About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My mission is to find my balance and enjoy life!

ABOUT ME

I loooooooooove to travel.
I loooooooooove to meet new interesting and fun people!
I loooooooooove to eat and cook!!! : )

As you might guess I also enjoy learning different languages..., taking photos, riding my bike, taking long walks, sitting on a bench and watching people, go to see independent movies or even blockbusters, dancing with my friends, laughing! Having a good time!!!

Can I say that I am very nice? Well I am : ) But more seriously, I am a positive and open minded person who loves to share adventures with others. I'm always ready to try new things!

I teach french to immigrants in Québec city and that leads me to meeting people from around the world every week and thats why I love it so much! It's a cheap way to travel! It makes me learn new things from different cultures and mentalities every day!

PHILOSOPHY

Try to learn as much as I can from my life and have different kinds of experiences cause I really don't know what's coming up next ; )

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would like to receive people at my place when I can and can show them around... or go for a coffee too. I live in one of the most beautiful city of the world Québec city, and I hope my guest will have an amazing time here!!!

I might need a couch one day and would love to meet you ! I like to travel and having someone to give us more information about the city and the culture is always good. I like to share stories with people and chat!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Before being a member of CS I have received many many friends and friends of friends at my apartment.
I have received around 10 couchsurfers here. Loved it! I would love to be able to meet the people who are going to stay here but I don't mind people using my place as a "hotel" cause I understand travelers and I know it's really nice to get a free place to stay and people who can help you around the city!
I have couchsurfed in Panama, Chicago, Minneapolis and I loved my experience.

Interests

Love my job, teaching french to immigrants is very enriching and I'm just so happy I can do it!
Of course ... love to travel.
I like to do hiking, biking, partying too sometimes.
Just like everyone here, I like to meet new people and that's why I'm a member.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Lake Louise: Alberta
Whalewatching: Tadoussac, Québec
Matchupicchu: Peru

The snow on the threes here in Québec when everything is so white and pure.
When there's glazed frost on the branches and I walk around the city at night when nobody is out cause it's too cold. It's calm and beautifull cause the branches are all shiny and I love it.

When we finally have one sunny day after like 6 months of snow and cold. Everybody gets crazy, girls put their shortest skirts on, boys have pain in their eyes from looking... hahahah just amazing what one beautifull day can do in here.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know Québec city very well so will be more than glad to show people around.
mmm what else, well I know about teaching/learning languages so maybye I can give people tips about that...
Can share food, alcohol, stories, lots of stories to tell!!!
