I came to Colombia at the beginning of December 2016 to work as Communication advisor for an international NGO based in Bogota, working in human rights projects. I am very happy to discover Colombia, I've been dreaming of it during the past years!

Before that experience, I have been living in Montreal for 10 years, but I cheated as I travelled many times, for example in Brazil during 3 months. I have also lived 2 years in Guatemala (CA), where I worked in the handcraft and coffee sectors for another NGO. So now I feel half French half Latino!

I'd say I'm someone who is open-minded, I like to meet new people to talk with, to laugh with, to share activities. I speak French, Spanish, English and Portuguese.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A few years ago, a friend of mine received Brazilians in his flat in Paris meanwhile I was visiting him and I loved this experience.

Personally I started offering people to stay at home about 4 years ago, even if it was not through this website. I love to meet new people, share our experiences and just spend a good time together, having a dinner or going to a show, etc.
