ABOUT ME

I am a student and researcher from Montreal, Canada. Though my main language is French, I can also speak fluently in English (I hope so!) and a little bit in German. My favorite things are music (I have been singing in choirs since I was 8), boardgames, traveling (of course) and enjoying a good cup of coffee or tea in the morning. I also like sports, especially hiking and the outdoors. Right now I'm studying at McGill University in my home town.

NB: though I have no problem speaking English in person, I sometimes find it difficult on the phone,thank you for your understanding :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

For the moment, I travel!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Thanks to couchsurfing I had an amazing time in Berlin, London, Oslo, Boston... the list goes on and on.

Interests

First of all, I like music. I’ve been singing in choirs all my life, going on tours in Canada and Europe many times and recording many cds. Aside from classical music, I also appreciate jazz, good old acoustic blues, rock, metal and rap music. I developed in the last few years a passion for board games, I now have a small collection at home. I like to visit museums when I travel. I also always enjoy a good cocktail or a nice beer.
