman in the Himalayas in her humble house where I was invited, giving a massage to her young child of two years old, in front of the fire ! Trekking alone.

Teach, Learn, Share

Kayaking in summer, skiing (crosscountry) in winter and storytelling all year round...

What I Can Share with Hosts

Mon hospitalité, ma passion pour le théâtre, le conte et le kayak. Si j'ai le temps, il me fera plaisir de faire visiter les environs. Habituellement, je reçois mon invité avec un bon repas et pour la suite, j'aime bien que l'on partage. Nous avons serviettes et draps de lits pour vous!

My hospitality, my passion with theatre, storytelling and kayaking.
If I have time, I can show to my hosts the area where I live. Sometimes, I invited some friends and we share our experience with a good meal.

Usually I receive my host with a good meal, the first day when he or she arrives, and I like for the other the meal to share with them what everybody have. We have towels, bed sheets for him or her.
