**Si vous parlez français, écrivez-nous en français! Nous sommes Québécois et francophones :)**

We are an unwed couple of outdoor enthusiasts, books collectors and political wisecrackers. In our free time, we like to swing dance, watch Rupaul Drag Race and play boardgames. We study in different academic fields but are miserably passionate about everything and would love to share those passions with you :) Arts and politics drive us : we wish to bring more beauty and social justice to this world.

Yes, we also do have different personnalities! Alexandre loves cats but Audrey is REALLY allergic hahaha. No kidding, Audrey is really involved in the feminist community. She loves to thriftshop and enjoys saying she's irritated about everything (even though she's never truly). Alexandre is fascinated with ancient civilisations, thinks samosas can be a great breakfast and could play for you a couple of songs from our country if you have a guitar to lend.

We believe travelling to be an opportunity to grow and learn. We want to take the time to immerse ourselves in the new places we discover and really feel them, instead of running to see every touristic site. Since visiting other countries is a privilege, we think travels should always be made in a spirit of respectful exchange, acknowledgment and appreciation of the differences.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We are planning a trip around the mediterranean sea in winter / spring 2020 (February to June). We are planning of going to Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt, Greece, Italy, Corsica, France and Catalonia and we would like to find free accomodations hahaha.

Jokes apart, we believe that meeting people is one of the best part of travelling. We think couchsurfing fits perfectly our travelling philosophy and want to share our experiences with this wonderful community. In a society that tends to tear us apart, we think it's beautiful that couchsurfing brings solidarity and connexion between humans.

We are also open to be hosts in our own city! We both live in Montreal. Alexandre has an apartment in Rosemont and Audrey in Hochelaga, which are two nice neighbourghoods, not far from downtown. We would be happy to offer you a place to stay and give you tips on where to go.

Music, Movies, and Books

Alexandre's favorite song is Amanamonesia by Chairlift. His favorite movie is Slavoj Zizek's A pervert's guide to ideology and his favorite book Homer's Iliad.

Audrey doesn't want to choose just one song, one movie or one book. She shamelessly loves kitsch and cheesy music : one of her favorite singer is Celine Dion. She loves movies and books that offer a feminist point of view. If she really had to choose one : the movie Thelma and Louise and for the book, Nelly Arcan's Whore (Nelly Arcan's a writer from Quebec I would just love to tell you about).

Teach, Learn, Share

Alexandre can teach you a couple of chess tricks and a couple of chords on a guitar. Audrey can show you tricks to win a debate and teach you the whole lyrics of an impressive number of songs (which is gonna go perfectly with your new guitar skills).

Together, we can show you some swing dance's moves, some french or some english and, of course, we would love to share with you some things from Quebec, whether it's food, music or funny expressions.

We would like to learn anything you have to teach us, especially if it's in relation with where you are from :) We particularly love to learn new languages and new dance moves.
