About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Keep dreaming

ABOUT ME

I've been living in Montreal for more than 10 years now, working in public relations. I just moved back after a year in Ottawa, I'm so happy to live in such a great city. I try to make my life exciting my meeting new people and traveling as much as I can. So the plan is to travel, keep learning new things, meet all kinds of people and enjoy life :)

PHILOSOPHY

I think the world is getting pretty messed up, yet very interesting. I used to be really depressed by society but I changed my philosophy. I think it's too easy to be negative, jugemental, critical, depressed or condescending. So I always try to see the positive side of everything and checking both sides of the medal before giving an opinion.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My door is open to visitors. I had many many great experiences in Europe, and I hope meeting nice people when I'm in town. Please come and visit, I enjoy late night chats and good wine...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I did a lot of couchsurfing in Europe and had a great experience. I came back this summer and revisited some of my couchsurfing friends. I met so many interesting people who were welcoming and very open. Couchsurfing is a meaningful experience that can't be compared to staying in a hotel. I have hosted a few interesting people as well, and I meet up with the Montreal community as often as I can.
