We are a young at heart, retired, married couple in our sixties.
Our house is located on the west side of Montreal with easy bus access to downtown which takes about 20 minutes.
We have two cats.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We love meeting different people. When we travel we much prefer to stay local. Find out where the locals eat and drink and dive right in. Never let language be a barrier, friendship is universal. Learning about other peoples and cultures is one of life's greatest pleasures. We have had so much fun with our surfers and love showing off this great city. Our eldest son has couchsurfed all over the world and has always had awesome experiences.
