Hellooo

My partner and I are both from the wonderful city of Montreal, Canada, but at the moment we are enjoying ourselves in the equally great city of London, UK.

We both love exploring large cities and hidden nature and have a shared passion for Italian cooking :) I am at the moment studying on my own, completing a thesis for my home university in Montreal, while waiting tables at an Italian restaurant in Carnaby, central London. My partner teaches sciences at a high school in North London, and we are both passionate about our work/studies.

We both value the beauty of chance encounter; not all couchsurfing matches can be perfect (who knows what makes a perfect match anyway?); when it happens, it is the greatest thing in the world; otherwise, we try to have fun and are always respectful.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The usual:
Meeting new people;
Sharing stories and dishes, and;

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The Good One: Driving on the left side on Scottish single lane road.

The Bad One: Getting kicked out of bottomless brunch :(

Teach, Learn, Share

We can talk about the environment and climate change;
My partner can teach you highschool science;
I can cook a mean tomato sauce that I can share with you;
I can teach you French (or my partner can teach you English);
I'd like to have conversation in Spanish;

Most importantly, chance encounter will bring about unforeseen opportunities to create memories and stories.

What I Can Share with Hosts

All of the above plus:
A part of my French-Canadian culture;
Hopefully moments of connection, transcendance and sensibility;
Otherwise just my laid-back, calm and quiet self;
I like listening to people's stories more than I like to recount mine.
