Hi! :)
Young student (21yo) in literature in Paris, on a gap year and so happy to travel through Canada and across the US.
I am easy-going and would love to share a night where we can meet, talk and discover each other through our stories and passions.

I like to treat others with generosity, respect and abundance. ☀️

I am also interested in self-sufficient ways of living, sustainable life, gardening organics. I am one of Pachamama's son, as we all are :)

I also love hiking. I've worked in the French Alps and would be glad to share some funny stuff that happened back then.

I am traveling with my camping gear (mat and sleeping bag) so I don't really need a bed or a couch. Somewhere to put my sleeping bag is enough!

I would love to share a peaceful and chill night as much as a more outdoor and partying one.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people who are open-minded and generous enough to welcome travelers.
It is not an easy thing to save a lot of money while hitting the road, and I am thankful that people are helping fellows wonderers, as a community, through couchsurfing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In front of a supermarket, at 6pm during a night that is going to be -12°C, I am asking to some people for some help to find a place to stay.
I ended up welcomed by two hippies, with a great heart and soul, in their magic house. We went to see the sunset on Lake Ontario, screamed like wolves in the red fading light, full of life.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am very passionate about bodywork. Everything that deals with wellness, embodiement, healing, sound bathing, Zen Thai Shiatsu massage, fascia release, Somatic mouvement are fascinating to me. Coming back to ourselves with how we really want to move and be, and show up in the world, as unique individuals. Unicity and authenticity are such precious treasures.
I dance contact improvisation and ecstatic dance. I teach karate in French as well.

I think bringing ourselves back to our own body and presence, self-awareness is key for self-care and abundance.

Great passion also for poetry.
Chinese and vietnamese cooking are super cool, we can cook together(!)
I think that we get the chance to eat with people often, but that cooking with someone is more rare, and so very precious as a shared time.
We can also practice a meditation (I do metta meditation mostly and am very open to learn different types) and some yoga together.
Acting and role games are cool, theater improvisation is funny.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories,
Delicious pancakes in the morning :)
I can also make some bread if you have a sourdough starter or yeast.
