ENGLISH - FRANÇAIS - ESPAÑOL

I am an easy-going person who likes to socialise. I can be really calm and professional when it's time to work and be very active when it's time to move!

I grew up in a family that traveled a lot. Each summer, my parents drove us all around United-States in an RV. Since then, I never stopped travelling. Every year, I try as much as possible to find a new destination to discover.

I'm a french speaking Canadian (j'parle québécois). I was born in the province of Quebec, in a small town. I built a camper van to live in it an to be able to travel around Canada and USA. I am passionate by rock climbing and mountaineering.

Here are some web sites that can help you know me better:

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing to meet new people, exchange travel experiences. Beside hosting or be hosted, I found that CS helps to get travelers together, either for getting out for a drink or planning activities to do abroad.

My current travel is to Reunion Island (Ile de la Réunion) for 3 month (Sept to Dec. 2015) I plan to do couchsurfing for the first time on this trip!

I really wish I could host, but I don't think my van is big enough to receive guests..! :(

I often travel alone: for the sens of liberty or because my friends don't have a schedule as flexible as mine.

Interests

I love climbing!!!

I also do a lot of different sports of adventure such as:
Kayaking, hiking, trail running, skiing, etc.
I would like to try canyoning and paragliding.

I play a bit of guita, drum and piano.

I like photo and video editing!
