After being hosted by so many great people in the US, Puerto Rico and Mexico, I finally have the chance to give back to the Couchsurfing community by hosting people in my beautiful city of Montreal. I am eager to meet new people from all around the world to exchange ideas, stories and good times.

I work for the mayor of one of Quebec's biggest city and I love my job and my colleagues.

I studied Political Science and Public Affairs Montreal and then went to study International Law and International Politics in Sherbrooke. I travelled a couple of times, mostly in the US and Latin America.

In 2014, I did my first backpacking trip cross Central America for 6 months where I end up working in a hostel for almost two months. It taught me a lot. In 2018-2019 I did another big trip to the US and Central America and end up teaching English in a small community in Sierra Laconda in the North of Guatemala, it was a great experience to actually live with the people there. My most recent trips were a month backpacking Peru where I did a lot of hiking and going back to Cuba again because I love this country so much.

To show you have read my profile, please include the word "Poutine" in your message ;)

I speak French as my first language, English as my second and Spanish as my third.
Le français est ma langue maternelle. Je parle aussi anglais et espagnol.
Hablo frances como primera idioma, ingles como segunda idioma y español como tercera. Puedo conversar en español con facilidad aunque sigo cometiendo muchos errores. Quiero mejorame y creo que viajar es uno de lo mejor manera (y la mas agradable). Si hablas español como primera idioma, seria un placer de solo hablar español untos.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

In Québec French the words “world” and “people” are the same, it's “monde”. So I would say to discover the monde.

Interests

I like to learn about other countries cultures, social norms and political issues. I am very openmind and I think I can get along with about anyone as long as they are also respectful (which I find most people are, most of the time). I love biking as way to discover a city as I also enjoy walking around looking for nice viewpoints.

I love meaningful conversations about life, morals, politics, etc. which I find are easier to have with people in the Couchsurfing community than anywhere else. I also like to try new food and can eat about anything (except mushrooms, sadly).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When volunteering at a hostel in Guatemala city I was bringing tourist see matches of authentic Lucha Libre in a garage I had found while walking around. I took upon myself to show the other travelers this weekly awesome event.

Teach, Learn, Share

I will be happy to show you my city and its differents areas.
I will be please to teach you a few words in French or to help you practice if you want so. I would also be glad to practice my Spanish if it is your first language.
