I'm a French Ph.D student in mountain hydrology (focusing on proglacial hydrology in Yukon), based in Montreal. I moved to Quebec in May 2021 after 4 years in Grenoble, a city in French Alps.
As you maybe guessed, I'm a true outdoor lover: hiking, running, skiing, mountaineering, cycling...

I can't host for now as I only have a sublet in a colocation for the summer but I'd like to meet other people to enjoy the city and have nice talks! I can't wait to have my own flat where I can host people and give back what I've received from CS hosts during my last trip through Europe...

I'm a curious, optimistic and easy-going person, I like to party and to enjoy a beer with friends and music but I also appreciate a lot being in the outdoors, fulfilled by serenity, beauty and effort.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

First, it was to be hosted in the countries I travelled and, by this way, meet locals and enjoying time with them. I could never host since I used CS for the first time (twice in 2015). But these last months I've been hosted by so amazing people around Europe that now it has became very important to me: when I'll have a home again, I want to be able to host and to give back what I've received from all these wonderful people!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Everyday can be an adventure if you decide so...

But here are some of the most memorable to me, when you can say on the evening "ok, this day was something different" :

- Hitchhiking along the Australian East Coast for 3000km
- Snorkeling in the Great Barrier Reef
- Climbing the Mont Ventoux and the Col du Galibier by bike
- Hitchhiking 2000 km across France, Switzerland, Germany and Austria in 40 hours without sleep for a challenge
- Mountaineering on the Glacier Blanc (French Alps) and jumping through crevasses
- trekking the Velebit range in Croatia for 7 days, alone and sleeping in mountain cabins
- and all the nice people I've met and talked to through hitchhiking

Teach, Learn, Share

I think we can learn from everyone, you just need to listen. That's what I like in meeting people from everywhere.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Just sharing something: a discussion, a debate, a travel story, a moment while discovering a city, an outdoor activity, listening music, a beer, a coffee, a meal, a party...
I can also help you to practice French if you are learning it, or cooking some French recipe (bœuf bourguignon, gratin dauphinois, quiche lorraine...) or let you discover some French music (or electronic music) I like.
I'm up to what it's convenient to you! I just want to share, to learn about my host and to enjoy the moment.
